Guest Reviews

Cannot speak more highly of Villa Takali, the location, the beach, the staff, the villas, the entertaining spaces, the pool — it was amazing. We went on a family trip and Villa Takali was the perfect fit for us all. Takini, Eva and Maria were the perfect hosts. The beach was beautiful for sunrise and sunset walks, the sea was very warm and the pool just topped our holiday off. Paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, golfing, supermarket and hot bread shop, and restaurants nearby, we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Villa Takali, a holiday to remember.

If you are looking for a venue for a family gathering in Fiji, this is it. I celebrated my 80th birthday there with our three daughters, two sons-in-law and seven grandchildren. It was perfect. Tukini and his staff treated us like royalty. All of our meals were served on a large round table which allowed for lots of family conversation. (And the food was outstanding, by the way.) Tukini arranged for an onsite performance by a troupe of Fijian dancers followed by a kava ceremony. He even arranged for and accompanied us on a tour of Suva, and set us up for a tubing trip on the Navua River (highly recommend it). That's service!

Villa Takili consists of a building compound, a gigantic pool and a tennis court, all just a few steps from the beach. The bedrooms are large and well appointed. The master suite is in its own separate building, and includes an outdoor spa. The villa common area features several places to simply "hang out" in beautiful surroundings. Everything is tastefully designed and well maintained.

In short, we loved everything about Villa Takali, and will never forget my birthday trip to Fiji.

I took a group of 14 friends to Villa Takali for a day trip from a Cruise Ship docked in Suva.

We were picked up by small bus at Suva dock and transferred to the outstanding Villa near Pacific Harbour.

We were welcomed by Tukini the manager and his staff holding welcome cocktails, beautifully made leis and the sounds of Fijian music wafting towards us.

As we approached to main building my friends were blown away by the beauty of the view taking in the manicured lawns, beautiful large infinity pool and beyond to the blue Pacific Ocean .

We were offered the use of the magnificent suites to change into swimming attire.

While everyone took part in the many activities available like pool swimming, ocean swimming with a beautiful white sandy beach and no need for beach shoes, Tukini and his staff prepared a fantastic buffet lunch served in the open air lounge.

After lunch some people took part in a few sets of tennis on the full size tennis court.

There was more activities to indulge in but several decided to soak up the suns rays on the comfy pool loungers.

As all good things must come to an end it was time to leave and the wonderful staff assembled to sing the beautiful but sad Isa Lei farewell song.

A fabulous day enjoyed by all at Villa Takali. A Luxury Villa but like a 5 star small resort.Perfect for a day trip but can't wait to return with our whole family for a longer holiday.

If heaven is real, it would be Villa Takali.

Located on the beach, the incredible staff had us well cared for and pampered and super relaxed right up until we curled up in our big comfortable bed in one of three separate villas each night.

Listening to the oceans gentle waves as we fall asleep every night was pure bliss.

Next morning we wanted for nothing more than lounging by the sparkling pool, fresh fruits and coffee to our liking with what ever our holiday group wished for breakfast in the sunken outdoor dining.when we were feeling adventurous, snorkeling, diving, kayaking was all easy to arrange and being it took place in in the beautiful aqua ocean that we could see from every window.

Massages in the study with the doors open, the villa grounds full of tropical greenery was a truly special and incredibly relaxing experience

White water tubing on the river was an experience of a life time and without giving too much away it will be forever in my heart.

Such an incredible place to stay to reconnect with friends and family, we can not wait to do it again. If you can stay the extra night, do it!!! I guarantee you won’t ever want to leave.

Wow… One of the most incredible villas I have ever stayed at! Words can not describe this villa!! Pure luxury and beauty everywhere you look. The villa is located within the Nanuku resort grounds (this villa is not owned by the Nanuku). 24/7 security so you feel very safe. Everything about this villa is amazing. The staff are incredible and accommodating. We opted for the private chef which was an awesome decision. As mentioned above words simply can not describe this place so I have uploaded some pictures. Seriously if you are looking to book a villa in Fiji, this is the villa to book. I can't wait to return next year!

Villa Takali is just amazing.

