Bures (14)
The elevated global style punctuated with island-found treasures and Fijian arts create a distinctive and inviting abode. Artisan crafted furnishings from trees and driftwood. Vaulted ceilings woven from palms and knotted with coconut husk cordage known as magi magi. Textiles inspired by tribal graphics and pops of color from jungles and reefs. Your villa is an escape and digital detox from the pace and pressures of the modern world – a place where your heart beats to the rhythm of the island.
So you come to know the Fijian way of life, your personal Bure Mama will look after you, ensuring you have everything you desire. She will unpack your bags that you packed for Fiji, tidies your villa, handles your laundry, and arranges picnics and dine-outs. If you like, she guides you on island tours, and even accompanies you on snorkeling excursions pointing out marine life. In the evening, she’ll join you around the kava bowl for storytelling and songs. Experiencing the joy and culture of Fiji will touch your heart forever.
Diving
Discover a diver’s haven in the heart of the renowned “Soft Coral Capital of the World” – Fiji. Turtle Island, nestled in the pristine waters of the Yasawa Islands, provides a perfect base to explore this underwater paradise, home to unparalleled marine biodiversity with around 1,000 species of fish and several hundred varieties of corals and sponges. Embark on a journey through virgin reefs untouched by time, and immerse yourself in waters renowned for their crystal-clear visibility. Here, a vibrant array of sea life — including an incredible variety of fish, cephalopods, turtles, coral and plant life — awaits to turn each dive into a unique experience. We offer a complimentary one-tank dive daily (excluding Sunday) for all our certified guests, so be sure to bring proof of certification.
The PADI certified dive operator, Vertical Blue, will look after all your diving needs. They not only equip you with everything from regulators to wetsuits but also offer expert guidance to ensure a safe and enjoyable diving experience, no matter your level of expertise. With Fiji’s consistently warm waters, ranging between 27-30°C (75-80°F) year-round, any day is the perfect day to dive into this vibrant underwater world.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling can be enjoyed almost anywhere on the island – from right off your doorstep, to the main beach, to a multitude of other incredible reefs that encircle the island. Explore alone, or join one of our Fijian guides for local knowledge.
In the tranquil waters of the Blue Lagoon, living coral reefs of vibrant blue, green, and yellow ring Turtle Island and are home to fascinating fish, from lion fish to angel fish to butterfly fish. You can swim amongst spectacular ocean life, including squid, octopi, sea cucumbers, rays, crabs, and—of course—green or hawksbill turtles.
Mountain Biking
Mountain bike around the island. Paths lead into the spectacular tropical forest of raintree, tavola, Noko Noko and mahogany.
Choose a leisurely ride to one of the private beaches or push yourself a little further to the top of Mount Ford to enjoy incredible views of Turtle Island, the Blue Lagoon and our neighbors in the Yasawas chain of islands. The trails around Turtle Island are marked by delicate red hibiscus which is a beautiful reminder that you are on the right track.
Turtle Conservation
Turtle Island is a very special place, as are the sea turtles that make their home and fragile nests on our shores. As a result of being spectacularly beautiful and tasty creatures, endangered sea turtles are sadly hunted. We save the lives of sea turtles in the Yasawas, our chain of islands, with our Turtle Conservation program in partnership with World Wildlife Fund.
In the Yasawas, local fishermen bring sea turtles to Turtle. We tag the turtles and release them back to the sea. Sharing with guests our knowledge of turtle conservation and witnessing a strengthening of the sea turtle population in the Yasawas is one of the greatest pleasures and proudest accomplishments.
