Over 25 years since it was opened by the son of legendary diving pioneer and environmentalist Jacques-Yves Cousteau, Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort remains a beacon of what luxury eco-travel can be. Despite its status as one of Fiji’s finest destinations, it still radiates a home-like feel with the warmest of five-star service and a family friendly approach (younger guests are assigned either a ‘nanny’ if they are under five or a ‘buddy’ if they are aged six to 12). All of the resort’s 25 stand-alone bures — a traditional wood-and straw home — are a slice of paradise, but The Presidential Villa is in its own league. Set within a walled garden with a generous deck and infinity pool, the master suite features a sunken Jacuzzi tub, while the separate living room transforms into a second en-suite bedroom. Whether your days are spent earning your PADI certification at the world class dive center or simply lounging on the beach, you won’t want to miss your in-villa cocktail hour every evening.
