SNEZANA BELEVSKA-BENNELL and family find paradise with a side of sea life and sustainability at Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort.
Some places in this world seem just too good to be true. Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort, Fiji is one of them. Sitting amid 6.8 hectares of tropical palms in magical Savusavu Bay, this extraordinary, eco-friendly resort is the perfect spot for an adventurous yet indulgent getaway, where time stands still and families can truly reconnect and recharge.
Beachfront bliss
Just steps from the sand and with breathtaking views of Savusavu Bay, Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort’s luxurious thatched Fijian bures can accommodate families of up to five (some even sleep six). We enjoy the comfort of a split-level deck and outdoor setting with relaxing chairs and chaises longues. Each bure also offers gorgeous tropical gardens, together with a seaside hammock to complete the picture. From here we watch the sun go down, the kids wiggling into the hammock. For a little more indulgence, book a stay in Villa 25, which offers the additional luxury of its own private spa and infinity pool.
The Bula Kids’ Club
We mums sometimes feel like we need a holiday to recover from a family holiday because it can prove difficult to make time for yourself as well as providing a wonderful experience for the kids. But not, as we discovered, if that getaway is at Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort, which offers a real holiday for every member of the family.
