Nukubati Great Sea Reef

Dining and Cultural Experiences: Dining is a highlight, with fresh, locally sourced, and organic food accommodating various dietary needs. Traditional Fijian cultural experiences, such as kava ceremonies, add to the charm.

Nukubati is paradise! Absolutely everything is perfect, the location, the staff, the food, the focus on sustainability - everything has been carefully considered and exceeds all expectations. Nukubati feels like your own private slice of paradise. It feels like you have the whole beach to yourself and when you look out across the ocean there are no other buildings, lights or noise around, it feels incredibly private, secluded and special to be there. When we went snorkeling on the Great Sea Reef we were the only ones out there and had the whole reef to ourselves (what a once-in-lifetime unforgettable experience!) We had a beach front bure where we could see the ocean from the bed, and the stars at night that are absolutely magical. The food is mostly organic farm to table or fresh seafood caught from the sea, and they offer fresh juices and wellness shots like turmeric and local grown ginger if you’re looking to detox, but also have fantastic cocktails and an extensive wine menu. They cater to all dietary requirements, they baked me fresh home made gluten free bread every day, and had a selection of gluten free desserts that were absolutely delicious. They provide yoga mats so you can practice yoga on your own private deck overlooking the ocean or own slice of the beach, and they have an extensive library of books so you can truly unplug from technology and relax. My massage with the beautiful Eta was divine, and the massage oil was coconut oil made from the island’s coconuts! The strong focus on sustainability is exceptional, the resort was the first solar powered resort in the South Pacific, and uses fresh rainwater - which has been treated and tested and found to be purer than bottled branded Fiji water! The staff make you feel like family, and the fact that there have been 3 generations of staff from the same family working there is a testament to how amazing the managers Lara and Leone are. I cannot recommend Nukubati enough!

We had the most amazing day with Lara and Leon at Nukubati Island. My wife and I were travelling with our good friends from the US and I was looking for a special experience for them and decided to snorkelling the Great Sea Reef. Lara, Leon and their team (Cliff, John, James, Sarah) made us feel incredibly welcome. We were picked up and transported to the island by boat, given breakfast and then taken out to snorkel the reef. All gear was available to us and we snorkelled in three different places which was amazing. Coral, fish, sharks, caves - just stunning! After the snorkelling we were provided with a Bure to shower in and then a beautiful 3 course lunch followed with a tour of the island. If you want an experience to remember in Fiji then I highly recommend talking with Lara and heading out to the reef to snorkel or dive. Our friends were completely blown away by the experience. We will definitely be back again and would love to stay on the island next time! Vinaka vakalevu, Mark, Ali, Matt and Maryanne