The location is perfect, with a private beach right at your doorstep if you feel like a swim in the ocean or a walk on the beach.

The accommodation is expansive and luxurious, with plenty of outdoor sitting areas and a glorious big pool at the centre, and best of all, you have the whole place to yourselves! 8 members of our family spent a week there - first time we had all been able to get together post-covid - and the layout allowed us to all spend time together, but each family group was also able to have some private space to relax as well.

Tukini and his team were outstanding - very warm and friendly and accommodating - nothing was too much trouble - for example, we asked for a cot, high chair, stroller and child car seat to be available for the 2 year old, and all were provided with no fuss.

We chose the fully catered option, and meals were varied, plentiful and delicious, with good wine and excellent cocktails each evening.

Housekeeping was constant but discreet and and the grounds were always immaculate.

Communications before our holiday were excellent - we were able to specify our preferences for food and drinks and sleeping arrangements in advance, so that everything was prepared and worked smoothly once we arrived.

It felt like a very personalised holiday from start to finish, with attention to detail that made everything feel comfortable, but a bit special, and exceeded expectations - these people really know how to do hospitality.

Paying up front for everything in advance was a little daunting at first, but it turned out to be the best thing - we were all able to just relax and indulge and enjoy the experience, and what we didn't use was promptly refunded afterwards.

If you are looking for a little bit of luxury in paradise, I would highly recommend Villa Takali.

We will happily return there for another holiday when we get the chance.

Brought a group of 8 here for my 70th birthday - friends from all over the U.S.

The Villa Takali is truly over the top in luxury accommodations - and this from someone who has traveled all over the world in very nice places.

In addition to the luxurious property are the over the top staff at the Villa.

Personal care and attention - and the level of anticipated need (drinks, food, etc.) rivals any 5 stay resort or hotel anywhere.

The owner, Jonathan Mitchell was always available via email for anything.

I took my family back to Villa Takali for Thanksgiving (after having spent last Christmas there) and it was even better.

This time I took my parents and sister and her kids as well - 10 of us total and it was INCREDIBLE! The staff could not have been nicer or more attentive - we got to do amazing activities and everyone was so sad to leave.

Food was amazing - the chef is first class - the accommodations couldn't be better and its the finest home we have ever stayed in - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I took my family to Fiji for my birthday and stayed at Villa Takali. We absolutely loved the place.

A beautiful building, large bedrooms, biggest swimming pool and we were really well looked after. The food was excellent.

We had a few wet days and the huge media kept the children entertained.

I thoroughly recommend this villa to people seeking a non resort holiday.

Arriving on Easter Sunday on our inaugural trip to Fiji we were blown away by the majestic Villa Takali.

From the moment we arrived until leaving our family of 5 were treated like royalty.

The service we received was as good if not better than any 5 Star hotel in the world.

Sumptuous food prepared by a Gourmet chef was served for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Our hosts went out of their way to arrange day trips such as surfing, golf, snorkelling, shopping and entertainment.

There was plenty to do at the Villa, including stand up paddle boarding, canoeing, Swimming, Tennis and a large indoor cinema for those occasional rainy days.

Our rooms were expansive with deluxe bedding and furnishings including oversized baths, outdoor jacuzzi and showers all set in lush tropical vegetation overlooking the sea.

The entire villa was amticulously maintained and our rooms serviced daily.

Thank you to the team at Villa Tikali for vastly exceeding our expectations.

My family and friends stayed at Villa Takali over Christmas and had the most incredible experience that we cannot even put it into words.

The house was incredible and it is not possible to have a better location on a better beach - way better than we expected! The staff is accommodating and incredible and rivals the excellence of the house! We all thought it was the best view of anywhere we had ever stayed and all of us including our teenage kids believe it was the best vacation we'd ever had!!!

The 2 acre double lot provides a massive ultra luxurious fortress which is all yours to enjoy.

From the entrance to every oversized room no expense was spared and you'll notice that the smallest details have been carefully thought out with one goal....the ultimate high end experience, with plush amenities that are world class.

Tukini is the concierge manager and there for every request/need having local knowledge of everything to do such as surfing, snorkelling, swimming with sharks, beach walks, zip-lining, rafting this is the place for fun and activities.Tukini is also the nicest, friendliest guy you'll meet and a real joy of warmth and you'll be close friends right from the start.

