Lomani Fiji
Taveuni
The
meaning of Lomani is simply In Love in Fijian.
We created Lomani for others to enjoy our initial Fijian experience.
We
discovered this piece of paradise whilst on our honeymoon in 2006.
We enjoyed a few days at Anthony Robbins Resort Namale
on Vanua Levu (the island seen across the Somosomo Straits from Lomani).
We then travelled to Taveuni to enjoy a private property in contrast
to a resort.
It
was here that we discovered the opportunity to create Lomani.
We
have styled Lomani on what we would look for in a private property,
that is privacy, luxury, ambience, space and charm. Furthermore, achieving
the balance between enjoying a unique natural experience and yet not
wanting for anything at all.
Our
dream was created with you in mind.
You
will find Lomani truly is a unique romantic paradise.
We
hope you enjoy an enchanting and memorable stay at Lomani.
Facilities
Lomani is set on two acres of beautiful gardens and is a luxurious
cottage offering one bedroom with a four poster king size bed (covered
by a mosquito net). Leading from the bedroom is a bathroom, toilet
and outdoor double headed
stone shower.
The
bedroom also leads on to a living area with all modern conveniences,
ie TV, DVD, stereo and a range of games, books, DVD movies and music.
Both
the bedroom and living area lead onto a spacious deck which extends
along the front of the cottage and offers magnificent views out across
the Somosomo Straits.
There
is a large kitchen which provides views over the Somosomo Straits
to the east and south east and opens up onto the deck overlooking
the infinity edge pool. The kitchen has a dining area and is fully
equipped with all cooking and eating utensils including rice cooker,
wok, blender, fruit juice maker and BBQ on the deck.
The
bedroom, kitchen and living room all have ceiling fans and multiple
louvred windows and louvred doors all of which have fly wire cover.
The
cottage is furnished in traditional locally made Fijian furniture.
The
swimming pool is 3 x 4 mts and is at the corner of the deck with infinity
edges overlooking the water.
All
linen and towels are provided.
There
is a second bathroom at the rear of the kitchen which also has a washing
machine for your use during your stay.

cottage is solely powered by solar power including the pool pump (with

There
are three major, distinct diving areas around the island. To the north
of Taveuni lie in close proximity the islands of Qamea and Matagi
with their surrounding reef systems. The Rainbow Reef and Vuna Reef
are famous for diving and snorkeling, respectively. The Rainbow Reef,
on the western side in the narrow strait between Taveuni and Vanua
Levu (ie in front of Lomani!), are known as one of the world's premier
soft coral dive areas. The horseshoe shaped Vuna Lagoon, near the
southern end of the island, is much appreciated among divers for the
opportunity to see larger pelagic and schooling fish species on the
exposed southern side of the reef, whereas the sheltered western parts
provide pristine soft and hard coral gardens.
Some of the more popular dives at the Rainbow Reef in front of Lomani
include the Great White Wall and Little White Wall, named for their
luminescent white coral; Rainbows End, with an incredible gardens
of multi-colored soft corals; and 3 Bommies, made up of three giant
coral towers or "bommies" that rise up from
the sea floor to within 12 meters of the surface.
As you would expect, there are a number of certified dive operators
on Taveuni catering to beginners through experienced professionals.
