The Astrolabe Reef Resort
Tiliva Resort – the Great Astrolabe Reef Resort is Fijian owned. Kemu, having spent many years in Europe returned home to establish the resort in order to help his village. It is a small intimate resort offering a very personal service with a true Fijian welcome.
This remote eco resort is set in 18 acres of lush tropical gardens with its own secluded beachfront having magnificent views across the bay to the island of Ono. Its location is just minutes from the Great Astrolabe Reef and Waisomo reserve, yet it is remote, and secluded, far away from the mainstream resorts.
The resort has one beachfront honeymoon bure (bungalow) and five deluxe garden bures with ocean views. The beachfront bure is just footsteps from the beach having a 360 degree veranda one side of which overlooks the sea. It has its own comfortable deck chairs and sun loungers on the veranda.
Many of the indigenous trees within the resort have been maintained, not only for medicinal purposes but for privacy for the bures. The sites for the bures have been carefully selected bearing in mind the environment and privacy for the guests, to this end the bures are individually nestled in the trees for seclusion thereby enhancing the feeling of remoteness and more in contact with nature. Yet the bures offer all the creature comforts you would expect at home. They are fully tiled throughout with high wooden ceilings, ceiling fans, the doors and windows are fully meshed against mosquitoes. They are not in a straight row along the beachfront; each bure is standalone and has its own veranda and side decking, tucked away in the trees, but retaining the ocean view.
