Fully family-owned Ahura Resorts will soon reopen its $10million revitalised Likuliku Lagoon Resort.
The luxury couples-only resort had temporarily closed its doors last year for three months to allow for a series of major enhancement projects scheduled from February 1 to April 30 this year.
Resort owner and Ahura Resorts managing director Tony Whitton said the refurbished property would be reopened in the next week, elevating its offerings and guest experience to new heights.
“We closed our resort for three months and during this period, the 150 full-time employees retained full pay working at our sister resort Malolo Island Resort and also being support team to our building contractors,” Mr Whitton told The Fiji Times.
“These changes reinforce our commitment to providing an exceptional experience as one of Fiji’s premier and iconic luxury resorts, and we look forward to continuing offering world-class experiences as Fiji’s tourism industry continues to thrive.
“We’re thrilled to welcome guests back to Likulike Lagoon Resort following this significant revitalisation.”
Mr Whitton said the transformation underscored the property’s continued commitment to relaxed luxury, sustainable tourism, and world class experiences.
The new-look resort now features an innovative dining concept, interactive conservation hub dedicated to marine and ecological preservation and community care, and elevated luxury accommodations designed to blend with the resort’s natural wilderness surroundings.
Other enhancements include:
– refurbished and refreshed bures, with 11 beachfront bures now featuring private plunge pools, adding to the deluxe beachfront bure taking the number to 29,
– synthetic thatching of beachfront and deluxe beachfront bures, enhancing its sustainability efforts,
– upgraded main restaurant, bar makeover and refurbished public area bathrooms,
– high speed Wi-Fi capacity with additional access points connected to Starlink Satellite, and’
– water bottling and production plant to open in June that will see to the production of still and sparkling water for both Likuliku and sister Malolo Island Resort.
Key additions to the resort include:
– a new restaurant Saluwaki – offers a concept dining experience showcasing Fijian-inspired Asian tapas, and will feature locally-sourced ingredients from the resort’s gardens and surrounding waters,
– Na Vanua Conservation Hub – offers guests a unique, hands-on opportunity to engage with and support local ecosystems and Fijian culture; it will feature an interactive space with displays of field projects and Fijian culture.
