| HOTEL DESCRIPTION |
|
On
Navini, one of the smallest island resorts off the Nadi end of Viti
Levu Island, guests experience a casual and thoroughly relaxed destination
with the feeling of a private resort. Resort staff meet you at the
international airport or mainland Hotels when it suits you; within
an hour you can be swimming off the beach, or lounging under a thatched
umbrella with a refreshing drink. The “no day trippers”
policy ensures there are never any crowds on Navini...
You can and will stroll around the island in 10 minutes, surveying
your domain from the circle of the beach on this true coral cay
rising a few metres from lapping tides. In from the beach are coconut
palms and shady big-leafed trees, and a profusion of tropical flowers
picked daily to decorate your Fijian bure and dining table. Navini
caters for only 10 bures.
Navini Island's best-loved feature, along with its golden beaches
surrounded by crystal clear waters, is its Fijian people. The greatest
pleasure of Navini's 32 island staff (who outnumber guests), is
your enjoyment of the happiest, most relaxed holiday possible.
Nothing is too much trouble for these friendly, smiling people;
their enthusiasm and laughter are infectious, their generous and
hospitable natures equalled very seldom around the world. Navini
offers a taste of true Fijian culture and hospitality. Visitors
agree that at this unique place, you arrive as a guest and leave
as a lifetime friend. |

At Navini, your time is your own. A major decision is whether
to take the daily trip to the traditional village where some
of the staff live, trolling or dropline fishing over one of
the reefs, snorkeling or scuba diving around bombies and over
bright coral walls, visiting other island resorts or joining
a shopping trip to Nadi town. From the island, whenever the
mood strikes, you can take out the hobie-cat sailboat, borrow
snorkeling gear to watch the colourful fish, try the sailboard,
spyboard and canoes, or the new seacycles. The afternoon volleyball
game is an option. So is lying under a thatched umbrella reading
a book from the resort library or for a really relaxing experience,
try a Fijian style massage. |

Navini's open air dining room takes advantage of the surroundings;
tropical gardens, blue waters, sunset-tinted clouds. Lively
conversation is punctuated by waves lapping a few metres away
on the sand. Navini offers a tantalising selection of innovative,
traditional and Fijian dishes, with choices at all meals.
Dinner includes appetizer, soup, a variety of main courses
including vegetarian, and desserts. Fresh seafood and tropical
fruits are always there, but never the only alternative. Everything
the Navini kitchen serves is prepared there, from fresh baked
breads to home made ice creams. The dining room is fully licensed,
with a wide selection of cocktails, good Fijian beer and a
broad selection of wines. Private candlelight - and starlight
- dinners can be set up at a flower-laden table for two, on
the beach in front of your bure. |

Low key is probably the phrase. The soft harmonies of the
staff singers and guitars in the evening, with coconut shells
of the traditional drink, kava, while the vidi vidi (say 'vindy
vindy') board gets a workout, laughter and conversation are
the staples. About
once a week, Navini has a Fijian night with a big 'lovo' dinner
taken steaming from the underground oven. The night's kava
ceremony gives way to Fijian singing by the staff, and then
to a session of laughter and all-join-in dancing of what is
known traditionally as a 'tara-la-la'. Some
evenings everybody gathers around a beach bonfire shooting
sparks at the millions of stars in unpolluted skies and roasting
coconuts on the fire. |