The Fijian people are among the nicest and happiest people I've ever had the pleasure to visit with.

Ben, your personal chef creates amazing gourmet meals for the family and every single meal was perfect and tasty.

The only problem with the villa was that our time there came to an end.

You'll definitely want to come back here many times and make it a regular destination. We will be back often!

Our stay at Villa Takali was absolutely amazing.

The large resort style property was perfect for our extended family of 8 adults and 7 kids with plenty of room for everyone and lots of spaces for people to chill out in private if they wanted to.

Nothing was too much trouble for Tukini and his lovely staff, they really made our stay.

And the food that the chef Ben cooked was wonderful.

In addition to the lovely, varied cuisine that we ate at each meal, he catered beautifully for the 2 birthdays that we celebrated during our stay.

The kids loved the huge pool and the spa and we all spent lots of time on the private tennis/basketball court.

The kids also loved the movie room with its massive screen and huge array of movies.

While the parents loved the private bar and Tukini's cocktails! We couldn't have asked for any more and we will definitely be back!

We had a famaily reunion based around a 50th birthday.

There were 13 of us staying in this palacial resort.

As soon as we drove up to the entrance we knew this was a class above anything else on the Island.

It was definitely a 5 star hotel experience.

The staff were so lovely, genuinely warm and welcoming and the in house Chef produced brilliant and such a varied menu every day.

We were all so relaxed every day as the location right on the secluded beach felt so peacefull and idyllic.

This modern resort, beautiful architecture using traditional structures and techniques, spacial comfortable bedrooms and massive communal rooms that opened up to the lush gardens all engendered a calm and serene experience.

Villa Takali is incredible.

Semi-private beach, huge infinity pool, palatial estate! There is a movie theatre and a wide selection of films that are also available within the rooms for when the weather is a little crummy, and more than enough room across the property for everyone to do what they like.

Staff was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond!

Our extended family of 10 stayed at Takali from Christmas through New Years.

Villa is well designed with lots of common areas and large bedrooms.

Having the large pool and beach right in front of the house was great - we practically had the whole stretch of beautiful beach to ourselves.

We loved using the tennis/basketball court every day as well.

Food was delicious and Tukini, Ala, and crew were fabulous.

Myself, my three adult children and their spouses stayed at Villa Takali for 10 days in late May.

From the time we arrived to the time we departed everything was perfect.

Tukini, Ala and the rest of the staff tended to our every need without being intrusive.

We chose the food and bar option which turned out to be delightful in every way.

I cannot say enough good things about this special place. Truly a slice of paradise.

We have already decided to book again next year. You cannot go wrong.

we were a group of 17 (6 adults and 11 children aged 11-17). this was our second time to Villa Takali and again we loved every minutre of being there.

For such a large group there was so much room, that allowed all of us to have space when needed but to be able to all come together at other times. the pool is absolutely fantastic and we could not keep the kids out. again tukini ala and all the staff were fantastic -all were very approachable and saw to our every need again i could not recommended this strongly enough to any group. the most relaxing place you could go to.

Booking online for a large group of 11 is a bit daunting.

You hope that the photos and description, live up to the expectations.

I can honestly say that Villa Takali exceeded any expectations we had.

The Fijian staff are professional yet informal, making you feel so welcome and everything seem effortless - amazing people.

The property itself is outstanding.

We stayed at Villa Takali for 8 nights in Dec 2015 to celebrate a major birthday.

We were a party of 9; 5 adults in their 50s/60s and 4 boys in their early 20s.

The compound is larger than it appears in the photos.

There were ample places to hang out together, but also enough space that people could easily find a quiet spot to relax by themselves.

All the bedrooms are are actually very spacious suites.

The master bedroom is even more impressive and like a compound within a compound.

In addition to the large bedroom, lounge area, bathroom and walk-in robe it also has an enclosed private back garden with hot tub.

We used the lounge area for massages every day.

The attention to detail in the construction and fittings is very impressive.

Clearly the owner spared no expense to create a 5-star resort that does an excellent job of blending traditional Fijian architecture with all the mod cons.

