The
meaning of ‘Lomani’ is simply ‘In
Love’ in Fijian. We created Lomani for
others to enjoy our initial Fijian experience.
 We
discovered this piece of paradise whilst on
our honeymoon in 2006. We enjoyed a few days
at Anthony Robbins Resort ‘Namale’
on Vanua Levu (the island seen across the Somosomo
Straits from Lomani). We then travelled to Taveuni
to enjoy a private property in contrast to a
resort.
It
was here that we discovered the opportunity
to create Lomani.
We
have styled Lomani on what we would look for
in a private property, that is privacy, luxury,
ambience, space and charm. Furthermore, achieving
the balance between enjoying a unique natural
experience and yet not wanting for anything
at all.
Our
dream was created with you in mind.
You
will find Lomani truly is a unique romantic
paradise.
We
hope you enjoy an enchanting and memorable stay
at Lomani.
Facilities
Lomani is set on two acres of beautiful gardens
and is a luxurious cottage offering one bedroom
with a four poster king size bed (covered by
a mosquito net). Leading from the bedroom is
a bathroom, toilet and outdoor double  headed
stone shower.
The
bedroom also leads on to a living area with
all modern conveniences, ie TV, DVD, stereo
and a range of games, books, DVD movies and
music.
Both
the bedroom and living area lead onto a spacious
deck which extends along the front of the cottage
and offers magnificent views out across the
Somosomo Straits.
There
is a large kitchen which provides views over
the Somosomo Straits to the east and south east
and opens up onto the deck overlooking the infinity
edge pool. The kitchen has a dining area and
is fully equipped with all cooking and eating
utensils including rice cooker, wok, blender,
fruit juice maker and BBQ on the deck.
The
bedroom, kitchen and living room all have ceiling
fans and multiple louvred windows and louvred
doors all of which have fly wire cover.
 The
cottage is furnished in traditional locally
made Fijian furniture.
The
swimming pool is 3 x 4 mts and is at the corner
of the deck with infinity edges overlooking
the water.
All
linen and towels are provided.
There
is a second bathroom at the rear of the kitchen
which also has a washing machine for your use
during your stay.

The

 There
are three major, distinct diving areas around
the island. To the north of Taveuni lie in close
proximity the islands of Qamea and Matagi with
their surrounding reef systems. The Rainbow
Reef and Vuna Reef are famous for diving and
snorkeling, respectively. The Rainbow Reef,
on the western side in the narrow strait between
Taveuni and Vanua Levu (ie in front of Lomani!),
are known as one of the world's premier soft
coral dive areas. The horseshoe shaped Vuna
Lagoon, near the southern end of the island,
is much appreciated among divers for the opportunity
to see larger pelagic and schooling fish species
on the exposed southern side of the reef, whereas
the sheltered western parts provide pristine
soft and hard coral gardens.
Some of the more popular dives at the Rainbow
Reef in front of Lomani include the Great White
Wall and Little White Wall, named for their
luminescent white coral; Rainbows End, with
an incredible gardens of multi-colored soft
corals; and 3 Bommies, made up of three giant
coral towers or "bommies" that rise
up  from
the sea floor to within 12 meters of the surface.
As you would expect, there are a number of certified
dive operators on Taveuni catering to beginners
through experienced professionals.
