One of the world’s best beaches is now home to a luxury resort; opening on 1st June 20009, the InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa on Natadola Beach will be the pride of Fiji’s Coral Coast. Spread across 35 acres of tropical gardens, InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa is the sole destination resort on Natadola Beach – the only stretch of natural, white sand beach on the main island of Fiji, Viti Levu. Protected by a reef to create an aqua-blue ocean facing lagoon, Natadola Beach was voted by Forbes Magazine in 2008 as one of the 25 best beaches in the world.
The resort’s 216 rooms and suites all have a private terrace or balcony featuring a Cleopatra-style tub and day beds for two, and a BOSE surround sound system, with contemporary interiors creating the understated elegance of an InterContinental resort. There are four swimming pools (including an adult-only infinity-edged pool, and a 105-metre family activity pool), an on-site dive centre, a recreation and beach activities centre, volleyball, Pétanque lawn, yoga deck, Meke entertainment lawn for indigenous and cultural shows, a full gym and fitness centre, and on-site shopping and tour facilities. And there are will be no less than five restaurants and bars, offering locally-inspired and international cuisines and ever-changing menus to take best advantage of the freshest local produce on any given day.
Nestled among water features and aromatic gardens, the purpose-built spa provides a haven of relaxation. And for those who’d sooner be active than be pampered, the Natadola Bay par 72, 7,000 yard Golf Course is opening alongside the resort and will be the country’s first international competition standard course.
