 Beqa
Lagoon Resort private villas (called bures) are large and luxurious.
Tucked in the coconut trees, just a few meters back from the beach, each
bure is elegantly finished with rattan and bamboo and decorated with
colorful splashes of fabric and works of art. Every beachfront bure has its
own spacious courtyard with a plunge pool and bamboo fence to ensure your
privacy. Honeymoon bure also has a romantic outdoor shower. Every bure is an
air conditioned mini-suite with a spectacular marble lined bath, a king
poster bed and a sitting room with a double bed. Every porch has a table,
lounge chairs and a wonderful view. And if you walk a few meters in towards
the beach, you will find a cozy hammock to hunker down with your loved one
or a good book. In addition to our standard bures we now have spacious
2-bedroom bures that are perfect for families. These have air conditioning,
one and a half baths and are elegantly furnished with artwork as the villas.
The upstairs units have a balcony and downstairs have porches. Now you can
bring your family to paradise in style. |
Cultural Experience One of our big advantages is a huge cultural
experience you can get on Beqa. As we are located close to Fijian villages,
we arrange village visits with our guides. You can see how the Fijians live,
the lifestyle that changed very little over the last hundred of years. Visit
to local school is a big event – the kids love guests and set up great
performances for them.
Cultural Experience
On any given week, just a few feet from the Bure Kalou, the
guests of Beqa Lagoon have the exclusive privilege of witnessing the sacred
fire walking ceremony. Early in the day, young men from the neighboring
village carry large branches to the resort and build an enormous bonfire
underneath a pile of stones. When the fire is low and the stones are glowing
red, the warriors reappear in ceremonial dress. The eldest begins a deep
resonant chant, and slowly, one by one, the very young to the very old walk
carefully across the scalding stones. In 1994, a group of reporters from
National Geographic visited our resort to document the sacred fire walking
ceremony. They were accompanied by a scientist who measured the heat of the
stones at over 1200 degrees Fahrenheit (650 degrees Celsius). He also
examined the firewalkers thoroughly though could offer no explanation as to
what makes the ceremony possible.
On Wednesday you can participate in famous kava ceremony. In Fiji, the drink
yaqona (kava) played an important part in public business and social life.
Made from the dried roots of the shrub Piper methysticum, the kava root is
cut into small pieces and then grated to a pulp and steeped in water.
Meke, the traditional Fijian dance and singing show, is not to be missed.
And of course, visit to the nearby capital of Fiji, Suva, can be a great
experience for you. |

Sit around the bar and enjoy one of our two local bands that perform for you
every night. Fijians have the sweetest voices on Earth and hearing them
singing will reassure you are in paradise.Each week you can enjoy
traditional Fijian performance, meke, through which Fijians express
themselves and narrate stories of their life. You will be able to see the
women dancing and singing and ancient dance of warriors.

Surrounded by over 190 miles of spectacular coral, Beqa Lagoon is one of the
worlds largest barrier reefs. Diving these calm protected waters is like
exploring another world. The water is clear and warm, visibility is
typically over 100 feet, currents are mild, and the water temperature stays
a fairly constant 80 F (26.5 C). Many of the most spectacular dive sights
are only a few minutes from shore, and if you stayed long enough, you could
explore over 100 different sights! The Dive Masters at Beqa Lagoon have been
diving in these waters since they were children and are some of the most
caring people you ever meet. Our divers know every reef and coral head, and
if you stay close they will show you some of the most intriguing creatures
ever. Blue Ribbon Eels, Clown Triggers, Lion Fish, Leaf Scorpions, Reef
Sharks and millions of colorful Anthias and Fusiliers all abound in these
waters. |
