Once
upon a time across the bluest of oceans, an island was born of lava and
sand - an untouched paradise whose heart was a turquoise lagoon of
unimaginable beauty and tranquility. The first visitors came and
explored. To honour the magic of the place, they named it "Likuliku",
meaning "calm waters".
Likuliku Lagoon
Resort is the newest 5 star resort in Fiji and the first and only with
over-water bures. It is a unique and special place designed with
integrity to cultural values, traditional designs and architecture, and
is embraced by the renowned warmth of the Fijian people.
From the water it
looks like an ancient village, so traditional is the style. The
beating heart of the Resort is a magnificent building in the design of a
Fijian canoe house. Surrounded by sprawling ceilings, hand-woven
thatch and an exotic mix of natural materials and modern elements,
Likuliku embodies the richness of an ancient culture with vibrant
present-day lifestyle touches.
Welcome to Fiji's
newest luxury escape for couples.
Welcome to your
magical sanctuary. |

Location |
|
Likuliku is located
25km/16 miles from Nadi International Airport in the Mamanuca
archipelago. |

|
Climate |
|
Fiji's climate is
tropical. Temperatures vary slightly between the summer and winter
months with summer beginning early December and lasting through to
March.
The weather is
quite hot and humid during the summer months with average daily
temperatures around 32°C (92°F). This time is usually referred to as the
'wet season', however it should be noted that Likuliku Lagoon Resort is
located to the west of the larger Fiji Islands and on average receives
less rainfall than the eastern parts of Fiji at this time.
By the end of
April, Fiji experiences a more moderate climate with average
temperatures reaching 27°C (82°F) by day and pleasantly cooler during
the night at around 19°C (66°F). |

Tides
Tides are natural
predictable events that vary in strength on a regular basis. They result
from various different forces or combinations of forces caused by the
movement of the moon and sun relative to the earth. Spring tides
produce higher high tides and lower low tides and occur every 14 days at
the time of the full moon and new moon when the sun, the moon and earth
line up to exert the maximum
gravitational force at the earths surface. In these cycles, sea levels
can fall as much as 1.7m (5.7ft), gradually emptying the Lagoon over a
6 hour period , exposing the seabed during low tides. This is natural
and part of mother nature. The Lagoon will take another 6 hours or so
to fill again. On neap tides, the fall in sea level is smaller, around
0.9m (3ft). |

 |
 |
 |
|
Likiliku in the
Malolo dialect literally means "Calm Lagoons or Waters".
It was an ancient
safe harbour for the war canoes during times of tribal warfare.
Likuliku features prominently in ancient Fijian Mythology and History
and is an important landmark, not only in terms of the history, but in
the importance the site plays in the lineage of the "Tui Lawa" (Chief of
the Oceans). |
