"The
most enduring memories of Turtle Island
tend
to be of the simple things:
|
|

|
|
|
...swinging
gently in a double hammock, reading and sipping
champagne in the late afternoon or dining privately
at a remote spot."

The
Bures...
|
|
|
During
your stay on Turtle, your home will be one of only
15 "bures", traditional, two-room,
thatched cottages built by Fijian craftsmen. Each is
spacious, comfortable and filled with light.
|
|

|
|

|
|
Gentle
trade winds carry the scent of tropical blossoms
through the breezy interiors.
Hand
woven 21-foot vaulted ceilings arch over the wheat
coloured walls and mellow wood or terra cotta
floors.
|
|
|
Louvred
windows open to the tranquil waters of the Blue
Lagoon. Each suite provides separate sleeping,
dressing, lounging and bathing areas.
All bures have an outdoor verandah for napping on
the day bed.
|
|
 |
|

|
|
Grand
Bures
have a king size four poster bed, an
extensive dressing area, a private "Hot
Springs" jetted spa tub, an outdoor shower and
outdoor verandah with daybed.
|
|
|
Deluxe
Bures have a
king size four poster bed, two full baths, a rattan
furnished sitting room and writing desk.
All
Bures are
equipped with hairdryers, Bose CD players, tea and
coffee making facilities, toiletries, irons and
ironing boards.

| The
BEACHES... |
|
The island is blessed with 14 white, naturally occurring sandy
beaches, 8 of which are available for private picnics. Some
naturally occurring palm fringed beaches. Some are adjacent to
the living and dining areas, and some are totally isolated,
bounded by high cliffs or set within a cove.
|
|
Your time on
Turtle is your own, whether you want to stroll the beaches,
wade in the turquoise waters, cruise from island to island on
one of our sailboats or snorkel or scuba with a Fijian guide.
Couples can reserve a beach for the day and enjoy a romantic
picnic where a luncheon of lobster and champagne, or whatever
you prefer, will be dropped off.
|
 |
 |
|
Lose
your worldly inhibitions. Read a book. Sip champagne. Work on
an all-over tan.

THE
BLUE LAGOON
The Blue Lagoon is as clear as new blown
glass and offers spectacular displays and diversions.
Living coral reefs of blue, green and yellow, called
"fringing reefs" ring the island and are home to
colorful galaxies of fish, from lion to angel to
buttterflyi fish. Squid
and octopi live here too, as well as sea cucumbers, rays and
crabs. Don snorkel gear and go eye-to-eye with a green
or hawksbill turtle.
