THE PLANTATION ISLAND FIJI

BULA!!!

That’s in Fijian, in English, it is translated to WELCOME!!!





BULA sounded a locally made gun just shot in my direction. It took me about 45 seconds to process my guide was welcoming me to the plantation island. I took my time to write on my short stay at this holiday location. The plantation island Fiji is covered by of the lush acre of tropical garden, coconut palm, white-sandy beaches, these scenes serve as the fonts of gorgeous lagoons. This is an exact description of what the holidays at Fiji are. It is a beautiful holiday spot for a family to visit and relax for vacations. From the hotel rooms to the pools, the kids' water park in the lagoon, the air conditions in the bures, aside from being an exciting location for a family get together, it is a venue for romantic couples to leave the ever-busy world then go enjoy the panache that makes this place what it is.

What it is like to be at the plantation island
The first point of attraction to me was the abundance of activities to choose from; As a fun seeking individual, I knew I was at the right place. The events ranged from beach sports, surfing, scuba-tour diving, softball, volleyball, netball, golf (I practised my swing on the 9-hole golf course), indulge in a Fijian massage, marvel at the art gallery and explore the island.

Housing and hotels
Available accommodation is made to cater for all manner of individuals, from high-end expensive hotel suites to very affordable decent rooms for just everyone. Hotels are constructed with proximity to the beach and facilities around the resort. As a digital nomad, internet access is vital for my work, and it was available 24 hours a day. The hotel tops up her hospitality by having the best Fijian dishes and intercontinental dished available for guests. As someone who likes adventure, I tried the Fijian dish available.

Plantation island – destinations for most travellers
The best surprise you can ever get is the plantation island being your surprise location for your vacation, the thoughts alone of the beaches, the massage services, nature at its best, aquatic life, the waves from surfing or the breeze from scuba diving; the list is endless.

FIRST LANDING RESORTS & VILLA – A STORY OF MET EXPECTATIONS

In today’ s world of exaggerated promises and failed expectations it was with little faith I tried experiencing a vacation at the FIRST LANDING RESORT & VILLA, I came expecting exaggerated promises – I’ll say they met my expectations and beyond, this is my review.





Having read about the number of guests they could host here at a time, it was with no surprise I saw a small sized resort upon my arrival here. According to my host, this is aimed at having their guests here comfortable. With an optimum number of guests at a time – they could cater to them sufficiently.

It’s important I mention that the Fijian word for WELCOME is ‘BULA’ and it was the first word the resort receiving staff said to me upon my arrival.

“Mousier, BULA!!!!” he said.

I must say for a moment I thought I was in France instead of Fiji.

Let me give you an overview of the accommodation:
• Beachfront spa bure: they consist of a configuration system design with features like air conditioning, bathroom spa, a secret window to access ocean views. In my opinion – the ocean views are the best views from this lodge.
• Deluxe Garden Bures: one unique feature about this lodge is the separate lounge and fully equipped kitchen.
• Garden Villa: consists of 2 bedrooms with each having a private bathroom and outdoor showers. Here, the master bedroom comes with a spa bath. Each villa has its private pool, a spa, a big verandah, and a large kitchen.
• Royal Villa: comes with a master bedroom, double bath, ocean view and lots more.

Also, important I note that the little number around made it easy for the resort to attend to the needs of the number of guests available. The staff to guest ratio was adequate.

With these facilities below – I felt at home:
• 24-hour reception and security
• Available Nannies
• Bars, spas, beachfront
• Medical staff
• Conference centers/rooms
• Internet and Wi-Fi connections
• Comfortable swimming pools

DAY ACTIVITIES
As a regular traveler, my day after working, involved taking a spa treatment, relaxing under the palm trees listening to the live band playing music, at times I took walks in the garden to learn more about Fijian plants. The weekend comes with extra fun, there is a dance show, where different country dances are performed.

Other fun activities include the following:

• Beach Volley
• Coconut husking
• Kava ceremony (Fijian event)
• Etc.

RESTAURANTS
Fiji is known for her food. My experience wasn’t complete without dining to a local Fijian delicacy. The MAI KANA is one of Fiji’s famous restaurant; they offer a combination of the best foods, friendly staff and nature views. There is a world class Chef there, in the person of Chef Darren Braddock; he brings his accumulated wealth of experience to the table.

EVENTS

The FIRST LANDING RESORTS & VILLA can serve as the location for events, with available scenery of nature, and support of hospitality and fantastic staff. Also available for assistance is a team of events experts & coordinators.

CONTACT
The FIRST LANDING RESORT & VILLA is located 17KM North-West of the Nadi International Airport. This journey is about 15 minutes -drive. Should you decide to have an experience like I did (I’ll recommend you do); for your  bookings and inquiry, kindly contact Aqua travel group. They provide the best travel services. With them I can assure a remarkable and beautiful  experience.

Bula Fiji – Travel Tips

Fiji offers a unique blend of culture and natural beauty and travelling to this friendly country always promises a magical vacation. Most people go to Fiji for the gorgeous beaches and relaxing sun and none are disappointed.



Whether you're looking to dive amongst spectacular coral and fish, laze on the beach under the sun, or explore rich cultural and historical sites, Fiji offers the diversity to please any traveller. As you plan your trip, consider these 4 travel tips:

#1 Learn Some key words of the Native Language
English is the official language in Fiji, but the native Fijian language is well persevered and commonly spoken. There are many terms that you might hear incorporated into everyday language. Before you go, make an effort to learn a bit of the language for the full cultural experience of Fiji.

#2 Book a cheap flight online
Australians and New Zealanders should rejoice in the fact that the flight to Fiji is not only short (3.5 hours from Sydney to Nadi) but that there is a good range of cheap flight deals and packages to Fiji. There are several international and regional airlines that operate flights to and from Fiji as well as affordable domestic flights to whisk you comfortably from island to island.

#3 Pack Smart
Unless you are planning to take a trek high up into the mountains, don't worry about packing clothes for cold weather. Fiji is almost always warm, even in the evening and night. Pack plenty of light clothes including bathing suits and cotton shirts, shorts and dresses. Even formal evening events won't dip below the 'crisp casual' range of clothing, so don't worry about packing formalwear. Prepare yourself for the occasional tropical rain and with a waterproof jacket. As with any beach outing, protect yourself from the elements with hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and insect repellent.

#4  Know the Customs
While beachwear is perfectly acceptable at the resorts, scanty clothing is inappropriate in villages. When shopping, remember that bargaining is encouraged at small local shops and stalls, but not at all in major department and grocery stores. Tipping in Fiji is not customary. Visit any village or private home, especially on a weekend, and you will undoubtedly be offered a coconut shell filled with kava, a traditional drink with mildly intoxicating properties. Enjoy!
