Check out a great little secret

First Landing
Tuesday, May 01, 2012

First Landing is a unique little resort on the mainland with that small island feel. This unexpected paradise is set on seven acres of lush tropical gardens along a westerly facing beach with a great restaurant.

First Landing started as beachside restaurant in 1995 and the resort started several years later in 1999. Legend recalls the arrival of the early Fijians on the beach at First Landing, which is shown in the First Landing logo depicting a warrior leaping out of the canoe on to the beach. First Landing has been known for the famous "left foot island" which does commemorate this early arrival of the Fijians. First Landing is a small tranquil resort for that relaxing getaway. Friendly staff always offers that personal Fijian service. First Landing has a fulltime wedding and functions co-ordinator and does many local weddings and functions because of its personalised service in a natural environment on the beach.

The resort's "Dream On" spa uses all Pure Fiji products. There are daily activities at the resort and daily boat trips leave from the resort's jetty to nearby Mamanuca Islands.

Their 'Mai Kana' restaurant features an extensive menu to suit everyone's taste and has reasonable prices for food and drinks. Mai Kana chef, Daz ensures a good selection of fresh seafood, local cuisines, great steaks, salads, pizzas and vegetarian dishes, just to name a few. As the weather is nice most of the time in the West, dining at Mai Kana is outside on beach under coconut trees with a magnificent view of the nearby Mamanuca Islands, especially at sunset. At night relax to the soothing songs at First Landing.

Accommodation at the resort has something for everyone, choose the timber bure with hardwood floors, or the private villas with their own swimming pool or the newly completed ocean view apartments. So when you want the real Fiji, come on down to First Landing, relax and enjoy.
