ASKING PRICE: 1,68 MILLION USD
Location is everything!
We are the closest resort to Bouma National Heritage Park i.e. less travel time & less expensive transfers.
We are in Matei, on the Northern side of the island, where the dive shops, restaurants, bars and shops are located.
The heart and soul of this resort are our staff. When you come here, you will be treated as a friend of the family. Therein lies the secret of our success – these people will change your perspective of what a holiday should be.
As a recent friend and guest said “After being on Taveuni for almost two weeks it was difficult to leave. An hour there seemed to last 2 hours; completely devoid of a sense of urgency. The simplicity of life on Taveuni is very soothing & relaxing, which is exactly what we were seeking on our holiday. We look forward to returning to collect the pieces of our hearts that we left behind.”
Our Accommodation
Beachfront Cottages...
Private and intimate accommodation with direct beach access.
The Banana Bure
This bure is located right down on the lower part of the property, closest to the beach. The cottage has windows all around, with views of the ocean from 3 sides.
From your king-size bed, you can see banana trees, hibiscus and watch the sunrise over the 1st island. There is a little fridge in the room for your snacks & cold drinks, and a lovely ceiling fan spinning over your bed.
When you return from your swim it is ten steps from the beach up to the attached hot water honeymoon shower. You can see the ocean while you bathe outdoors in complete privacy! (there are walls on all sides with a door on the front that is just high enough for privacy, but low enough to see the ocean) It is so nice that many of our guests have returned to their homes & added outdoor showers after their stay here with us! After you’ve enjoyed bathing in privacy outdoors, there is a second door that brings you right into the cottage. Now, this is the way to bathe in the tropics!
At night when you close your eyes, you will hear the sound of the waves on the shore outside your windows. If you like, you can tiptoe down to the sand for a dip under the stars. Otherwise, the hammock is a great place to relax and see the clearest night sky you’ve ever seen. Ever.
The Mango Bure
This is our newest bure, & from every window are views of the beach and the garden, with mango trees and butterfly orchids in abundance outside. Large windows allow the warm tropical breeze to carry the scent of flowers into your room. Just 30 steps & you are on the beach!
Are you looking for a breathtaking view? If you are, this is the bure for you. Because it is set up the slope from the beach this bure has the advantage of height with expansive ocean views. Our island is famous for the kula birds, which look like small parrots. And the best seats in the house at sundown are on the verandah of the Mango Bure. You will see them flitting through the air at sunset, flying in packs from coconut tree to coconut tree.
The Mango Bure has a king-size bed and overhead fan. There is also a single bed under the side window on which you can read your book, and a small fridge nearby for your cold drinks. It is a spacious room with high ceilings, and the walls are covered in indigenous reeds that give the room a real island feeling. There is a large verandah in the front with two oversized chaise lounges. It is the perfect spot to spend the late afternoon and watch the colors of the sky change over the ocean as the sunsets.
From the bathroom, you step outdoors to the attached hot water “honeymoon shower”. It was built from lava rocks we found down the island and has a Mango tree cascading over the rock wall. Talk about a special place to bathe! You haven’t lived until you have showered here outdoors, in total privacy, looking out at the sea.
The Papaya Bure
This light and airy bure are cooled by the trade winds that rustle through the papaya trees outside. It has a queen-size bed, ceiling fan and a little fridge in the corner for your cold drinks. Its louvered windows provide beautiful views of the ocean and sunrise from your bed! Outside, on your verandah, there are heliconias and hibiscus everywhere, and down a few steps is the outdoor lava rock shower.
Of course, there is a hot water shower inside your bure, but this outside one is the perfect place to rinse off after a swim & watch the sunlight reflect off the ocean waters. It has a cute little half door in the front so that you can see the ocean from here without frightening the fish.
Many guests love the fact that this bure has views of sunrise & the 3 islands right from their bed! It is smaller than the other 2 bures (192 sq feet inside plus a 64 sq foot outside verandah), but just as lovely with wonderful beach views. From this bure, the soft white sand beach is only 29 steps.

The Best Place To Dine on Taveuni
We are consistently rated as one of the best places to eat on the island for guests and non-guests alike.
The restaurant is small and intimate, set on the front verandah of our island home and overlooking the ocean. It is a very special feeling that we want you to experience.
We lean towards fresh fish and seafood, organically grown vegetables from our garden and homemade pasta. We love to prepare curries and Fijian food as well, and we also serve organic grass-fed aged Taveuni eye fillet and burgers!
You can enjoy your meal in the restaurant, on your private verandah, or down on the beach by candlelight.
