IN FIJI, THERE ARE MANY PARADISES, BUT ONLY ONE UTOPIA
IN FIJI, THERE ARE MANY PAR ADISES, BUT ONLY ONE UTOPIA
BULA VINAK A
Namale, FIji’s #1 Resort & Spa was created with your desires in mind. Your desire for seclusion, for splendor, for joyful authenticity,
for a second-to-none, out-of-this-world experience tailored to your every whim.
We like to think of our emerald haven as the escape from the everyday escape. Here, the all-inclusive experience
is elevated to a luxurious, highly individualized art form. Our staff of 140 (about three staffers for every one guest)
ensures your experience is a seamless one, from the private three-course lunches and five-course dinners—taken
anywhere you like, on your sundeck, on the beach, inside a cave—to the gorgeous appointments of your very own
Fijian bure or villa overlooking the Koro Sea.
Our spa is another spectacular standout. Its rejuvenating treatments combine ancient wisdom with modern wellness
principles, in the form of spectacular massages, wraps and healing rituals—ideal after a day of diving, snorkeling or
horseback riding!
Don’t settle for anywhere short of unforgettable. When you join us inside this hidden world of bliss, adventure and
surrender, your everyday concerns are traded for lasting rejuvenation. A trip to Namale will live with you forever.
I hope you can join us,
The Namale Family
“You literally can’t resist Namale.”
—Edward Norton, Actor & Environmentalist
ABOUT NAMALE
In a secluded corner of Fiji where the rainforest meets the ocean, the rare, outrageous
beauty of Namale sprawls 525 acres across a former coconut plantation. Every day, our
guests can expect to experience culinary delights, award winning spa treatments, sun
soaked activities and world class service.
The resort is located in the township of Savusavu on Fiji’s second-largest island
of Vanua Levu—a mostly uninhabited landmass teeming with geothermal activity,
rolling hills and resplendent coral reefs. The same relaxed splendor exists in every
corner of our resort, which is built around (rather than at the expense of ) its stunning
natural settings. Accommodations rest upon boulders and volcanic uplifts, structures
are built around majestic trees, and our spa overlooks a geological blowhole.
Namale’s lush privacy has attracted some of the world’s most influential executives,
celebrities and editors. Oprah Winfrey, fashion designer Donna Karan, NBA coach
Pat Riley, actors Russell Crowe, Edward Norton, Meg Ryan and Sir Anthony Hopkins,
and musician and producer Quincy Jones have all experienced Namale, which has
been featured on the cover of Architectural Digest, on The Bachelorette, and named
one of the “Top 50 Romantic Places on Earth” by Luxury Magazine.
Named after a native tree renowned for its healing properties and use as shelter,
Namale Resort & Spa creates a world of nurturing, luxury and rejuvenation for each
and every guest.
WHY NAMALE?
At a time when vacations feel more like work and less like play, Namale, Fiji’s number-one luxury resort, is one of the
last refuges for true rejuvenation.
There’s no typical schedule here. Some of our guests spend their days diving, snorkeling, hiking and fishing, returning
to their villas to enjoy specialty meals prepared with their catch of the day. Some work their way through our spa menu.
Some venture out to the market in Savusavu and attend traditional Fijian rituals. Some guests spend days in their villas,
reconnecting with family and enjoying private beach access and private dining.
We take pride in these individualized experiences. That’s why our property hosts only 44 guests at a time, so each
can receive close, thoughtful and unobtrusive attention from our staff of 140. There are many “onlys” here at Namale;
here you’ll find the only bowling alley and virtual golf course in all of Fiji, as well as the only full-time interior decorator,
private waterfall and water trampoline at any resort in the country.
Equal parts splendor and seclusion, the Namale experience is also an authentic one. There’s no need to hit the snooze
button here, as every morning is met with the gentle hum of the native lali drum. We promise you will discover a new
part of yourself here.
Yes, many resorts in Fiji are beyond the ordinary. But only Namale takes you beyond the beyond—in a haven where
your every need is anticipated, met and exceeded.
“Namale is an ultimate escape... experience its bliss!”
—Donna Karan, World Renowned Fashion Designer
“A hauntingly beautiful retreat. It is per fection itself.”

