Jean Michel Cousteau
Fiji Islands Resort

This award-winning Fiji Islands Resort is one of the most renowned vacation destinations in the South Pacific. Located on the island of Vanua Levu, the resort is situated on Savasavu Bay. Jean-Michel Cousteau Fiji Islands resort is the only resort that employs a full-time marine biologist to help visitors explore, understand and protect the reefs around Fiji. Our ethic at the Jean-Michel Cousteau Fiji Islands Resort is to take as little from the environment as possible, to give back as much as we can, and to respect others with whom we share this place. Jean-Michel's passion for the indigenous people of Fiji, their culture, traditions, warmth and natural hospitality have led him to create an eco-friendly resort with a unique environmental philosophy. Here we strive to maintain nature's perfect balance by respecting and participating in the living vitality of our environment.
