The house
IHGVillage-style golf resort
Low-rise pavilions cluster like a traditional Fijian village between the fairways and the sand of Natadola Bay.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
A 35-acre bayfront estate framed by palm groves and 18-hole championship fairways.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The accommodations themselves start out at a princely 678 square feet, with generous balcony lounge space, complete with oversized soaking tubs — open to the air, but screened in for privacy.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Natadola's white-sand beach curves along the bay, protected by an outer reef with dive sites right offshore.

The rooms
Deep Cleopatra tubs sit on balconies screened for privacy. On the beachfront, suites open yards from the sand.
The pools and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A hilltop infinity pool looks out across the bay, and the 24-hour gym opens onto tropical gardens.
The spa
Therapists practice traditional Fijian bobo bodywork with garden herbs, and massages take place in thatched cabanas along the beach.
At the table
Navo serves fresh lobster kokoda beside the lagoon, and sunset brings a torch-lighting ceremony to the beach lounge.
How it began
DBI Architects planned the estate so that no building rises taller than the surrounding coconut palms.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
