Vatulele Island

Vatulele Island

Vatulele Island (Vatulele Island) is a uniquely distinctive island in Fiji, exuding an adventurous and romantic atmosphere while being far removed from the hustle and bustle of the modern world — no phones, fax machines, radios, televisions, not even newspapers. It is said that the Fijian word “Vatulele” translates to “ring-shaped rocks” in English, which would make Vatulele Island an island covered in ring-shaped rocks.

Upon arriving at Vatulele Island, you can leave all your worries behind and soak up the Fijian sunshine to your heart’s content, all while being attentively served by 54 staff members. The maximum number of visitors is limited to 24, resulting in a staff-to-guest ratio of two to one. The friendly staff come from four villages on the island. In addition to the island’s several beaches, you can also visit nearby islands and islet communities, home to hundreds of species of seabirds. You can also explore villages that craft tapa cloth, as well as caves, lighthouses, and jungle trails.

If you’re feeling active, you can try surfing and sailing — there is a wide variety of yachts available, and scuba diving is very popular here. You can go on wreck dives or simply spend the whole day lying around. The most popular activity on Vatulele Island is lounging in a hammock after lunch. Fishing is another thrilling pastime; the island is surrounded by coral reefs teeming with various fish species, including snapper, yellowtail, and marlin. Vatulele Island is said to be the home of the legendary red-whiskered shrimp, regarded as a sacred spot. Visitors might want to see if the legend holds true.
