The resort features include a white sandy beach (quite rare in Taveuni), swimming pool with waterfall, as well as Fijian
meke dance and
kava ceremonies. Maravu is one of the luxury choices on Taveuni. The resort is quiet, leafy and charming and provides a very peaceful Fijian island atmosphere.
More energetic activities include horse riding, mountain-biking, kayaking, snorkelling, hiking, 4WD-trips and world class diving in Taveuni.
Fijian melodies performed by the house band make every gourmet candle light dinner a special and memorable occasion. Fiji's 'Garden Island' tends to be for the active but if you seek comfort and peace between your adventures look no further than Maravu Plantation Resort - the choice of the more discerning visitor to Taveuni.
