Palm Grove - A beachfront and garden bungalow resort with Pacific cuisine and cultural experiences
Thirteen garden bungalows set among hibiscus and tipani flowers complement nine beachfront bungalows along a secluded beach at Palm Grove. The resort features self-contained units with kitchens, private terraces, and ocean or mountain views, alongside air-conditioned beachfront villas with BBQs.

Guests can experience coconut tree climbing demonstrations, cultural tours to Highland Paradise, and snorkeling in the lagoon. Motorbike rentals, a 30-minute bus service, and proximity to Wigmore's Waterfall (0.5 km) and Muri Beach (5 minutes' drive) add convenience.
