"Vatulele represents the ultimate honeymoon hideaway. An island paradise whose spirit will remain with you forever."

The development of a perfect tropical escape was the vision of Emmy-award winning Australian television producer Henry Crawford, and his creative partner, Martin Livingston, a fifth generation European Fijian.

The result is Vatulele (pronounced 'Vah-too-lay-lay'), on one of the southern islands of the Fijian group.

The essence of Vatulele is romantic, a stark contrast to the pragmatic commercial language of most resorts.

In keeping with the owners' philosophy of creating a total escape, there are no money transactions on the island, and no telephones, newspapers, radios or television.
