From the owner

Lomani (meaning in love) is a romantic paradise for couples on an island unaffected by time, void of worry and spoilt by beauty.

Lomani is a private property overlooking the ocean set on 2 acres exclusively for our guests.

Upon arrival at Taveuni airport you will be greeted by Knox our wonderful tour guide and driver for Lomani.

Knox and Kelera (husband and wife) are available throughout your stay to the extent you require their services, ie from affording you total and complete privacy to being available to answer any queries and/or provide any services as well as making arrangements for meals either served at Lomani or bookings at local restaurants, excursions and other local activities (including Fijian lovo and dances).

Lomani offers you a private infinity pool, a double outdoor stone shower, fruit laden gardens, a romatic two seater swing overlooking the ocean…as well as many of the creature comforts from home including fully functional kitchen should you wish to prepare your own meals, wi-fi, pay TV.

Lomani also offers you your own bicycles as well as two glass bottom kayaks to explore the reef in front of Lomani.

Having been the location for filming ‘Return to the Blue Lagoon’ and series of ‘Survivor, Taveuni Island is unique in the range of activities available including world class diving, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking, hiking, waterfalls, horse riding, massages, island hopping amongst numerous others.

The international date line also cross Taveuni Island and so you can separate yourselves by less than a yard but be a day away.

Importantly, a visit to Lomani and Taveuni Island is an opportunity for you to immerse yourself in a unique and beautiful culture and enjoy the company of what are arguably the friendliest and warmest people in the world.

Lomani is best suited for couples, honeymooners, divers, adventure seekers and anyone who wants to relax!

We have styled Lomani on what we would look for in a private property - privacy, space, ambience and charm. Our dream was created with you in mind.
