The Most Luxurious Stays in Vava’u
A special place like Vava’u deserves a special place to stay. Whether it’s on the sandy shores of a private island resort or in your own modern apartment on the main island, there’s something to suit a range of discerning travellers in Vava’u. However, there’s no such thing as a “five-star” resort in Vava’u (or Tonga for that matter), so it’s best you set your expectations right before booking. The real luxury is in the beautiful locations and once-in-a-lifetime experiences available. Check out some of the most premium stays in the islands in this list of the best luxury accommodations in Vava’u! While you’re here, you might also be interested in The Luxury Guide to Vava’u.

1. The Reef Resort
Miles ahead of any other resort in Vava’u when it comes to luxury, The Reef Resort is a top choice for those looking for modern comforts and sensational cuisine. Five bungalows are scattered among the gardens and directly on the beach of Kapa Island, providing a tranquil retreat for guests. Bungalows feature a king canopy bed and an extra single or two bedrooms with a king and a queen. Dining is easily the main event here as European Polynesian cuisine is prepared by decorated German or Swiss chefs. Such dining experiences are welcome, especially after hiking over the island to the breathtaking bay of Port Mourelle or making use of the kayaks, a clear-bottom kayak, SUP boards and a Hobie cat to explore the surrounding waters and nearby Japanese Coral Garden – see the 10 Best Places to Snorkel in Vava’u to learn more.
