DAILY MAIL ONLINE 12 March 2020 – ‘I wish I had some friends here to invite over,’ I told the buggy driver, as I was dropped off outside my cavernous villa.
I’d landed at Nanuku in Fiji – an Auberge Resorts Collection property voted the best resort in Australia and the South Pacific in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2019 Readers’ Choice Awards. And in a bid to show me ‘how the other half live’ (and the fact it was very quiet at the hotel following a cyclone) I’d been upgraded to a one-bedroom beachfront pool residence.
The luxury two-storey lodge, designed in typical South Pacific-style with a thatched palm roof and dark wood beams, costs an eye-watering FJD$4,250 (£1,488) per night, so I was keen to investigate what the perks of this price tag would be.