Jonathan (the owner) was very easy to deal with throughout the booking and planning process.

The sandy beach is literally steps away.

Although it is a public beach it was so quiet it was like having your own private beach.

Great snorkeling right off the beach and the villa has a couple of kayaks which we used frequently.

The huge Infinity pool was also used practically every day.

The villa includes use of a van which came in handy.

We used it multiple times, to drive to Suva, for sightseeing in the area, as well as to get to Nadi to go deep sea fishing. I recommend deep sea fishing.

I prefer flying to boats, but this was fun.

The nice thing about Fiji is you can go deep sea fishing, but still be in sight of land.

We caught several fish including three yellowfin tuna.

I’m not sure if this is specific to Fiji, but it seems that whichever boat you charter will only allow you to keep one fish.

Initially I wasn’t keen on this, but it turned out to be a non-issue.

The tuna was large enough that we were able to have a feast of fresh sashimi that evening and the next.

For my birthday the staff organized some locals to play guitar and sing for us while we had champagne and snacks prior to a traditional Fijian feast.

I also requested a meke (Fijian traditional dance performance) after dinner which was a unique and wonderful experience for everyone.

We topped it off with a kava ceremony - an “interesting” beverage.

All in all it was a memorable way to spend my birthday.

One of the few minor quibbles I had was that when we did the lovo it was raining so the outdoor part was canceled.

I presumed they were doing it somewhere under shelter, and that they would bring us over to watch how they cooked the food. However, that didn’t happen.

The food was tasty, but I was also after the experience.

We chose the full food service option and I’m very glad we did.

There was always plenty of food.

In fact, despite having four young males with healthy appetites, there was never a day when we were able to finish everything.

I think this may have something to do with the Fijian culture of sharing; to cook extra so that the staff can also partake.

The food was tasty, healthy and there was a lot of variety.

The seafood was, of course, fantastic.

I wrote to the chef before we left to discuss the menu.

The staff were also very accommodating with on-the-fly changes and requests.

The villa is located between Nadi and Suva.

It is a quiet area, which suited us as my goal was to rent a place where we could enjoy each other’s company and nature.

The only downside was a few bugs, but unfortunately that goes with the territory in any tropical location.

Finally, a shout out to Tukini, Ala (his wife) and the entire staff who looked after us.

Fijians are renowned for their friendliness and the staff at Villa Takali are great ambassadors for their country.

A special commendation to Ala who has a wonderful personality and just does a fantastic job.

She is also an excellent singer! Overall, great value and a very memorable vacation.

Words and photos can never do real justice to this paradise.

From the moment you step into the entrance ( which will blow you away ) to Villa Takali you will be totally spellbound by the size and design of the complex .

The owners have obviously travelled extensively , and this is reflected by the design, furniture, fittings.

We stayed at Villa Takali for ten days in a large family group, ages 3 - 80.

The house is outstanding, with luxurious attention to detail, and has something for everyone - an infinity pool, tennis court, hot tub, movie theater, library and study, with a magnificent beach reaching to the lawn. Truly, a wonderful place.

An excellent staff of about eight took care of our every need, including special diet requirements, with kindness and care - they also provided baby-sitting as needed.

We are grateful to the owner for a stay that surpassed all our hopes, and for having helped make our family vacation a huge success.

We stayed at villa Takali with our family and had a wonderful relaxing time. takali is a very enjoyable place for all the family there are so many things you can do to fill in your time right there at the villa.

We went and purchased some fishing rods and spent a lot of time fishing of the beach and small reef out the front of the villa and weren't short of a catch.

The children even had the fish cooked up by the chef for dinner.

There is so much sea life for the children to catch a explore like hermit crabs and starfish.

Takali is big enough for everyone to have some of there own space and there is no shortage of areas for your group to sit relax and enjoy a cocktail or two …

We like going and sitting at the outdoor bar in the afternoon and having a surprise cocktail of the day.

The staff at Takali are such warm and friendly people that you won't want to leave.

We had no trouble filling up out 3 weeks at the villa and would recommend it to all.

Just exquisite...What a fantastic experience we had at Villa Takali last week.

