Emaho Sekawa Resort

English version: This place is a hidden gem! Due to a minor mix-up, we had to change our arrival airport from Savusavu to Labasa at very short notice. Despite this, they quickly arranged for a driver to meet us at the new airport – an impressive display of flexibility. When we finally arrived, we were absolutely blown away by the breathtaking view that greeted us. The spectacular scenery, warm smiles, and refreshing welcome drinks set the tone for our stay. Every detail here is thoughtfully taken care of. The food is delightful and can be enjoyed either in your villa or in the cozy communal area, always accompanied by the stunning views. The staff’s attentiveness and friendliness truly make a difference – they have a way of making you feel at home while being completely pampered. The variety of complimentary activities is a huge plus, and we highly recommend trying as many as you can – it’s a fantastic way to make the most of your time here. We wholeheartedly recommend this place to couples or groups of friends looking for an intimate, idyllic retreat where everyone can enjoy their own private oasis. Danish version: Dette sted er en skjult perle! På grund af en mindre misforståelse blev vi nødt til at ændre vores ankomst fra Savusavu til Labasa med meget kort varsel. Til trods for dette sørgede de hurtigt for en chauffør, der ventede på os ved den nye ankomstlufthavn – en imponerende fleksibilitet. Da vi endelig nåede frem, blev vi fuldstændig overvældede af det smukke syn, der mødte os. Den spektakulære udsigt, varme velkomst med smil og forfriskende drinks satte tonen for vores ophold. Oplevelsen her er gennemført i alle detaljer. Maden er en fornøjelse, og den kan nydes både i ens villa eller i det hyggelige fællesområde, alt sammen med samme imponerende udsigt. Personalets opmærksomhed og venlighed gør virkelig en forskel – de har en evne til at få dig til at føle dig hjemme og samtidig forkælet. De mange gratis aktiviteter er en kæmpe bonus, og vi anbefaler, at man prøver så mange som muligt – det er en fantastisk måde at få mest muligt ud af stedet. Vi vil varmt anbefale dette sted til både par og grupper af venner, der leder efter et intimt, idyllisk retreat, hvor alle kan finde ro og nyde hver deres private oase.

When we first arrived in Nadi and mentioned we were going to Savusavu, every local we spoke to told us that Savusavu was called the "hidden paradise", we had no idea how true this statement was! It started with the stunning scenery during the short domestic flight from Nadi airport, the warm greeting at Savusavu airport from Sala and Kele, the beautiful drive thru some of the villages on Vanua Levu to Sekawa Beach Estate where we arrived to an absolutely jaw dropping view of the rainforest and the south pacific! As we exited the vehicle we were welcomed by the entire Emaho team with a lovely song as we enjoyed some refreshing coconut water. Shortly after we were escorted to our villa. We stayed in Villa Emaho (Tip: do yourself a favour and book this one if you can). The attention to detail and how beautifully everything was designed to blend seamlessly to harmonize with the natural surroundings and maximize the stunning panoramic views yet still provide the ultimate in privacy... we were absolutely blown away. There truly are no words to describe just how beautiful and magical this place is. What stands out even more than the stunning beauty of the retreat, it's location and the amazing views is the Emaho team who are the warmest, kindest, friendliest, lovely, hard working people we have ever had the pleasure of getting to know. We got married (eloped) during our stay, this is not something Emaho Sekawa typically does they advised, but fortunately they made an exception for us. Again we were blown away, the entire team worked so so hard and were so excited to be part of our special day and what a special day it was indeed! We let the talented team at Emaho plan all of the details (we wanted to be surprised) our only request was that they entire team joined us and shared in the celebration. OMG it was BEAUTIFUL!!! The pre wedding massage and body scrub, the preparation of our wedding cloths, the flowers and decorations, the warriors, the choir, our best man and maid of honour (Kele and Sala), the DJ (Lo), the kava ceremony that went on for hours ("high tide" :)) the beautiful wedding cake and the FOOD prepared by the chef and his team (they made a lovo for us ) so much food and so delicious. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank the entire team at Emaho Sekawa for all your hard work and making our time in Fiji beyond anything we could have imagined. We could go on forever about how wonderful Emaho Sekawa Retreat and the team are, do yourself a favour and book this place now, we cannot wait to return... I wish it was closer (we live in Canada). (Note to Emaho: You totally should do wedding/elopements because you do the EXCEPTIONALLY WELL!!) Chantelle, Lo, Loi, Vinka, Titi (aka Queen Elizabeth) Sala, Kele, Nonni (we are sorry if we missed anyone) a giant Vinaka Vaka Levu from Mike and I. You have a special place and a special team that have captured our hearts and we love you all. PS please give Kitty (aka Captain Jack) a cuddle from us xx

Emaho Sekawa is a total gem. Fijian warmth and hospitality was on full display from the warm welcome ceremony to the heartwarming goodbye song. The staff (Sala, Kele, Vika, Titi, Loi, Loa, Eine) were top notch. They were attentive and accommodating at every turn, offering the highest level of personalized service you could imagine. They showed genuine interest in making sure we enjoyed every moment of our stay. They were very knowledgeable and generously shared their culture and many hidden gems to fulfill our activity requests, which we truly enjoyed (sea kayaking, snorkeling, sand island, mud bath and waterfalls, cocoa plantation tour). The property itself is spectacular, with breathtaking ocean and mountain views. Villa Emaho offered total luxury, peace, and tranquility in paradise. The villa was spotlessly clean and well appointed. Everything was in great working order and housekeeping/laundry upon request made our stay very comfortable. The food and service were superb. Each day, we were able to pick our own meal times and dishes that featured fresh, local ingredients. We also had the option to have our meals served in our villa or at the bar. Again, accommodations were freely available, including for dietary restrictions. We were there to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday and the chef even made us a delicious gluten free birthday cake with cassava flour! Our stay at Emaho Sekawa was truly the trip of a lifetime thanks to the warm and generous staff and unparalleled natural beauty/location overlooking paradise.
