Tuva Village Courtyard
|
The Heart of Natadola
This proposed commercial and community core will be sited
east of the Natadola Beach and will front Tuva River. It will
be designed as an activity centre for the NMR and will incorporate
commercial activities that would serve the day-to-day needs
of the resort’s residents and visitors. Its location
close to the beach and the Tuva River means that it will partly
be enclosed by attractive natural water features. It is expected
that some of the centre’s architecture, in terms of
its vertical built form, would be visible from the Maro Road
approach to the NMR.
Tuva Village Facilities

Whilst Tuva Lagoon Centre could help to establish a distinct
architectural and design theme for the NMR, the character
of the site is different from elsewhere in the resort and,
consequently, there should be a design style that also reflects
the uniqueness of this particular location.
It is envisaged that Tuva Lagoon Centre would comprise a
retail, leisure and entertainment precinct that would include
a variety of shops and restaurants, a village market area,
a cultural entertainment facility and large meeting space.
In addition to these uses it is important to provide some
residential accommodation both adjacent to and within the
centre, to support both the vitality and the viability of
this commercial core. It is also proposed that facilities
such as health care, tourist information and a local community
office be located here. There will also be a public square
that will front Natadola Beach which would provide a visual
and physical link between the beachfront and Tuva Lagoon Centre.

Restricted vehicle access will be permitted for visitors
who can park just minutes away from the village and hop on
the Bula Bus to complete their journey to Tuva Village. Or
you can use the railway link that will be available.
Tuva Village Centre will be the heart of the Natadola Marine
Resort, set on some 20 acres of land looking out on Tuva and
Natadola Bays. Tuva Village will be a place that’s open
to all – tourists and locals – with the best apartments,
restaurants and retailers around.
Situated right next to the InterContinental Resort Fiji,
which is under construction, Tuva Village will be a community
unlike any other, with access to Natadola Beach, considered
one of the world’s most spectacular.

Tuva Village will be a place to meet friends to have a coffee,
shop, relax. The village’s facilities will be available
for both visitors and Natadola occupants.
Still in the development design stage, Tuva Village will
tentatively have three restaurant spaces, three retail spaces
and about 40 apartments.
