Savusavu Facts

Founded before the signing of the Deed of Cession, Savusavu township on the shores of a large picturesque, deep water harbour was originally established as a centre for the sailing ships plying the coastline for cargoes of sandalwood and beche-de-mer, later it became the centre of the cotton boom. Today, Savusavu remains much as it did in its "heyday", the hustle and bustle of progress appears to have passed it by. Savusavu's economy now relies on copra and the township serves an area that constitutes the major coconut producing area of Fiji. (Similar to the Coral Coast resort area on the main island of Fiji). You may expect some rain between January and April but, even so, the sun is never far away.

Day temperatures range from 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit, year around. The water is perfectly safe to drink, telephone communication is reliable world wide, there is a modern hospital, and the roads are amongst the best in Fiji.