Private three-course lunches and five-course dinners can be enjoyed anywhere you like — be it

haven overlooking the sea from a volcanic cliff, our spa allows guests to truly unwind, guided by skilled therapists through
restorative, invigorating journeys.
The 10,000-square-foot spa is meticulously constructed from native palm wood, rock and palm thatch; arching bridges
span a trickling stream that flows through the property and into the forest. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook emerald
canopies and crystalline waters.
The spa features two treatment rooms with garden views, two rooms with ocean views, a consultation lounge, a
foot soak and massage lounge, and a manicure/pedicure room. The expansive hydro-aromatherapy area—with hot
tubs, steam room, plunge pool and waterfall dipping pool—boasts fabulous views of the Koro Sea, whose “blowhole”
geyser is something that must be seen to be believed.
As adherents to the world’s healing traditions, we have merged the ancient wisdoms of Fijian, Thai, Indian, Swedish
and Native American practices with modern medical science to create an effective path to health and beauty.
Treatments include the Kaukauwa Energy Therapy Treatment (invigorating full-body exfoliation, steam therapy and
massage), the Mother Magic (hot/cold basalt stone massage to heal your chakras), the Bali Spice Ritual (a jetlagbusting, detoxifying body wrap of traditional Balinese herbs) and the Meke Totoka Tandem Facial (a luxurious full
facial and restorative massage at the hands of two therapists). No matter what ritual you choose to complement your
escape, your spa experience will be nothing short of sublime.

This, combined with our team of highly qualified and experienced divers, makes for brilliant

and turtles to small reef sharks and schools of hammerheads.
NAMALE ON LAND & WATER
Closer to shore, Namale boasts limitless recreation, including swimming in freshwater pools, knee boarding, fishing

the South Pacific. Namale offers an incredible opportunity to boat out to the dolphins’ early-morning feeding ground;
you’ll be amazed and amused by as many as 60 dolphins as they soar, leap and spin through the air.
This magical spectacle is followed by snorkeling among vibrantly hued soft coral reef teeming with an unending variety
of exotic tropical fish. It is truly an unspoiled underwater wonderland.
And the adventures continue on land: horseback riding, volleyball, tennis, hiking, badminton, table tennis, basketball and
snorkeling are all popular choices among our guests. Hikes and excursions include trekking to rainforest waterfalls and
exploring the vibrant tide pools at the blowhole.
Also at your disposal is our incredible outdoor golf course with 9 holes and 18 tee boxes offering you an unforgettable 18 hole
experience and driving range at no additional charge!

THE CULTURE AT NAMALE
For all our modern, five-star appointments, life at Namale is also wonderfully authentic. Say
goodbye to cookie-cutter resort culture; the customs of Fiji are vibrant within and around the
resort.
The Kava Yaqone Ceremony is hugely popular among our guests. Named for the pulverized
root of a pepper plant, kava, or yaqona, the drink is consumed during a variety of Fijian rituals:
for welcoming visitors, sealing business deals, casting spells, or, most often, simply relaxing
among friends. As guests at Namale, you can expect to be one of the first to drink it as a
gesture of appreciation by the staff.
On Saturdays, the market in Savusavu is an explosion of sights, smells and tastes. Freshpicked tropical fruits like papayas and guavas are stacked in abundance beside handicrafts
made by highland artisans, including sarongs (sulus), sculptures, tapestries, pure coconut oil
and jewelry. Many of these treasures, like the meticulously woven fans, are found only in
this special part of Fiji.
Storytelling is paramount in Fijian culture. Once a week, a meke—a troupe of tribal dancers,
musicians and storytellers dressed in traditional costumes of including grass skirts, spears
and necklaces woven of plumeria—visits Namale. Beneath a canopy of stars, guests
experience the ancient legends of the South Pacific. An absolutely riveting experience, a
meke will elevate an already heavenly stay at Namale.
