Two of Fiji’s most iconic stays, Malolo Island and Likuliku Lagoon Resorts, have announced their long-awaited re-emergence after being closed for 20 months.
Like many resorts in Fiji, Malolo and Likuliku were forced to close their doors when Fiji’s borders shut in March 2020 due to the pandemic. During that time, all 300 staff – except for an engineering and essential services team, were stood down whilst Fiji and the world waited out COVID-19.
Ahura Resorts, the Fijian family company that owns and operates Malolo and Likuliku, says it has remained connected to its family of staff over this time including deploying a food voucher distribution program every quarter to help the staff and their families replenish staple grocery items.
But the wait will be over very soon, as Fiji’s borders are set to reopen in December.
So, if you’re planning a trip and would like to stay at either of these properties, you’ll be pleased to know that Malolo Island Resort will reopen to international guests on 20 December 2021, followed by Likuliku Lagoon Resort on 1 February 2022.
Fijian owner and Managing Director Mr Tony Whitton said, “We have waited and worked hard towards this day for a long time.
“There are probably not enough words to explain the feelings of excitement, relief and joy we have, that we can finally get our staff back to work and once again, welcome our valued guests to our shores.
“Both resorts are recording high levels of enquiries and bookings from all over the world and our family of staff can’t wait to share our beautiful island and its pristine surroundings again.
“We know our guests will want to rest, reconnect and find inspiration after such a long wait. And I can tell you, we are ready to welcome them back!”
Malolo Island and Likuliku Lagoon are both multi-award-winning resorts and cater to very different markets from around the world.
Malolo is renowned for its success in providing quintessential family island holidays for over 20 years, and Likuliku blazed a trail back in 2007 when it opened with Fiji’s first and only Over-Water Bures – catering to the luxury adults-only market.
To welcome back guests again, both resorts are offering special packages:
- Malolo Island Resort: Stay 5 Pay 3 plus Meals* – Valid for travel 15th January to 31st March 2022.
- Likuliku Lagoon Resorts: Stay 5 Pay 4 including 1hr Couples Massage, 2hr Private Picnic on the Resorts’ private island and a FJD$500 Beverage Credit – Valid for travel 1st February to 31st March 2022.
Conditions apply.
