Moodys Namena ! |
MOODY'S NAMENA RESORT, FIJI is an environmentally friendly private island South Pacific getaway and offers scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing or honeymoon vacations with Fijian bure accommodation. The Resort is a secluded paradise with white sand beaches as well as hiking trails through tropical forest..
The dragon-shaped island, with several powder-soft white sand beaches, is home to a six bure (Fijian for cottage) resort owned and operated by Tom and Joan Moody.
Unlike most island resorts where the bures, restaurant, bar & activities center is situated 'on the beach', to make the most of spectacular vistas of reefs, beaches and distant islands, we decided to locate on the clifftop where one not only has panoramic views, but catches the tradewinds as well.
The various 'bure' sites were chosen carefully and spaced hundreds of yards apart to provide the ultimate in privacy. Exploring the natural beauty of Namenalala
ACCOMMODATION !
Our resort bures are hexagonal and built of native woods, bamboo and cane to blend with the environment. As each bure is perched along the ridge, all are oceanfront and each has its own unique view out to sea, overlooking either the beach or the reefs at the base of the cliffs. Four of the six bures face northwesterly towards the southern coast of Vanua Levu. 'Lawendua' is named after the elegant long-tailed tropicbirds which nest in crevices of the cliff-face below the bure. Several walls have floor-to-ceiling sliding louvered doors so by fully opening the doors, one has a 180 degree view out to sea. Various tropical bushes, plants and fruit trees lend color and provide privacy between each bure..
DINING !
The large hexagonal bure, 'vale ni kana' - or clubhouse, is our central gathering place consisting of lounge area, dining, self-serve bar and houses a large paperback library. Here you will find books on fish and coral identification, birds, local culture & traditions. Dining is usually communal and a time to share the day's experiences with fellow guests. However, for our romantics or honeymoon couples who prefer to dine alone, our staff are happy to set up a table on the patio. Meals are included in the daily tariff. Our kitchen staff bake breads, pastries, cakes daily and can cater to your dietary requirements.
Our cuisine is a blend of local and international fare and staff are happy to share or swap recipes.
ACTIVTIES !
During your stay with us, enjoy a range of activities both on land and in the ocean, with scuba diving, snorkeling, nature hikes, bird watching, fishing, kayaking and much more..
OTHER FACILITIES !
Kayaks: You are welcome to use our kayaks at any time. The island is approximately a mile long and it takes between 2-3 hours to circumnavigate the island. Some guests choose to spend the day kayaking from beach to beach, stopping to snorkel various offshore reefs. We'll send a picnic lunch to a designated area for the couple to pick up.
Or, spend a morning or afternoon hiking to the Dragon's Head; one trail follows the ridge where, at the highest point of the island (400 feet) you will find the remains of an ancient ring fortification, relics of the migratory Lapita people who lived in the islands prior to the present-day Fijian peoples.
