Turtle Island

Turtle Island is everything I could ever have imagined and asked for in a trip to Fiji. From the second we arrived by ferry and walked down the pier, we knew we were in Paradise. The first thing that we noticed was the singing that greeted us. The harmonies were beautiful. The staff sing all the time! We had many opportunities to hear those lovely voices, whether it was at breakfast, lunch, dinner, or in between. We loved our beautiful bure and Mama Elle so much, that we have booked a return trip for our 20th anniversary. We requested the same bure and the same Mama. All of the staff - our new family - made our stay so memorable...Mama Elle, Bill, Bai, Sai, Maggy, Vi, Tevita, Sava, Erami, everybody! The food was wonderful, the water the color blue you want to see in a lovely tropical island, the white sandy beaches, the snorkeling, candlelit dinners on the beach, the music, the sunset cocktail parties on the beach...I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful place. We have booked a return trip. It is a gorgeous island, but it is the people who are drawing us back "home."

A seriously good place for couples to relax and find themselves. Also a great place to meet other likeminded people from around the world if desired. Good food, great staff and very pleasant accommodation. A very relaxing time.

Turtle Island is more than just a destination — it’s a feeling. I proposed to Esmeralda here, surrounded by turquoise waters and white sand that feels like powder. She said yes! 💍 And in that moment, we knew this island would forever be part of our story. From the instant we arrived, the incredible staff made us feel like family. Their warmth, laughter, and genuine care turned every day into something special. They didn’t just serve us — they connected with us, remembered our names, and made us feel completely at home in paradise. We had our own Bure Mama (Laveti) who looked after every need we had. The food was absolutely outstanding — every meal was a masterpiece. Fresh, local ingredients, perfectly cooked seafood, and flavors that could rival any five-star restaurant. Dining under the stars with the ocean breeze and Fijian music in the background was simply unforgettable. Turtle Island is breathtakingly beautiful — the turquoise lagoons, lush gardens, and soft white beaches are like something out of a dream. But what makes it truly magical is the people. Their kindness, joy, and heart make this place feel alive. We left Turtle Island with full hearts, full stomachs, and a lifetime memory. It’s not just a resort — it’s a home you’ll dream of returning to. We are very happy we chose this place for our special moment.

The best vacation we have ever taken! We were celebrating Michelle’s birthday and our 25th wedding anniversary. You are truly part of the family when you visit Turtle Island. From the moment you arrive, the entire staff know you by name. Our Bure was huge, clean and super comfortable. It was nice to relax in the in room jacuzzi after an afternoon at the beach. The snorkeling is spectacular and we enjoyed several of the private beaches throughout the week. There are plenty of activities of you like to stay active. Kayaking, paddle boarding, line fishing, deep sea fishing, crab hunts, mountain biking, archery, horseback riding. Even a trip to a neighboring village. The Bures are very private and quiet. Another highlight of the trip was the nightly Kava with the staff and the other guests. The best part of the whole experience was the people. The staff are all incredibly friendly, positive and full of joy. It is infectious and while sad to go when the trip is over, you leave feeling full of joy and hope. An absolutely wonderful experience from the time we stepped off the plane, were greeted by the staff, and taken to the seaplane port. To the incredible welcome once at the island and the non-stop joy and hospitality while we were there. It was an unforgettable experience and we will definitely be back again in the future.

Bula!!! A lifetime experience. My wife and I visited the island to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary. We were given a warm welcome with beautiful sining by the staff as my wife was carried off the seaplane (tradition) by staff dress in traditional Liku skirts. Wonderfull Group meals and private beach picnics were the daily norm with a sundry of activites ranging from scuba diving, cave snorkling, bike riding, hiking, and all kinds of fishing. Its great to see the guests come in with the fish to share with all. The limited number of Bures (15) provided a very stress free atmosphere and the Burie Moma or Papa assigned to the each Bure coordinates each day for you and arranges special items. We were surprised by a group of staff who visited us at a private beach to sing for us and provided a personalized cake to celebrate our anniversary. Wow..I can't say enough good about our burie mama as well as the staff in general. There are only two rules on this island. 1. Smile, 2. Refer to rule #1. Vinaka,
