They weren’t kidding when they named The Remote Resort — a chic all-inclusive boutique hotel located on a secluded peninsula on Vanua Levu. With striking architecture and contemporary decor throughout, The Remote Resort feels different from most other luxury properties in Fiji. But guests can still count on top-notch Fijian hospitality, excellent food, and a laundry list of on-site activities. All seven rooms are beautifully appointed and were constructed with local, sustainable materials. Rooms’ outdoor bathrooms and plunge pools are a real highlight, but some travelers may not like the lack of TVs and air-conditioning. The Remote Resort doesn’t have many communal amenities like a pool, spa, or fitness center, so travelers in search of these features might prefer Paradise Cove Resort, a larger property that tends to be more crowded.

The three-pearl Daku Resort advertises itself as “Vintage Fiji…at vintage prices,” a slogan that hits the nail on the head. Daku is a no-frills place that capitalizes on its stunning location and gorgeous natural surroundings. Its 21 rooms have a casual island-y feel that doesn’t seem contrived. Guests spend their days snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, and even lounging by the pool. Some take advantage of the small spa, while others make use of the open-air yoga studio. Daku often hosts large groups for weeklong retreats in yoga, painting, writing, or birdwatching, which may make non-retreat guests feel left out. Travelers looking for a more intimate setting might prefer the nearby Naveria Heights Lodge, though it’s pricier and farther from the beach.

Sprawled across a gorgeous cliff overlooking the Koro Sea, Namale the Fiji Islands Resort & Spa is the definition of paradise. As a luxurious adult-only resort, Namale is popular with couples, especially honeymooners (there's even a heart-shaped hot tub on the grounds). The gorgeous 19-room resort oozes with romance, and its all-inclusive rates cover everything from excellent dining and top-shelf liquor, to motorized water sports, Savusavu Airport transfers, and horseback riding on the beach. Topnotch amenities include a gorgeous spa, two pools, an indoor bowling alley, and a nine-hole golf course -- but the hotel’s beach is too rocky for swimming. Though Namale is beautifully maintained, the property does show signs of age. Travelers looking for an equally luxurious property with a more modern feel might prefer The Remote Resort, though it doesn’t have nearly as many amenities as Namale.

Located on a massive hill above Savusavu harbor, Naveria Heights Lodge is a charming boutique hotel with postcard-worthy views. The four-pearl property has four individually decorated rooms, an outdoor plunge pool, and a relaxed communal living space. The owner and her small staff prepare delicious daily breakfasts for guests and are happy to arrange local activities and excursions. Unfortunately, the hotel’s location atop a steep hill means nothing is within walking distance, and guests have to rely on staff members to drive them up and down the harrowing road that leads to the property. Nearby Daku Resort is larger and has more on-site amenities, but is farther from town and lacks Naveria’s intimate boutique feeling.

Perched on a hill overlooking Savusavu Harbor, Savusavu Hot Springs Hotel is one of few value hotels in the area. Though its decor is dated and its rooms are bare bones, the hotel is a solid option for travelers on a budget. Plus, it has a beautiful pool with stunning harbor views, and is within walking distance of Savusavu’s shops and restaurants. Though its name might suggest otherwise, there are no on-site hot springs at Savusavu Hot Springs Hotel, but there are some nearby. Travelers looking for a hotel with a few more features might prefer nearby Daku Resort, which is a bit pricier and further from town, but offers nicer rooms and better amenities.
