Rainbow Reef Resort is a unique Eco-beachfront resort, dedicated to renewal, diving, fine dining, and loosing yourself in Fiji time. Totally secluded and very private, living in unison with nature and featuring world class diving and snorkeling, we offer a different kind of tourism.

Accessible only by water and situated on a thirty-acre peninsula, just west of the International Dateline, Rainbow Reef Resort is the first resort in the world to greet the new day! Just 15 minutes by boat from Taveuni, this former coconut plantation boasts an exquisite beachfront location, overlooking the world famous "Rainbow Reef" at the Somosomo Strait. The resort is very private with cottages that offer optimum privacy, each on its own stretch of white sandy beach.

You came here for diving? No problem. The boat leaves every morning at 8:30 for a 2 tank dive (not included in fee) and since all sites are just 5-10 minutes away, the closest you can get from any other resort, you will be back by lunch time. Enjoy sumptuous meals seaside, in a lovely indoor or open-air setting. The chef creatively prepares and beautifully presents Tropical and Pacific Rim cuisine, as well as fresh baked bread daily. Tell us your dietary needs and we can cater for them.

Rainbow Reef Resort offers four bures, all on the beach. All our spacious bures (Fijian cottages) are romantically sited on their own stretch of white sandy beach. Optimum privacy is assured by generous spacing between cottages and lush tropical plantings.

ORCHID AND TIARE BURES have the same open floor-plan, featuring outdoor shower atriums and an inviting ocean-front veranda with a thatched roof. Each is an artful blend of contemporary European amenities and South Pacific influences. Your king-sized bed is encircled in a large bedroom area, surrounding you with louver windows, inviting in the gentle tropical breezes. The bathrooms are spacious with Italian tiles, private toilet room and outdoor showers nestled in a garden atrium setting. All have fully screened louver windows, 12’ sliding glass doors, ceiling fans, and a mini fridge. Each includes a private deck at the water’s edge with lounge chairs, and kayaks, yours to enjoy.

  • We had a wonderful stay at Rainbow Reef. We went with our friends who had been before. I had seen pictures and heard from them what a wonderful place this was. To my surprise it was more then I ever could of expected. The accomodations were 5 star, the food was unbelievable with a cook and pastry chief. The staff was always available and pleasant to help us with whatever we needed. We have traveled all over the world for pleasure and I must say this was one of the best vacations we have ever taken. I highly recommend Rainbow Reef as a destination to visit.

  • Rainbow Reef is a very special place. I have been a guest at Rainbow Reef three times. Twice with my husband & three children and just this September with my husband and three other couples. You can't really explain the amazing experience of Rainbow Reef. Our friends had heard and seen pictures of our previous trips, but were still blown away by the reality of the amazing trip of a lifetime! You fall in love with the people & everything about the island. We had a few unexpected family things & travel issues come up while we were away in Fiji and everyone on staff at Rainbow Reef bent over backwards for us! They are a very knowledgeable & caring staff. They made it possible for us to stay and enjoy our vacation! The accommodations & food are wonderful and they sure know how to throw a party! We celebrated my husbands 50th birthday with a traditional Fijian Lovo feast. It was a great time, they even had local Fijian dancers come & perform for us. You can be as active as you want or just relax on the beach. I went scuba diving for the first time, what an amazing place for your first dive! I am hooked, but now I need an underwater camera! We visited the Mission at Natuvu Creek and volunteered to help in anyway that we could! We can't wait to get more involved helping the people of Fiji. We will be back for sure! Maybe for our 30th wedding anniversary next year!