The attention to detail in everything is 1st class.

This is not your normal Fijian Island holiday.

Yes you get an amazing pool which unbelievably is even better than it looks in the website photos, Yes the beach is beautiful and clean, Yes you are surrounded by the warmth and friendliness of the Fijian locals and Yes there is no better place that we've ever seen (and we have travelled a lot) to simply chill out and relax in pure luxury and utter beauty.

Every detail has been thought of here.

I was told that the owner designed this to contain the best of the best luxury villas and boutique hotels they had stayed in globally.

This has been done perfectly with no short cuts anywhere.

All the rooms are wonderfully designed.

The quality and comfort of all furnishings are equivalent to a 5 star hotel.

Beds and all lounging areas (and there are a lot of these) are extremely comfortable.

Then there is the movie room (which is no ordinary movie room), the tennis court, the great fully stocked private bar complete with an experienced barman and even a quiet private office if required. The list just goes on and on. But the FOOD...WOW...that really was something none of us expected.

We decided to take the full food service option and what a great choice we made.

We felt like we were eating at a world class restaurant each breakfast lunch and dinner.

We ate down on the private beach as well outside on undercover round table complete with its central rotating tray.

The Chefs were just amazing and there is no need to even think about going anywhere else for any meal as the best of the best gets served to you at the villa.

We ate so many different foods that its too hard to write down but will give you an idea …

Degustation is a "must do" with 5 or 6 courses each so impeccably prepared and crafted.

Then there are the sensational a la carte options. Favourite dishes...all of them....standouts: Panko and Nori Tuna Sashimi , Half Lobster Tail with mudcrab & lemon beurre blanc, Rare Beef Salad with truffle oil, Duck Confit with seared scallops and Grilled Sesame Tuna with choi-sum and papaya salad.

For dessert do not miss out on the Baked Caramel Cheesecake with banana compote and chocolate sauce or the amazing Fiji Vanilla Crème Brulee.

All in all we felt we got double the luxury for half the price of any of the high end Fijian resorts.

Thank you Villa Takali – we will definitely be coming back (have already booked actually!!)

Our stay at Villa Takali was quite simply AMAZING.

We went with two other families with 9 children (aged 3-13) between us and it comfortably housed us all in utmost luxury.

The villa is very spacious allowing so many different options that everyone was continually occupied and therefore happy (tennis, hot tub, reading on the extra large sun loungers, indoor cinema -with an incredible amount of downloaded films and series t, escaping for quiet time in one of the two private courtyards, paddle boarding to the reef or walking on the 1.5km stretch of secluded beach) It is stylishly furnished whilst still feeling very homely.

The staff, lead by the wonderful warm and friendly Tukini - (who incidentally makes the most fantastic cocktails), could not do enough for us.

In our 9 day stay they organised a Lovo (traditional Fijian underground BBQ) Kava ceremony, a meke (Traditional Fijian dance), bonfires on the beach to toast marshmallows, in house massages , hair braiding for the girls, and even organised for the boys to watch the local rugby team training which certainly was a highlight for my son! We also hosted my daughter's birthday and they were so accommodating helping decorate the villa and ensuring it was a day she would never forget.

This is an incredibly happy place with special people and stunning sunrises.

I can't recommend highly enough, Vinaka vaka levu Villa Takali ,,,, we hope to see you again very soon!

What a spectacular Villa! Large, spacious, luxurious, and stunning.

Supported by a typically Fijian warm, friendly and attentive staff.

I’ve never seen anything like it! The perfect setting for our family holiday.

Enough activities on the doorstep (such as tennis, diving, golf) for the active, balanced with enough relaxation options.

My personal highlights included relaxing on the hammock listening to the waves; the traditional Lovo meal (prepared in a cover pit with hot rocks); the amazing home cinema room; the shark diving trip; the warrior dancers (called Meke) who put on a show at the Villa; toasting marshmallows by beach bonfire; dinners under the stars at the table on the sand; paddle boarding to the mini reef off the beach for snorkelling; lazing in/ around the impressive infinity pool; and, a cocktail or two mixed by the charismatic and talented Villa Manager Tukini.

