Welcome in Paradise!

Paradise Taveuni Resort, located on the Garden Island of Taveuni, is found on the south end of the island, behind the mountains, protected from the wind, ensuring calm, clear waters year round.

The Resort
Paradise Taveuni is located about 40km and a scenic 60 minute drive from Taveuni's Matei Airport. Perfectly positioned on 5 acres of oceanfront land with deep-water frontage and an extinct volcano behind (900m high) as a dramatic background.

This beautiful Fijian resort features 10 traditional Fijian Bures for a maximum capacity of 20 guests, restaurant and bar, Pro Dive Taveuni dive shop, infinity swimming pool, gift shop and oceanfront Wedding Bure.

Paradise Taveuni has 24 hour generator power and a steady water source from a community supply. The water is fresh and great tasting. No need for bottled water in Paradise!

The Diving
Somosomo Strait (Fijian for 'good water') on the doorstep of Paradise Taveuni, has strong tidal currents, which provide a constant flow of nutrients, idyllic for soft corals and diverse fish life. Taveuni is world renowned for the spectacular soft coral sites such as Rainbow Reef, a  fringing reef almost 32km long on the southwest corner of Vanua Levu and easily accessed from Paradise Taveuni Resort. Not only the best Fiji scuba diving, but one of best scuba diving vacation sites in the world. If you haven't dived Taveuni, you must put it on your 'to do' list!

Dive sites in Taveuni are exciting and varied with sheer reef walls from 1000m to the surface, shallow sunlit coral gardens and current-flushed channels. You can even find "gravel groveling" and "muck diving" in protected bays on the Taveuni coast.

So expect to be amazed by Taveuni underwater treasures, with 1500 species of fishes including dozen of rare or endemic species, 1000 known species of invertebrates and thousands more discoveries predicted.
