About

Maravu Taveuni is nature/culture/adventure base for budget travellers for Taveuni and its beautiful surrounding islands. With a location close to the Taveuni Airport, the islands best beaches and set in the midst of a coconut plantation, the tropical paradise scene is set for your Fiji Island escape!

Accommodation is laid out like a Fijian Village and every room has high ceilings, hardwood floors and traditional decor. We have fast free WiFi throughout the entire property and every room has ensuite, AC and a balcony. The little restaurant/cafe is open daily. The open plan dining area allows stunning views at meal time. Make the most of the massive indoor/outdoor deck area for dining or relaxing.

The food is most often cooked with all local fruits and vege and seafood. Our cooks have a unique style and flavour that could found in some of Fiji's 5 star resorts, but at backpacker prices. Guests are often welcome to learn and/or be involved with the meal preparation and local cooking styles.

Adventure is abound with the famous reefs of the Taveuni on our doorstep, a beautiful private beach for a snorkel safari, the great waterfalls a short drive away, the lush tropical wonderland for walking all around, and some world-class surf breaks hidden on the adjacent isle....

What makes our place uniquely special is the wonderful, happy, friendly local team and the island way of life. Staff operate serenely, on Fiji time, and can often be found conversing quietly with guests or giving weaving, cooking and other village-life lessons. Happily they share their culture with any eager ears they happen to come across. You are welcome at any time to join the other guests in resort activities or make use of the restaurant, bar, pool or spa. Alternatively, you may choose to relax in the reclusiveness of your plantation sanctuary and allow our smiling staff to provide you with in-room food, beverage and massage services.

Our concierge booking desk is also at your disposal, and our local team is ready at all times to share their secret island knowledge to help you plan-out, make reservations and schedule transportation for your idyllic day.


We look forward to welcoming you home where the true Spirit of BULA gets you on to Fiji Time in no Time!!!!

Loved it here, met some amazing people. Initially it felt quiet and there weren’t many people there but after a day or so lots of people turned up and I had so much fun with them. The activity selection was good but we rented a car and I would say got more for our money. Also keep in mind the shower is pretty cold and there is no wifi in rooms or power from 11 am until 4 pm!

I had stayed before in Maravu Lodge and came back for another 3 nights, as the staff not only makes you feel like home, they make you feel part of the family! Rafa, Lavenia, Clair & Sisi, they all did their part, and the singing around the bowl of kava is such a great way to create that community feeling! This time I stayed in the 12-bed dorm, which has the bathroom conveniently attached, and everything was cleaned daily.

the place and the people are extremely lovely. The hostel is close to some amazing beaches. I just miss hot water for my shower and a place to store my backpack in the room. But yeah the Cava night was very good, I had a very good time. I will come back :)