This is comfortably the best place I’ve ever seen, let alone stayed. Thoroughly recommended.

Villa Takali is one of the best resort villas I have ever stayed at.

On arrival at Villa Takali Fiji, Tukini, the manager, greeted us and we were offered a tour of the facilities.

There are four separate suites, one master suite, a two story Villa with a second floor suite above a ground floor suite, both with private entrances and a suite above the main living area with a great view of the whole villa and beautiful beach beyond.

The other features were the large infinity pool, office, library, large cinema room, bunk room for the children, sunken dinning area, internal lounge, external lounge, grand day bed under cover, external and internal quality sound system, dinning room and a flood lit tennis court.

We settled in that night after a refreshing tropical drink prepared by Tukini as we met some of the other staff.

We woke up to a beautiful (25 c /80 f) day after a relaxing night on an extremely comfortable bed.

The rooms are tranquil and spacious with luxury fittings, satellite TV as well as a huge range of recorded movies and television series available.

All of the rooms were very well appointed and it is one of the best floor plans I have seen for a grand villa of this size, as views from each room were fabulous.

The room we stayed in opened up at the front and sides, with the glass doors folding back and we felt like we were sleeping under the stars.

After three days we felt well rested and had recuperated from the stresses of work.

We were well looked after by the staff, who were discrete and wonderfully engaging.

We had breakfast served to us in the sunken dinning area each morning, cooked to our request with the option of the SPECIAL of the day, such as Eggs Benedict.

The food was great and I would strongly recommend that you ask the chef to cook you the curry, as it was truly fabulous.

On day four, I booked in for a dive with a scuba diving company located about 2 minutes down the road just opposite the golf course.

It’s run by the locals who pay a nominal fee to the local tribe who have guardianship over the reef where we were diving.

I booked in to do the “BAD SHARK” dive (Beqa Adventure Divers).

No cages, just diving with a small group amongst the Bull sharks.

We were swimming down to 30 meters to be with about 30 to 40 sharks.

Some of the female sharks were up to 3.5 meters long.

We were no more than a meter away from the sharks as the dive master fed them with tuna heads from a large plastic bin they had lowered down with them.

If you have a diving license, it is a must, as this was the best dive I have ever done in my 30 years of diving.

The beach at the front of Villa Takali is perfect for all types of water activities or just for a quick dip following a long walk.

The infinity pool is fabulous for just cooling off and I used it for long swims to get a few decent laps in.

We looked in at the master bedroom, which was very open plan and about twice the size of our room, which was generous enough.

The spa pool was located behind the villa for the master bedroom, enclosed in the privacy of the high stone wall.

A nighttime relax in the spa with a drink was the perfect place to be before dining at the outside table in the sand area.

This was a peaceful setting with the surrounding torches on, sitting at the large table just below the infinity pool. A perfect end to a perfect day.

In our suite, we had our own day bed in the private courtyard and an outside shower which we took advantage of regularly.

After a night out for dinner and dancing, we returned to the villa, and the entranceway at night was stunning.

The shallow pools down both sides of the walkway were illuminated by ornate feature lighting giving a feeling of grandeur and space to the entrance.

The local Fijian touches were wonderfully tasteful, as was the Magimagi, the local decorative rope work from coconut fibre on the timber poles.

It had a wonderful balance between the Fijian feel with the high quality of many of the luxury resorts I have stayed in.

We have stayed in many of the resorts on the main island and many of the smaller boutique island resorts.

Villa Takali has the quiet feel of a small island resort with all the advantages of being on the main island.

I would recommend Villa Takali to anyone who is visiting Fiji.

Villa Takali offers everything necessary for a relaxing, luxurious holiday near Pacifc Harbour Fiji.

A gracious, yet comfortable residence that is subtle and sophisticated but at no time intimidating to guests.

Tukini and Iva and their assistants were there to meet all our needs but remained discreetly in the background enabling us to relax and soak up the surroundings on offer.

Our mornings began with us sliding open the doors to our spacious lounge and bedroom and then walking along the deserted beach, before a breakfast of local fresh fruit decorated with the wonderful flowers from the Villa garden.

We were reminded each day that this is truly paradise.

