 Where, you ask, is Fiji? This lush country of more than 300 islands is in about the same place south of the equator as Hawaii is north of the equator. You 'lose' a day when you come here from the U.S. and 'get it back' when you return because Fiji, just west of the International Date Line, is literally the first country in the world to see each new day. It may be helpful to know that noon in Fiji on a Monday is 4:00 pm (Pacific Standard Time) on Sunday, the day before.

| There are several flights every week from LA or Honolulu which arrive at the international airport in Nadi (pronounced NAN-dee) on Fiji's main island of Viti Levu. There are also many flights from other overseas destinations -- just ask your travel agent for details. | ||

Lomalagi is located on Vanua Levu, Fiji's second largest island. Known as 'The Friendly North', Vanua Levu is the real Fiji. A quick 45-55 minute flight from Nadi to Savusavu brings you to us with excellent connections from most incoming international flights. Your arrival time might require an overnight stay in the Nadi area because the inter-island airlines don't fly after dark. Please ask your travel agent or us for recommended accommodations, if required.
Upon your arrival in Savusavu, we will meet your flight and whisk you off to Lomalagi, about 30 minutes away, along the truly scenic Hibiscus Highway. When you must at last depart, we will take you to the Savusavu airport for your return to the real world.

| Things to bring: Sunscreen is a must and insect repellent is recommended although insects are not really a problem. All of the Villas are fully screened. Your favorite CDs for the player in your room. If you forget, we have a large selection. Attire in public is quite conservative. You can dress as you like at Lomalagi but if you travel outside, especially to a village, you'll want to avoid short shorts, halter tops, bathing suits, etc. Bermuda shorts are fine. Dinner in Lomalagi's dining pavilion is casual but if you want to dress up that's OK too. You may want a light jacket in the evening if you're here from July through September because evenings can be cool (mid 60's). Shoes aren't worn in Fijian homes or in Lomalagi's villas so it's a good idea to bring sandals or flip-flops. We provide complimentary laundry service so you can pack light!  |

| Lomalagi is a working coconut plantation and our 25 acres have over 1,600 feet of beachfront. The grounds are extensively landscaped and we have used wide wooden walkways throughout. The grounds and walkways are lighted at night, a truly lovely effect.
There are only six HUGE Villas, approximately 800 square feet each, with 12' x 32' partially covered view decks. Each Villa is built into the side of the hill, just above the beach, facing the sea. There are two 'categories' of Villa: We have 4 Executive/Honeymoon Villas with unbelievably spectacular views. The other two are Deluxe Hillside Villas - still with lovely views, but a bit lower down the hill. All face North for sunrises and sunsets and all have considerable privacy. |

Our hexagonal dining pavilion overlooks the pool, facing the sea. We can accommodate up to 24 -- sometimes local ex-pats or guests from other resorts will join us for meals. The 'play house' is located nearby, with a regulation pool table, our 'swap' library and lots of board games.
Our swimming pool is 80' x 20', in an "S" shape and contains over 100,000 gallons of filtered sea water. It's the largest pool on the island! Two giant waterfalls interact with the pool and there are several secluded sunning spots. Lomalagi faces due North so we have sun at the pool all day long. |
