Time together, on a beautiful Fijian lagoon
Likuliku Lagoon Resort pairs traditional Fijian design with beachfront and over-water living, thoughtful dining and an unhurried island rhythm.
Wake to the lagoon, linger over lunch and choose between a reef adventure and a quiet afternoon on your deck. With just 45 bures and a welcome reserved for resident guests aged 17 and over, this is a lovely setting for a honeymoon, an anniversary or a holiday for two.

Fijian character, with a personal sense of escape
Natural textures, hand-crafted details and warm island hospitality give Likuliku Lagoon Resort its distinctive character.
The resort sits on Malolo Island, within the Mamanuca Islands. Its bures follow the beachfront or stand above the fringing reef, while the central gathering spaces take their inspiration from a traditional Fijian canoe house. The resort is wholly owned by a Fijian family, with conservation work connecting the surrounding land and lagoon.
It suits travellers who make exceptional dining part of the holiday, alongside peaceful surroundings and a choice of experiences without a packed itinerary. Forever Fiji can help you compare an over-water stay with the privacy of a beachfront plunge pool and arrange the journey from New Zealand.
Choose your place beside the lagoon
All 45 bures accommodate a maximum of two guests. Each has a king bed, air-conditioning, a sitting area, outdoor space, an espresso machine and a Smart TV. A limited number can be arranged as king twins, on request. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available, with limits on streaming and downloads.
Beachfront Bure
Six Beachfront Bures offer direct access to the beach, lagoon views, a deck and a daybed retreat. A secluded courtyard contains an outdoor shower. Choose this category for classic beachfront living without a private plunge pool.
Deluxe Beachfront Bure
The resort’s 29 Deluxe Beachfront Bures add a private plunge pool to the beachfront setting. A daybed retreat, outdoor shower and generous deck make it easy to spend time outside, with the lagoon close by.
Over-Water Bure
Ten Over-Water Bures sit above the natural lagoon and fringing reef. Each has a private deck and a separate bathing pavilion with a bathtub looking out to the water. A daily chef’s canapé plate is included. These bures do not have private pools.
Tell us your preferred bedding and any mobility needs before booking. Specific bure numbers and locations cannot be guaranteed. The lagoon is tidal, so swimming and water access vary through the day.
Exceptional dining, inspired by Fiji
Dining is one of Likuliku’s great pleasures.
At Fijiana, creative menus bring together local seafood, seasonal produce and house-made pasta with the rich flavours of the South Pacific. Four intimate dining spaces and an open-air terrace overlooking the lagoon make every meal feel like an occasion.
Three meals a day are included in standard resort stays, with dinner on arrival day and breakfast on departure day. Tea, filter coffee, island water and breakfast barista coffee are included; other drinks and dining supplements depend on your booking.
A special evening at Saluwaki
With just 28 seats, Saluwaki is a memorable evening in its own right: Asian-inspired small plates, ingredients from the resort gardens and surrounding waters, and an open kitchen where fire and smoke become part of the experience. Dishes arrive to share, with matched cocktails and cellar wines available to complement the menu.
One Saluwaki dinner is available during stays of three nights or more, on request and subject to availability. Reserve early; this is a once-per-stay experience.
Bars and private occasions
Watch the light change over the lagoon from Masima Bar, or settle into Dua Tale Bar before dinner. Private beachside dining and Mociu Island picnics can be arranged at an additional charge. Tell us about dietary requirements before booking and at least 48 hours before arrival; the resort does not offer room service or cater for kosher requirements.
From 1 April 2027, standard contracted stays add a complimentary minibar and the Fijiana dinner wine-pairing experience, with the pairing unavailable on Fridays. These benefits do not apply to every travel period. Your quote will confirm the inclusions for your dates, along with any compulsory festive dining supplements.
Make space to slow down
Tatadra Spa sits against the island’s green slopes, with lagoon views and a menu drawing on Fijian massage traditions and Pure Fiji products.
Book time for a treatment or simply let the day unfold between your deck, the beach and the resort pool.
Spa treatments are an additional cost unless expressly included in your confirmed package. Appointments, private dining and celebration arrangements should be requested in advance.
Island days at your own pace
Complimentary non-motorised watersports include kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, sailing and windsurfing, with snorkelling equipment also available. The gym and a programme of land-based and Fijian cultural activities offer more ways to enjoy the resort.
Ask about the na Vanua Conservation Hub and the resort’s work with Fijian crested iguanas and native habitats. Activity times, access and participation depend on the current programme and conditions.
Discover the Mamanuca Islands
Guided snorkelling excursions, diving, village visits, fishing trips and island-hopping adventures can be arranged for an additional charge. A private picnic on nearby Mociu Island makes a memorable option for two.
Water activities and transfers are subject to tides, weather, availability and operator requirements. The lagoon is a protected marine area: leave coral, shells and marine life undisturbed, and follow the team’s advice before entering the water.
From Nadi to island time
After flying into Nadi, continue to Likuliku Lagoon Resort by scheduled South Sea Cruises catamaran, private water taxi or helicopter. Boat journeys depart from Port Denarau, with a road transfer needed from the airport. A private water taxi usually takes around 40–45 minutes; scheduled catamaran journeys vary by route and island stops.
Helicopter transfers take around 10 minutes and operate in daylight, with no resort arrivals or departures before 8am. Weight and baggage limits apply. All timings are approximate and weather dependent, and transfer costs and fuel surcharges must be confirmed for your booking.
Arrival, departure and access
Check-in is from 3pm and check-out is by 11am, including split-category stays. Early access and late check-out need advance arrangements and may cost extra; meals outside the standard arrival and departure inclusions are also charged separately.
Tell us about mobility, step-free access or boarding assistance needs before booking. We will check the exact bure layout, pathways, bathrooms and transfer arrangements with the resort and operators. Do not assume that an over-water or beachfront location provides step-free access.