The pool, a 25 metre infinity pool is stunning whether using it to swim and relax or as a backdrop to the gorgeous reflections especially in the early morning and evenings.

There are outdoor loungers and dining areas spaced around the property which enabled us to move depending on how much sun we required throughout the day.

A supermarket and fruit/veggie stalls are quite close by and the local people very friendly.

We also thoroughly enjoyed the very cool jazz and blues at Baka Blues, a New Orleans style bar and eatery just along the road.

An extremely well equipped kitchen meant it was so easy to prepare and present our meals.

This is definitely 5 star plus luxury at its best and we loved every minute of our time there.

WOW! Is what we felt as we drove in the drive to Villa Takali.

The ambience we experienced as we stepped out of the taxi was outstanding.

It feels more like your own private resort than a villa.

The welcoming smile of the manager Tukini and head housekeeper Iva made us feel truly at ease right from the start, and we knew we were going to love this 5 star villa.

Each of the bedrooms is a large suite with bathrooms to die for.

Some with outdoor showers as well.

Every detail has been expertly designed to give luxury and elegance.

Sitting in the outdoor lounge sipping a glass of champagne and gazing across the 25m infinity pool..

We knew we were going to love our 10 day stay.

The walks along the secluded beach each morning were divine and unlike many beaches in Fiji, this one has a smooth sandy bottom with no sharp rocks to stub your toes on.

We self catered in the dream kitchen which was just perfect for our families but I think you can request a chef to do this for you if you wish.

There is a supermarket, wine shop, and fruit and vegetable stalls just along the road, so everything is very handy. Can't wait to return next year.

Only worry is when this beautiful Villa in the South Pacific gets discovered we might find it difficult to get reservations. Vinaka Vakalevu Takali.

It’s difficult to describe the excellence of Villa Takali.

I am a retired United States Secret Service Agent.

I have visited, worked and stayed at luxury private residences around the world with presidents, kings, queens and prime ministers.

Throughout my entire 24-year career with secret service, I have never been to a more luxuriously calming residence resort than Villa Takali.

Waking to the gentle rhythm of the waves from your oceanfront suite restores your youthful vitality and awakens your childhood curiosity for exploration.

Making fresh footprints in the sand each morning with no human beings in sight, gives you the feeling of pioneering in the serenity of an undiscovered island.

With the sun as your clock, days drift by at the 25-meter oceanfront infinity pool, built for as much relaxation or as much exercise as your heart desires.

Bask in the tropical sun poolside or just below the pool on the ocean side, on your own isolated white sand beach.

Tennis and basketball are also options, due to the state-of-the-art full sports court, always available during the day and lighted at night.

Evenings are a good time to gather with family and friends at the outdoor circular, swiveling, dining table under a thatched roof.

This table is large enough to seat 16 companions and small enough to host all of their conversations with one another.

After dinner, you can move to the private theater and enjoy over 1,000 movies and shows in royalty comfort.

Or, you can toss back some cocktails and/or the local anesthetic, grog, made from sun-dried kava roots.

Just relax and listen to joyful days-end conversations in the outdoor living room, while watching the moon’s reflection on the pool and ocean, as it rises over smooth seas and dimly outlines the islands just across the way.

Finally you retire to the opulence of your private suite, decorated with hand-made furniture where you can enjoy your flat screen TV (which also has all of the movies and shows), a king size bed and granite bathroom with sunken tub and separate large shower with multiple nozzles including overhead rain shower.

This is the perfect ending to a perfect day, everyday.

I highly recommend experiencing Life As It Should Be, Villa Takali.

This villa is the epitome of Luxury.

I spent a week here with my family and what really caught my attention was the detail envisioned and executed in the finishing of this masterpiece .

The perfectly placed speakers, the plush 3D theatre room, the library, the pool, the outside teppanyaki bar, the private spa bath .......the list is endless .

And all perfectly packaged by host Tukini and house keeper Iva .

Furthermore all in close proximity to surfing Beqa reefs and the shark dive and zip lining and rafting …

I really cannot say enough about this amazing little gem on the shores of Loloma beach . 5*z from every angle ! Vinaka Takali see you again in January !!!
