Turtle Island, Fiji: An Island Paradise, Where Love & Nature Flourish
|
During your stay on Turtle Island, home will be one of only 14 "bures," traditional, two room, thatched cottages built by Fijian craftsmen. Each is spacious, comfortable and filled with light. Hand woven 21-foot vaulted ceilings arch over the wheat colored walls and mellow wood floors. Each luxurious bure provides separate sleeping, dressing and bathing areas with furnishings all handmade by Fijian craftsmen using materials gleaned from the island.
The island is blessed with fourteen powdery, white sand beaches. Some are adjacent to the living and dining areas, while some are perfectly isolated, surrounded by high cliffs or set within a cove. Your time on Turtle Island is your own, whether you wish to stroll the beaches, wade in the pristine waters, cruise on one of our sailboats, don snorkel gear and go eye-to-eye with a green or hawksbill turtle, or scuba with your own guide escorting you throughout the turquoise waters. The Blue Lagoon is as clear as blown glass and offers spectacular displays and diversions. Living coral reefs of blue, green and yellow, called "fringing reefs," ring the island and are home to colorful galaxies of fish, from lion to angel to butterfly fish. Squid and octopi live here too, as well as sea cucumbers, rays and crabs. On soft, star-studded nights, the breezes carry the tropical scent of the island down to the sea's edge and the waves turn green-gold with bioluminescence.
Because of the environmental fragility of the island and our commitment to sustainability, access and use of the island will always be limited to only fourteen couples. Arrangements are in place to ensure preservation of the island's wildlife and natural habitats, and the integrity of Fijian culture. A road, built with care through the underbrush to preserve the natural environment, encircles the island. Other paths, built primarily to access the reservoir, provide guests with picturesque views of the island while maintaining the integrity of the land.
Through an intensive reforestation program, over 500,000 trees, including over 100,000 mahogany, have been planted on the island in the last thirty years. The trees encourage ecological diversity, re-establish indigenous forests, prevent soil erosion, and create windbreaks. Turtle's three-acre organic garden provides the island with fresh fruits and vegetables, herbs and spices.
