Vorovoro Island, Fiji
WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT VOROVORO?
Vorovoro is the smaller of two islands inhabited by the Mali tribe of Fiji. It is the treasured ancestral home of Tui (Chief) Mali and his extended family. Tui Mali and his family allow foreign visitors to experience their way of life through BTG programs.
SACRED
Deeply sacred to the Mali people, Vorovoro serves as a community gathering place and is the home of Tui Mali, their revered chief, who is our host and welcomes us to his island. In one of the most remote areas of Fiji, Vorovoro is a cultural heartland - one of the few places where traditional ceremonies, beliefs, and customs remain strong.


SIGNIFICANT
Archeological research on Vorovoro (conducted by Simon Fraser University) indicates that Vorovoro may have been the very first Lapita settlement within Fiji, c. 3000-3100 BCE, likely continuously settled ever since. Shards of ancient Lapita pottery may still be found in the sand to this day.
SERENE
Exclusive resorts always try to buy Vorovoro, and we can see why. Vorovoro is breathtakingly beautiful; densely forested volcanic crags give way to pristine beaches. This 200 acre paradise is nestled in northern Fiji along the Cakaulevu (Great Sea) Reef, offering unparalleled access to the third longest barrier reef in the world.
