Renowned luxury Fiji eco-retreat Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort has released a ‘first look’ inside its multi-million-dollar revamp, which includes new two-bedroom bures and an ocean-facing fitness centre.
The resort-wide renovation was undertaken with multi-gen families in mind, with the creation of spacious two-bedroom bures with expanded living areas, decks with daybeds and alfresco dining for enhanced space, privacy and connection.
The reception, dining areas and main pool have also been refreshed, while tropical landscaping throughout the property has been carefully restored.
Bures have been rethatched, while there are also resurfaced tennis, pickleball and basketball courts, and a new ocean-facing fitness centre overlooks Savusavu Bay, complementing the Fijian-inspired spa and open-air yoga platform.
Across the eco-retreat, traditional Fijian craftsmanship has been incorporated, including the use of magimagi (woven coconut husks) central to Fijian culture.
Marine conservation plays a key role in a stay here, and the retreat has in-house marine biologists and reef protection programme.
“This was never about changing what makes Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort special,” says general manager Nigel Fisher.
“The spirit of the resort has always come from the people, the community and the connection guests feel when they arrive in Savusavu.
“The renovation was about honouring that while enhancing the experience for future generations.”
