Thrills, romance, adventure and relaxation – you will have your pick of unforgettable memories in Fiji, the island paradise of the Pacific. Your base of operations here is the stylish south-shore vacation haven known as The Pearl South Pacific, located on the longest stretch of sandy beach just outside Deuba.
No one will blame you if you choose to spend most of your holiday not straying far from the resort. You have access to a championship-level 72-par, 18-hole golf course, The Country Club, designed by none other than Robert Trent Jr. Watch out for the intertwining canals that serve as traps on its long holes. Al fresco decks above the 18th green provide café-style dining and panoramic view.
Down by the ocean near the Qaraniquio River, a natural amphitheater creates the perfect venue for a Sunday beach barbeque. Fiji’s top musicians will serenade you as you sip cocktails and dine at the Beach Bar. Or you can laze by the pool and order breakfast, lunch or dinner from The Bistro restaurant closer to your room.
Each Garden Twin affords a beautiful view from its private balcony, furnished with patio furniture. Your room will have two double beds, a marble bathroom with walk-in shower, tea/coffee-making appliances, and satellite television with in-house movies. High-speed Internet is also available.
At the Bega Lagoon, you will find some of the best snorkeling and scuba-diving in the islands. Sign up for the famous shark dive, or try game fishing, surfing, whitewater rafting and a zip-line experience nearby.
One great opportunity is a half-day of sea kayaking near the mouth of the Deuba River. You can explore the coastline’s mangrove forests and look for herons, harrier hawks and kingfishers above the azure water line, as well as coral reefs, colorful tropical fish and mud lobsters below.
You may want to try a banana boat ride, a jet skiing safari, or a diving trip to Frigate’s Passage organized by the resort. Windsurfing, volleyball and bicycle rentals are also available.
As a boutique resort with only 78 rooms and six penthouse suites, The Pearl South Pacific takes great pride in its hospitality and first-class service. Put the concierge to the test with requests for a couple of hours at the new Pearl Day Spa. And make sure to book a table at the resort’s Mantarae restaurant. It will afford you a 270-degree view of the South Pacific as well as scenic views of Beqa Island. Contemporary fusion-style cuisine is the specialty, featuring fresh local seafood an extensive wine list.
