Nestled within 150 acres of coconut plantation all 18 bures of Koro Sun Resort overlook the ocean and reefs to the south of Vanua Levu.  Each bure conjures romantic images as the smell of frangipani flowers and fresh ginger permeates the air and foot bridges cross over brooks on the well manicured grounds.   All Bures feature custom mini-bars, air conditioning and ceiling fans, king-size beds, hair dryers and toiletries, and coffee/tea facilities. Telephones and televisions are mercifully absent.

The 8 Garden bures are surrounded by lush tropical gardens and picket fences, and are perfect for couples.  They have one king bed, and romantic outdoor stone showers. Each garden bure has its own fenced-in private yard.   Perched on the hillside above the garden bures, the 5 Hillside bures have private screened-in porches, a king bed and a day bed, and comfortably accommodate up to 3 people.  There are 3 Greenside bure suites with 2 separate bedrooms that can accommodate up to 6 guests.   Each bedroom has one king-size bed (one can be split to two twin-size beds), and between the 2 bedrooms are the living room with 2 day beds and bathroom. Each of these bures has a private screened-in porch. The Hillside 2-bedroom/2-bath bure is the largest bure at the resort and can also accommodate up to 6 guests. It has 2 separate bedrooms, each with 1 king bed (one can be split to two twin-size beds). Each bedroom has its own private screened-in porch. Between the two bedrooms is a living room area which has 2 day beds. One bedroom has a bathroom with shower only; the other bedroom has another bathroom with a tub/shower combination.

 Beaches! Choose from several superb beach options at Koro Sun.  The lagoon beach is perfect for relaxing, and boasts good snorkeling just minutes from shore.  Fijian shade cabanas at the marina beach afford a view of the dive shop, kayak area and the Koro Sea.  The lush jetty of land connected to the marina has a view of the Lotu island beach and ocean beyond.  Have a picnic prepared by the chef and take a sea kayak out to the Lotu Island beach - just a 5 minute paddle to your own private island. 

‘Nirvana’ is how you will describe any of the treatments offered in the Rainforest Spa™. Surrounded by the sights, the sounds and the sweet scent of the rain forest, soothing waterfalls and streams drain away stress and tension.  Therapists are trained in Swedish, Deep Tissue and many other specialties. Try a Couples Massage with your partner or friend, or have two therapists work on you at the same time!  Treatments are as varied as the techniques employed – choose from massages, body wraps, facial scrubs, foot baths and much more. 

Activities at Koro Sun abound.  Of course there’s great diving and snorkeling, but don’t forget to save some time for kayak treks, village visits, waterfall and rain forest treks, or golf!  Meke shows are regularly performed and the kava bowl naturally has a place of prominence.  The Koro Kids Club (inclusive in the resort tariff) operates daily from 8-5 with supervised programs and activities that emphasize teaching Fiji’s ecology, marine biology, and culture.

Koro Sun Ltd. expects to complete a substantial upgrade and improvement to its marina area within the next three months (project completion to be early November 2005). Approximately 13 boat slips (able to handle vessels up to 30+ feet in length. These slips will include water and power availability.

Construction is expected to begin soon on Latitude 17 (destined to become one of Fiji’s finest 5-Star resorts) and is expected to take less than 18 months to complete.  Architectural facility designs, tropical garden layout & designs; complete with private walkways; sanctuaries and ocean access for each pavilion, have all been completed and are ready for development. Koro Sun Ltd is awaiting the final stamp of approval for the remaining documents to begin making this a reality.
