HEAVEN ON EARTH!
Review Submitted: October 8, 2009

If I were to wish for a holiday home of my dreams, Lomalagi is certainly it!! Perched high on a hillside, set amongst acres of swaying coconut trees and evergreen tropical vegetation, breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and the many small bays which make up the Coral Coast, Lomalagi really is 'Heaven on Earth'!
Complete privacy awaits with no neighbours in sight!
The delightful Fijian caretaker Abi, his wife Meci, their boys and not forgetting Sydney, the resident dog, make you feel most welcome in true Fiji Style. Abi is always nearby to offer advice and a helping hand.
Lomalagi boasts all the comforts of home, tastefully decorated in tropical island style, very comfortable beds and fully equipped kitchen with everything you'll need. Be prepared for the high humidity of Fiji, however ceiling fans in every room certainly make you more comfortable. You can't help but want to spend time on the terrace with it's awesome views.
The rocky coral beach and calm lagoons fronting the property are great to explore, fish, snorkel or cool off.
Lots of small cafes and rustic restaurants along nearby Korotogo Beach offer a variety of cuisines and 'cheap eats'. For a little indulgence, 5 minutes drive from home, the beautiful 'Outrigger Resort' offers world class facilities - fabulous restaurants and bars, a spa retreat, swimming pools and lots of activities for kids.
Within 30 minutes in either direction, numerous resorts and restaurants dot the coastline.
For food supplies, don't go past Sigatoka markets (15 mins away) selling fresh local grown produce. Saturday is seafood day but you have to be early for the fast selling tropical fish caught by local fisherman. Don't go past the Indian sweets carts for a little sumptuous indulgence!! Meat (limited cuts), and groceries can be found at the many supermarkets surrounding the local market.
For the best coffee in town visit 'Tapoo Cafe', (one of the town's Handicraft shops) and be entertained by the talented singer, Ofa Ali.
Driving in Fiji is easy despite the somewhat neglected roads. A 4WD is highly recommended!
Fijians are truly amongst the most hospitable, genuine and easy going people you will ever meet. Family is very important, especially children!
If total and utter relaxation in true Fiji style is what you want, I highly, highly recommend 'Lomalagi'!! Do yourselves a favour!!
