Shopping, Dining and Nightlife on Vanua Levu
Shopping Shopping in Savusavu produces some of the cheapest bargains in Fiji if you buy locally made items. Handcrafts, fabrics and casual clothing are the best buys. Locally made coconut soap is pressed from coconut oil harvested from Namale Plantation. Savusavu Pearl Farm, which grows export quality black pearls, offers tours for visitors. These can be arranged from their factory next to the Savusavu Brewery, in front of the Hot Springs Hotel.
Dining and NightlifeNightlife is very low key. The Copra Shed and the Waterfront on Savusavu’s main street provide the evening’s entertainment. They are particularly busy when the yachts are visiting during the winter months. Pizza at the Copra Shed is great value, as are the little Indian restaurants along the main street. Savusavu Brewery is located in front of the Hot Springs Hotel. They make a selection of tasty organic brews which can be bought at the bars around Savusavu. Savusavu Yacht Club is a good place to meet up with the local expats.
