Coconut Grove Beachfront Cottage - Taveuni Island

Coconut Grove Beachfront Cottages is a small, intimate resort located directly on the ocean and a private, white sand beach. Surrounded by mango trees and coconut palms, we have just three accommodations, thus assuring you a very private holiday.When we bought our slice of paradise we made a conscious decision to make sure we kept it just the way we would want it to be if we were here on vacation. It was important to us that we retain the solitude and simplicity of the island way of life, which is one reason why we have no disco and no cable t.v.

What we do have, however, is extraordinary diving and snorkeling, incredible nature walks, the greatest staff this side of the Pacific and sunrises that will take your breath away. We at Coconut Grove are devoted to this island, its people and its traditions. Come see why people say that Taveuni is one of the most magical places on our earth.

The banana bure our newest bure and is located right down on the lower part of the property, closest to the beach. The cottage has windows all around, with views of the ocean from 3 sides. From your queen size bed you can see banana trees, hibiscus and watch the sunrise over the 1st island. When you return from your swim it is ten steps from the beach up to the attached hot water honeymoon shower. After you've enjoyed bathing in privacy outdoors, (there is nothing like it in the world!) there is a second door that brings you right into the cottage. Now this is the way to bathe in the tropics!

The Mango Bure has a queen size bed and overhead fan. There is also a single bed under the front windows on which you can read your book, and a small fridge nearby for your cold drinks. It is a spacious room with high ceilings, and the walls are covered in indigenous reeds that give the room a real island feeling. There is a large verandah in the front with two oversized chaise lounges. It is the perfect spot to spend the late afternoon and watch the colors of the sky change over the ocean as the sun sets.

The Papaya bure is cooled by the trade winds that rustle through the papaya trees outside. It has a queen size bed, ceiling fan and a little fridge in the corner for your cold drinks. Its louvered windows provide beautiful views of the ocean and sunrise from your bed! Outside, on your verandah, there are heliconias and hibiscus everywhere, and down a few steps is the outdoor lava rock shower. Of course there is a hot water shower inside your bure, but this outside one is the perfect place to rinse off after a swim. It has a cute little half door in the front so that you can see the ocean from here without frightening the fish.
