My favourite place to stay is the Hot Springs Hotel because of its proximity to town and affordable for local tourism. The lush tropical greenery of the surrounding hills and the shimmering turquoise blue bay, combine with the extraordinary friendliness of the Savusavu locals that sets this island apart.Īs many locals tell me, this is Savusavu, not Fiji! Whether you arrive by boat or plane, there is a sense of amazement at the stunning beauty of Savusavu, which is why I always jump at the chance to go back. Whether it is because of the early European influence or whether Vanua Levu is a distance away from the hustle and bustle of urban life on Viti Levu, Savusavu is an untouched paradise like no other. If you’ve never visited this iconic town, it’s hard to describe why it feels so different. “Two thousand miles I roam, just to make this dock my home, yeah, I’m just sitting by the dock of the bay, watching the tide roll away…”
The song Sitting by the dock of the bay was ringing in my head. Today’s food story opens with a well known song from 1968 by American rhythm and blues singer Otis Redding. Savusavu’s untouched paradise is in a perfect position to take advantage of the tourism dollar. Like a world away from the rest of the country, the iconic Vanua Levu town still maintains its charm and welcoming nature of yesteryear. Savusavu’s picturesque reputation as a hidden paradise belies its true beauty of humanity and tranquillity.
