Papageno Resort is a small intimate beach resort in Malawai Bay on the north coast of Kadavu. Access is by boat only adding to the intimacy of this resort. The resort is aimed primarily at cultural travellers and scuba divers and prides itself on its organic gardens and home style atmosphere. Non motorised water activities are free of charge and daily diving trips to the Astrolabe Reef can be arranged.
Accommodation is in either one of four Garden Rooms or seven bures. The rooms are located at the back of the property facing a small stream and backed by tropical rain forest. The Oceanfront Bures are located in amongst a coconut plantation with landscaped gardens and are set back about 15 metres from the beachfront. Ocean bures are well spaced apart and offer several different configurations from couples to groups or families. All rooms and bures are fully serviced and have ceiling fans and screen windows.
Papageno has a picturesque beach although the lagoon is shallow at low tide. The resort offers excellent diving with some excellent dive sites offshore as well as access to the world acclaimed soft corals of the Astrolabe Reef. Diving is offered on one of four boats including a new 28ft specialist dive boat; the resort has new Scubapro BCDS, REGs and gear. Apart from diving, game fishing is excellent, there are lots of soft adventure activities and cultural appreciation is encouraged - Kadavu is home to several endemic species and the rare Kadavu Shining Parrots are commonly seen in the gardens.
