Lautoka, Viti Levu, Fiji: The Fiji Orchid; hotel review

Saweni Beach Rd., in Lautoka, 679 664 0099. 6 bures. No children under 12. Unheated pool; restaurant.

Located 15 minutes north of Nadi International Airport and 10 minutes south of Lautoka, and about a mile down a dirt road, the exceptional Fiji Orchid lodging features 5 acres of mature tropical gardens and is a good spot to spend the night before a flight, or to hire as a day room before or after a late night flight. Set in the foothills of the volcanic Nausori Highlands and close to Saweni Beach, one of Fiji's most beautiful stretches of sand and sea, it was once the estate home of Raymond Burr, who was famous for his role as TV’s Perry Mason. Burr was a connoisseur of orchids, and the property still has some (about six), but the majority have been moved to a nearby attraction—Garden of the Sleeping Giant.
