The InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa on Natadola Beach will open on June 1, 2009. Spread across 35 acres of tropical gardens, InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa is the sole destination resort on Natadola Beach -- the only stretch of natural, white sand beach on the main island of Fiji, Viti Levu. The smallest of InterContinental Fiji?s 216 rooms and suites is 65m2, much larger than other standard resort rooms in Fiji. Every room has a private terrace or balcony featuring a Cleopatra-style tub and day beds for two, and a Bose surround sound system, with contemporary interiors creating the understated elegance of an InterContinental resort. InterContinental Fiji has four swimming pools, including an adult-only infinity-edged pool, and a 105-meter family activity pool, its own on-site dive center, a recreation and beach activities center, volleyball, Pétanque lawn, yoga deck, the Meke entertainment lawn for indigenous and cultural shows, a full gym and fitness center, and on-site shopping and tour facilities. No less than five restaurants and bars complement an extensive range of destination dining options and in-room dining. The resort offers locally-inspired and international cuisines and ever-changing menus. Opening with the resort, the Natadola Bay par 72, 7,000 yard Golf Course alongside InterContinental Fiji will be the country?s first international competition standard course. Fifteen of its 18 holes hug the Coral Coast. There are also up to five different tee-off stages per hole. Other features of the resort include a spa and kids club and Club InterContinental at InterContinental Fiji, which will offer 55 hilltop villas -- many of which will feature individual plunge pools and spa baths. Club InterContinental is expected to open September 2009. For more information or reservations, visit www.intercontinental.com/fiji.
