Namale Resort, Fiji: The 5-star Resort You’ve Seen Before!

The Namale Resort & Spa is one of ‘those resorts… in the magazine pictures’ – which most all of us has certainly admired, but not by name. And when we say we’ve seen this 5-star luxury resort somewhere, we mean some of us saw it while we were watching ABC’s ‘The Bachelorette’ TV series, or on Oprah Winfrey’s show, or while scrolling down last year’s hotel awards for Travel + Leisure, Conde Nast, and many other award shows. Oh yeah, it does ring a bell now. 😉

Where is the Namale Resort, Fiji?

The Namale Resort & Spa is set on the island of Vanua Levu, affectionately called by Fijian as the ‘other big island’. To answer a question nobody asked, the ‘big island’ in question is Viti Levu, Fiji’s mainland, so to speak. This landmass teems with natural beauty and biodiversity. So much so that,

The Namale Resort is located on the island of Savusavu, which is part of the Vanua Levu group of islands in Fiji. This luxury resort is set on a stunning 525-acre peninsula on the island of Savusavu, offering breathtaking views of the ocean and the rainforest.

Savusavu has a rich history and culture, as well as a diverse ecosystem that includes coral reefs, volcanic hot springs, waterfalls, and wildlife. Travellers can easily reach Savusavu by taking a domestic flight from Nadi or Suva, or by taking a ferry from Taveuni or Labasa. After disembarkation from the domestic airport, the resort is just a short drive away.
