Malaqereqere Ocean View, Villa 2

The kitchen was equipped with all the necessary items. It was clean and tidy. The kitchen and dinning area had magnificent views out over the ocean

We just spent five unforgettable nights at Malaqereqere Villas, and can’t wait to go back!From the moment we arrived, we were charmed by the immaculate grounds and pristine villas, a peaceful, luxurious escape set against the stunning backdrop of Fiji’s Coral Coast.What is it? We will come and cuddle you later in bed but not right now. We have jobs to do.But what truly set this stay apart was the snorkeling: some of the best marine life we've ever experienced was just a short and scenic walk away. The coral is a bit hammered from the local fishermen but there are thousands of fish! Starting from the sugarcane railway, veer left, keep going until the path becomes overgrown, then take the right track down to the beach. From there, walk the point and snorkel toward the island. After navigating a chilly, murky trench, you’ll emerge into an amazing reef alive with fish. A warm current will carry you gently back along the reef, just go with the flow and enjoy the ride before returning for another round!One small caveat: there was noticeable rubbish on the beach, a wider issue in Fiji, unfortunately, but it didn’t overshadow the overall beauty of our stay (though it’s worth being aware of). From dusk to dawn, the property is alive with fascinating wildlife. We were delighted to spot: frogs and small geckos, coconut crabs, flying foxes gliding overhead, their silhouettes hauntingly beautiful at twilight. And the occasional mongoose.

We could not have been happier with our villa. It's private and spacious with views to die for. You will need a rental car but anything you need can be arranged by the kind caretakers and owner. We could have stayed another week. Time literally stopped.

Great location, staff and facilities. Amazing gem for our family get away. Highly recommend