Our House Reef
Are you a snorkeler?
These are the three main reasons that guests say they chose this slice of paradise:
In addition to being the lone resort under $500 that is located on the only soft sand beach on Taveuni, we are fortunate to be the top-rated house reef on the island!
Our coral cover is 20% higher than the average Fiji reef (ours is 66% coral, the average is 45%).
You will love being able to swim a lazy 10-12 minutes right from the beach to over a dozen beautiful snorkel reefs. If you prefer to use the kayak it will just take you 8 or 10 minutes. Either way, you’re in for an incredible excursion.
When you arrive you will notice a basic map in the folder in your bure. It highlights some of my favorite snorkel spots. I try to update this every few months as my priorities change! But it will give you a good idea of which way to head out.
Many guests spend 3 or 4 hours out there exploring! And some guests come here just for our snorkeling.
In 29 years of living here, I must say I always see something new.
We have all the gear that you will need right here for you. The staff will set you up for your journey but we ask you to not go out 1.5 hours on either side of low tide. We want to protect you as well as our fragile reefs.
Diving The Rainbow Reef
Do you prefer to go further afield?
Our two favorite snorkel and dive shops will pick you up right from our doorstep here and take you out to what is rated the third-best snorkeling and diving in the world.
You will have a guide with you during your entire journey. When you come up from the snorkel or dive trip there’s heaps of snacks, hot tea and a clean towel waiting for you.
Julie and her team of experienced divers can offer to you world-class dive sites, PADI Dive Courses, daily dive excursions and well-maintained rental gear. All of this is only a short boat ride to the “Soft Coral Capital of the World”, take in the famous dive sites of “Rainbow Reef, The White Wall, The Cabbage Patch etc… too many to list.
Julie and her crew can offer to you:
Also available are, Picnic, fishing, and snorkeling trips.
Julie is fully certified to teach PADI qualifications to new divers to discover the beautiful underwater world here at Taveuni.
I promise you will not be disappointed once you see what is underwater on Taveuni!
Our Spa
Has a group of four fully trained massage therapists at our resort, here to pamper you during your stay on Taveuni Island in Fiji.
Their training comes from the director of SS School of M & Natural Therapeutics. This woman has had 35 years of experience in private practice in Hawaii and California and has mastered a broad spectrum of massage techniques which she has taught her students here in Fiji.
In this country, there is an abundance of natural talent in the massage and the healing arts that is passed down from the ancestors, so the professional training they receive simply enhances their natural gift.
Because of the high cost involved in this caliber of massage, it is usually only available at the upper-end resorts. Coconut Grove is proud to offer it to our guests at a very reasonable price.
Massage can be done at the new, private massage bure on the beach or on your private verandah.
Taveuni – Fiji’s “Garden Island”
Taveuni Island in Fiji is ideal for the traveller who wants to experience one of the few places left on earth that is still pristine and unaffected by the modern world. And Coconut Grove Resort is right ‘in the thick of it all.
We can arrange any of the following for you:
On the other hand, you can simply chill and…
On the side, I would like to tell you something here. I have always been an admirer of the night sky – an amateur gazer I guess. Whether it was the sky in Connecticut where I grew up or the incredible shooting stars in Ladakh in northern India, they have all left incredible photos in my mind’s eye.
But I must say to you that you will never ever see the sky more clearly, more brilliantly, or more dramatically, than here on Taveuni in the Fiji Islands.
Bird Watching on Taveuni
The best “birder” on our island is Bobby, a man committed to the preservation of our bird wildlife on this island. Trips to his bird sanctuary can be arranged for you right here from the resort. The best time is late in the day and can be combined with a snorkel trip or horseback riding nearby.
Taveuni, Fiji is home to many species of tropical birds, a large proportion endemic.
Perhaps the main reason for the variety of birdlife is the absence of the mongoose, which was introduced on many of the other islands to control the rat population.Taveuni’s relatively inaccessible mountains and abundant food supply also have made it a haven for many species.
Professor Allen Keast and Mr. David Bishop, both respected in the field of bird watching, describe the experience here as one of their most memorable.
You may be fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of any or all of the following:
Orange Dove, Many Coloured Fruit Dove, Ground-Dove, Turtle Dove, Whistling Dove, Green Dove, Silk Tail, Parrot Finches, Honey-eater, Orange Breasted Honey-eater, Fly Catcher, Broad Bill, Fantail, Barking Pigeon, White-Throated Pigeon, Triller, Parrot, Collared Lory, White Eye, Golden Whistler.
