SEVERAL resorts have invested heavily in providing state-of-the-art facilities for local and international guests including Turtle Island Resort on a private island in the Yasawa Group.
Boasting its newly constructed free standing Vonu spa, owner Richard Evanson said the addition of the spa completed the romantic and relaxing experience of Turtle Island.
"We know our guests' expectations will be exceeded when they try the new Vonu spa," he said.
The resort's airport branch manager, Rotishma Chand, said the spa was nestled along the island's famed Blue Lagoon and captured the gentle breeze from the South Pacific.
"Vonu is the Fijian name for turtle and these majestic creatures infuse serenity and peace into the surroundings of both the island and the new spa," she said yesterday.
"Keeping true to the sustainability history of Turtle Island, the world-class spa is constructed of hardwood grown mostly on the island and crafted by Fijian artisans and woodworkers to maintain an authentic Fijian look and feel."
She said an important feature of the spa, given its popularity as a wedding destination, was a dedicated bridal preparation room.
Ms Chand said they had 100 staff members and kept the spa investment cost confidential
