OUR STORY
Savusavu
From a bustling copra port to one of the South Pacific's most welcoming coastal communities, Savusavu's story has always been shaped by the sea.
Long before it became known for its world-class cruising, diving and natural beauty, Savusavu was an important trading port on Fiji's northern coast. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, ships regularly called to collect copra—the dried kernel of coconuts—which was one of Fiji's most valuable exports. The sheltered deep-water harbour provided a safe anchorage for merchant vessels and helped establish Savusavu as a centre for trade throughout Vanua Levu. As the copra industry declined, the town evolved, welcoming farmers, tourism operators, sailors and entrepreneurs drawn by its remarkable natural setting. Today, Savusavu is a close-knit community where Fijian traditions, cultural diversity and maritime heritage continue to shape everyday life. While much has changed over the years, the harbour remains the heart of the town, welcoming visitors from around the world just as it has for generations.
