Savusavu Koro Sun 5-Day Fiji Itinerary

If Taveuni itinerary is on the “Garden Island” of Fiji then Savusavu is Fiji’s “Hidden Paradise.” Located on the second-largest island, Vanua Levu, Savusavu is a lush, vibrant town tucked into a deep-water bay that feels like a scene from a movie. This experience will be different from the Suva itinerary for sure.

At the center of this experience is Koro Sun Resort & Rainforest Spa. Whether you are sleeping in an Edgewater Floating Bure (Fiji’s only floating rooms!) or a villa tucked into the jungle canopy, Koro Sun offers a unique “land and sea” adventure.

The 5-Day Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival & The Rainforest Spa

Begin your trip by landing in Savusavu and taking that gorgeous, scenic shuttle right over to Koro Sun. Once you’re checked in around 2:00 PM, unpack your bags and get cozy in your bure—especially if you scored one of those Edgewater Floating Bures where your backyard is literally the crystal-clear lagoon.

For the afternoon, head on over to the Rainforest Spa. It’s tucked deep in the jungle right next to a rushing waterfall, and you’ve definitely got to try their signature Banana Leaf Body Wrap to detoxify with local ingredients. As the sun starts to go down, drop by the Manager’s Cocktail Party if it’s running, and then wrap up your first day with dinner at the Palm Grove Restaurant, where they serve up fresh dishes made straight from the resort’s own organic gardens.

Day 2: Salt Lake Kayaking & Split Rock

Start your morning out on the water kayaking through Fiji’s largest salt lake, where you’ll paddle past thick mangroves into a quiet, hidden inland world that feels totally untouched.

After that, take a quick 15-minute boat ride in the afternoon to Split Rock for some incredible snorkeling. You’ll get to swim right through a massive coral head split straight down the middle that’s packed with clownfish, parrotfish, and giant clams. Wrap up the day by kicking back with some casual sunset drinks at the Sand Bar while taking in the stunning views over the lagoon.

Day 3: Vuadomo Waterfall & Savusavu Town

In the morning take a 20-minute drive followed by an easy little jungle walk out to the stunning Vuadomo Waterfall, which is hands down the best spot for a refreshing freshwater swim. Just remember to dress modestly when you pass through the village on the way, and your resort guide can totally hook you up with a sulu to throw on.

For the afternoon, head on into Savusavu town to check out the Nakama Hot Springs, where you can actually watch locals cook up taro right in the boiling volcanic vents. While you’re in town, swing by the J. Hunter Pearls showroom to browse some of the rarest pearls on earth in gorgeous, earthy island shades like gold, pistachio, and chocolate.

Day 5: Departure

Settle in for one final breakfast and maybe squeeze in a quick round of golf on the resort’s 9-hole pitch and putt course before you pack up.

Once 10:00 AM rolls around, check out and hop on the resort shuttle back over to Savusavu Airport. Make sure you grab a window seat for the flight back to Nadi so you can snap one last photo of the lush “Hidden Paradise” from above as you head home.
