Likuliku Lagoon Resort Fiji Recognised with Condé Nast Traveler’s 2019 Readers’ Choice Award
Condé Nast Traveler announced the results of its annual Readers’ Choice Awards with Likuliku Lagoon Resort recognised as No. 5 in the Top 20 Resorts in Australia/Pacific. More than 600,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers across the globe submitted a recording-breaking number of responses rating their travel experiences to provide a full snapshot of where and how we travel today.
The Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards are the longest-running and most prestigious recognition of excellence in the travel industry and are commonly known as “the best of the best of travel.” Steve Anstey, Group general manager Ahura Resorts says: “After being recognised in this list before, this is once again significant recognition from Condé Nast readers and our loyal guests who voted our luxury adults-only Likuliku Lagoon Resort into the number Five position this year.
“The Condé Nast Readers Choice Awards have long been regarded as a leading, worldwide authority as far as travel awards go.
“It is generally much sought after to be included in this list and we’ve been honoured to be in this list before, so we are thrilled to acknowledge the number five position as a significant accomplishment for us. “We continue to be humbled and amazed to be recognised in this way.
“It is a wonderful achievement and a testament to the quality of the product offering we have and the consistent delivery of our promise to our guests. “Thank you to our incredible staff and of course, to all our valued guests for their continued support.” Ahura Resorts owner and managing director, Tony Whitton said: “Again, this is great news, especially due to the fact that we continue to have Fiji Resort experiences being counted amongst some of the best in the world and holding their own with other famous hotel and resort brands – some of whom are giants in the industry.
“We believe Likuliku has firmly established and filled a niche in Fiji on all things Fijian, from traditional Fijian architecture and experiences, to service delivery and unique product offerings – including Fiji’s first and only authentic over-water bures in a natural, ocean lagoon.
“We thank past guests, Condé Nast readers and the travel industry at large for this incredible accolade.”
