Walking past the resort's picturesque lagoons, Villa guests approach from a curving stone pathway landscaped with tropical foliage and flowers. Entering the solid vesi doors, the Daybed Bure, Horizon Edge Pool and al fresco dining area come into view.

Reflecting their Fijian essence, the structure and materials feature local thatch, bamboo reeds and hardwood timbers. Underfoot are a 'wood' deck of recycled materials or imported stone paving. Cotton silk fabrics in vibrant reef colors enrich the dicor.

To the left, the Master Suite features a luxurious bathroom with a generous spa tub with whirlpool, a two-person indoor shower, chaise lounge, and two vanities with Aqua glass vanity bowls, copper Bisazza tiles and beveled gilt mirrors. Stone pillars are lit with custom-made copper 'torchlights.' A Savusavu builder created the cabinetry.

Floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors open onto lush tropical gardens, where an 11-foot waterfall seems to cascade into the bathroom. Near the waterfall are a two-person outdoor shower and an outdoor cafi table, ideal for morning coffee. A separate, enclosed lavatory overlooks this courtyard.

From the spa, flagstone stairs lead to the upper level, highlighted by the stunning four-poster canopy bed. Draped with luminous gauze fabric, the King-sized bed with down pillows ensures a luxurious sleep. Flanking the stairs, yakka wood, bow-front armoires with bronze handles offer abundant storage and a generous safe. Copper inlaid night tables offer a mini-bar and quality sound system with a selection of music and iPod-ready fittings. The room also features a writing desk, reading chair, bamboo accent table with candelabra, and copper-beveled mirror. The exotic decor also includes an imposing Priest Oil Dish, wooden totem carved by skilled Fijian craftsmen, and eclectic imported furniture.

The Master Suite's doors open fully to a view over the upper deck, including two sunlounges and side table. Here the Daybed Pergola, three steps up from the lower deck, overlooks the Horizon Edge Pool - 15 feet wide and four feet deep - and the ocean and reefs beyond.

To the right of entry is a spacious, relaxed living area (or second bedroom). It features comfortable lounge seating and convenient kitchenette amenities, including a stovetop, sink and refrigerator stocked with complimentary beverages and snacks. A separate bathroom offers an additional shower and lavatory. This area's doors open onto the alfresco dining deck and pool, while its picture window showcases the Island beyond. Just past the pool is another outdoor shower and steps leading to the Villa's private stone patio and the beachfront.

The Villa's interior features air-conditioning, and ceiling fans throughout provide a cooling breeze.

Inspired by the Balinese Villa concept, where living outdoors is integral to the daily experience, the resort's Villa project was designed and managed by Interior Architect Karen Taylor, who also co-manages the resort with her husband Greg Taylor. Karen's background includes hotel and resort design, and project management in Australia and Fiji.
