Sau Bay Resort & Spa  

Perched on Na Sau Bay, Taveuni, this beach hotel sits on a serene bay fringed by its own house coral reef. Reachable by about a 20-minute boat ride across the Somosomo Strait, it’s minutes from Rainbow Reef and a few kilometres from the nearest town center.

This boutique retreat has only a handful of bures and cottages — oceanfront studio cottages, a luxury tented “treehouse” bure and a garden bure — so you won’t feel crowded. Rooms are air‑conditioned with sea views, minibars, pillowtop beds and creature comforts like bathrobes, DVD players and private terraces. The over‑water Somosomo Spa and a house reef give the place a quietly luxe, island‑escape vibe.

Indulge at the spa, sauna and massage room or dive right in with an on‑site diving club and nearby Rainbow Reef. Activities include SCUBA, snorkeling, paddle boarding, sailing, kayaking, hiking and Fijian cooking lessons. The property offers free Wi‑Fi on site, a library, picnic area, terrace, transfer and airport shuttle options (surcharge), plus laundry, dry cleaning and concierge services.

Event facilities include conference space and meeting rooms, and the property can be booked out for private groups, weddings or dive trips. Luggage storage and on‑site desk services are available.

Raintree Vale serves local and international cuisine with a bar/lounge vibe. Full breakfasts are served daily (7:00–9:00, fee) and limited room service is available. Expect island flavours and the chance to learn local dishes through hands‑on cooking lessons.
