Review of Navutu Dreams Resorts and Spa

This is truly, genuinely, passionately a wellness retreat. To start, they have 3 pools. I know, I could have stopped right there. An Italian family opened the Navutu Resort on the Fiji island and added this Cambodian one a few years ago. They offer yoga sessions, acupuncture, mediation, reiki and many other holistic treatments. My favourite, there is zero plastic use: the toothbrushes are made of wood (if you didn t know, in Asia hotels give complimentary toothbrushes), soaps and shampoos are in locally handmade ceramic containers, the bins have biodegradable cassava bags, upon arrival you receive stainless steel water bottles and throughout the resort there are water refill stations, etc. Water comes from their well, is then treated with UV. Our four-day stay was heaven in our massive suite, surrounded by lush gardens full of palm trees, bougainvillea and frangipani flowers. And the food? Tasty, healthy, sustainable and beautifully presented. It is often said, but here the attention to detail is superb. The staff is super friendly, in a professional but more casual/personable way. I love this.
