Likuliku ... delivering the Fijian product successfully
Likuliku Lagoon Resort, which opened its doors in 2007 offering Fiji’s first ever over-water bures has been awarded ‘Best Overseas Resort’ prize in the prestigious annual Luxury Travel Magazine’s 2010 Gold list.

Resort owner and managing director Tony Whitton said he believed Likuliku had successfully filled a previously vacant niche in Fiji in terms of what the resort offers.

“The property offers a unique concept in that it focuses on all things Fijian from design to service delivery while providing a unique product offering through the resorts over-water bures,” he added.

The award is a further endorsement for the luxury Mamanuca Islands property which last year was voted number five in the same category.

Since its opening, the resort has welcomed over 52,000 guests from all over the world with the majority coming from Australia, North American, Italy and other parts of Europe, Korea, United Kingdom, New Zealand and Japan.

“It is clear from the early positive response to Likuliku that we are delivering the Fijian experience we had set out to do and the key challenge remains to maintain that as we become more established,” Whitton said.

He stressed that the resort is proud of ancient Fijian traditions and cultures and is glad to be able to share this with their guests.

Likuliku Lagoon Resort is located 25 kilometers from Nadi International Airport and guests can arrive at the resort by helicopter, seaplane, private speedboat or fast catamaran transfer.
