Guests can enjoy optimum relaxation and tranquillity, lazing on their double daybed, sipping a cocktail in their personal pool, witnessing the most breath- taking sunset, or stargazing from their unique tropical outdoor shower. Beautiful food is part of every stay at Tokoriki. Guests can enjoy changing South Pacific- and Asian-influenced menus which feature local and imported produce, either under the palm trees, on a romantic oceanfront deck, or during a special evening of ‘Teppanyaki’ at the award-winning Oishii restaurant. Oishii serves Japanese teppanyaki-style cuisine in a traditional Fijian bure surrounded by tropical gardens and lily ponds. It is a dining experience to be savoured, not rushed, and complemented by high-quality wines from all over the globe. Part of the allure is to watch the chef’s knife and cooking skills while dinner is being prepared. Fiji is famous for being the happiest place on earth and it is rich with tradition and history. The wonderfully charming Tokoriki team will help guests appreciate the local culture during their stay. And there is so much to do: energise with tennis, explore island plants with ancient healing properties on a guided nature walk, visit the nearby local Yanuya island village, experience the traditional kava ceremony, meet the Fijian ladies at the handicraft beach markets, and receive a hearty welcome from the primary school students. Dive the clear Fiji waters with the Padi team or simply snorkel the stunning house reefs, go kayaking, island hop, escape on a four-hour secluded island picnic, relax poolside with a cocktail, or unwind with a sensational spa retreat.

Tania M. shared her experience of Tokoriki Island Resort through a five-star TripAdvisor review: “There are not enough words to describe how beautiful this resort is. From the very beginning when the staff welcomed us to the island, to the very end, they remembered our names and greeted us each time we’d walk by. Our villa with the private pool was just exquisite and we enjoyed watching the sun set directly across from it each night. The dinner buffet on a Wednesday is something else! The fresh sushi was a personal highlight of ours. “The spa and couples massage was a dream come true and the hike up to the top of the hill is worth a visit too. It really was the best start to our honeymoon and is definitely worth every penny.” Company: Tokoriki Island Resort Contact: Patrice Belle Email:
