Daku Resort

I was at Savusavu five years ago for three months and this time, I stayed in Daku Resort at Savusavu, very close to town. It was a beautiful place and very pleasant stay. I was there for two weeks. The resort was in the very best location, near the town and yet, very quiet and beautiful in from of ocean. I jump into water every day to swim, watch pretty fish and beautiful corals. You can walk to the town very easily or take a taxi for 2$. In the resort, you can get everything yourselves: either cooking yourself or have their food in restaurant in the resort. The front desk staff are very friendly and nice. The resort has kayaking, standing board and the other tours to offer. I love it very much! Absolutely stunning views and beautiful place to stay! I will come back again! Thank you. Shell

What an exceptionally friendly place to stay. Cosy bures and villa with pool. The PM of Fiji stayed one evening which was exciting. All the staff at Daku Resort - JJ and Delia, Joe, Josika, Peggy, Ana, Aubrey, Saki, Mafi, Litia, Barbara, Mili, Epi, Dharmend, Sowane, Captain Droto - Dem, Meli, Gadrevi, Kirisitiana and Shahista made me feel so welcome. Nothing was too much bother and everything always delivered with a cheery smile. Daku resort is in a stunning location with ocean views from every angle. Joe looked after me so well and we visited Kokoma (delicious chocolate makers) next to the resort; a beautiful waterfall to swim in and under at Vuadomo; a traditional village at Naweni where sacred fresh water red prawns were enticed to the surface through singing - pointing at them not allowed. There are excellent scuba diving centres near the resort.

I loved my stay at Daku Resort. The views from any point in the property are absolutely stunning. The room and the bed I was in was so comfy I was barely able to get out of the room in the morning. The corals just nearby are full of colourful fish, even two steps away from the property. Just borrow snorkeling gear from the reception and go exploring. There’s a small road between the property and the water but barely any cars, feels like a far away hidden paradise, peaceful and quiet, yet to be discovered. If you like me prefer to avoid the crowds and massive tourism locations, this is a true gem!.

Everything about Daku was a delight, from the well-appointed room, to the beautiful setting, friendly staff, terrific service and delicious food. Warm, friendly and down to earth, every day felt more magical than the last. It’s close to town and there are so many excursions to go on on the island, snorkelling and a waterfall swim bring particular favourites. I stayed for just under a week and wished it could have been longer - there’s nowhere else I’d rather stay now that I’ve been to Daku and I’m sure I’ll be back!

JJ, Delia, Aubrey, Joe, Peggy, Joshika, Tukai, Saki and all at Daku are life changers after visiting Fiji and their special resort. We had a large group and even though I’m sure we were overwhelming at times, they never made us feel so. There were so many laughs, hugs and genuine connection moments throughout our retreat week. The food was delicious, the space was comfortable, the culture was always present and overall the time spent at Daku was glorious. I was not ready to leave and am already contemplating when I can go back - I will absolutely be staying with JJ and their staff who was like family again.

The staff were so friendly, patient, and accommodating. Got a lot of use out of the plunge pools. Peggy, Joe, and Saki were always available to answer a question, hack open a fresh coconut or mix up a tasty cocktail. JJ’s stories provided for fantastic dinner entertainment. Daku and staff made our Goddess retreat truly magical!!!
