ecognized world wide as the site of both the “Blue Lagoon” films, this 5 Star resort is designed for couples who enjoy romantic picnics for two, intimate moonlit dinners at seaside, horseback riding at dawn, or relaxing and sensual massages. Although Turtle only accommodates 14 couples at any given time, there is a staff of over 150 people on the island to provide guests with an experience of a lifetime. Since it's opening in 1980, Turtle Island has been hailed as one of Fiji's (and the world's) finest resorts. 

our personal guide to the island will be your Bure Manager, assigned on your arrival for the duration of your stay.  Aside from housekeeping and laundry duties, your Bure Manager will interact with you in many other ways.  If you like, they may accompany you on a snorkeling tour, helping to identify Fiji’s diverse marine inhabitants, or join you on a tour of the island.  They can help you choose a private beach for your picnic, assist in the set up, and return at the end of the picnic to help pack up.  With your consent, your Bure Manager will document your stay at Turtle Island with both movie and still cameras, providing you with a complimentary DVD and complete photo album on your departure.  Needless to say, the relationships forged between guests and their Bure Managers can be exceptionally rewarding.  The Bure Managers have received the nickname "Bure Mamas" because of their loving care to their guests... Also on your first day your Bula Buddy will make your acquaintance. In the process of getting to know each other, your Bula Buddy will make notes about your likes and desires for your stay. For instance, if you mention a love of snorkeling, you will mysteriously find snorkeling gear in your bure!  Your Bula Buddy is there to take care of all your adventurous desires.

here are 14 incredible white sandy beaches on the island, and you can schedule private picnics on 8 of them. Choose your picnic setting from naturally occurring palm fringed beaches, some adjacent to the living and dining areas, or totally secluded, bounded by high cliffs or set within a cove. Couples can reserve a beach for the day and enjoy a romantic picnic where a luncheon of lobster and champagne  (or anything you prefer), will be dropped off. (A seven night package on Turtle includes at least 2 private beach picnics.)  These pleasures are enhanced by the warmth and gracious pampering of Turtle's Fijian staff

njoy the ultimate romantic picnic on the private dining raft in the lagoon at sunset.  The food is superb, and the memories inspired by ribbons of rose, gold, and amethyst reflected in the water-from the tropical sky will last a lifetime.  Evening Dinner Parties are served in a variety of locations with cocktails at 7:30 pm and dinner at 8:00 pm. The chef and serenaders will visit your bure starting at number one a little before 7 pm to inform you of the choices and delights that await you for the evening meal.  If you would prefer smaller portions, please advise our chef. Alternatively, if you are feeling particularly hungry, just let us know. Either way, we are happy to oblige. Our chefs cater to any special dietary requirements such as low fat, Pritikin, gluten-free, vegetarian-- all you have to do is let us know!

urtle’s version of "Room Service"--  No matter where you are on the island you can make requests for beverages, snacks or whatever just by calling the "Docklady", and your desires are fulfilled.  Docklady sits in the open-sided bure at the beach end of the dock or you may contact her using the two-way radio you will find in your bure upon your arrival.

We came for our wedding and fell in love all over again. Everyone from the staff to the guests made our trip the most memorable experience we have ever had.

Diana and Dean Banks - Australia, December, 2007 Once again you have made our stay absolutely heaven. Thank you so much to our Turtle family, we love all of you. Sand between our toes, champagne and great friends - it just doesn't get any better than this. See you next year. Elvin and Rhonda Hamlin - Hilo, Hawaii, November, 2007 Once again, we will never find a place on earth as beautiful as Turtle or the staff as wonderful. That is why we return year after year - until we meet again - be well. Tom and Karen Ditchey - Clancy UT USA  November, 2007 Our trip was all we imagined and more. We had only been there 24 hours and we were already planning our next trip to the island. It exceeded our expectations in every way. The staff were wonderful, the food and wine was all 5 star, the scuba diving was unbelievable, and the accommodations were perfect. We also met many new friends on the island and we're already making plans to meet up again soon. Gary and Katherine Scherping, August 2007 Vinaka! Thank you so much for making our holiday amazing. Turtle Island really is one of a kind. Until next time... Katie and Steve Lang - Wellington, New Zealand, July 2007 I find it hard to come up with enough words to describe our week’s stay on Turtle Island. From the moment, we stepped off the seaplane, we were in love with the Island.  My husband and I considered this the vacation of a lifetime.  Chris and Beth Nemchik

Fiji is world-renowned for the fantastic beauty of its underwater environment. Tropical fish flash through a blue heaven of ocean and castles of roseate coral, which has the finest soft corals in the world. With sightings as diverse as nudibranchs to lionfish, and octopus to stingrays, your time spent underwater will leave lasting memories.  Virgin reefs and superb visibility, along with hundreds of species of fish are to be found only a 10-minute boat ride from Turtle.  (Diving activities are provided through Westside Watersports.)
