Vavavi Cooking & CULTURAL Experience
Our Story
Our story is as much about family as it is about Fijian culture. We are not just a business; we are a small, family-owned and operated venture, and this is where our journey begins.
The lovo, or earth oven, holds a significance in Fijian culture, representing a connection to tradition, community, and a deep reverence for the land.
This connection to our heritage inspired the birth of Vavavi - born out of our love for our homeland and a burning desire to introduce the world to the wonders of Fiji. We pour our hearts and souls into every aspect of your experience, ensuring that you feel like an extended member of our family from the moment you join us.
