We aren't thinking about a nice neat kidney or square patch of blue here. We are talking serious water that wends its way around the outline of luxury suites and villas. Terracing, fountains, tunnels, and all manner of foliage and landscaping aren't out of the question. In fact, they are merely the beginnings of serious pool culture with swim-out suites and swim-up bars and who knows what next.
We suggest booking one of the Swim-Up suites with king sized beds, where, ironically you get a private plunge pool so that you can have some personal space away from the throng.
Decisions, decisions. Do you stare beneath the water at the Cattleya Orchid made of millions of mosaic tiles, that span the bottom of the pool or out to the stunning views across Diamond Head?
The ocean may envelope this latest Fijian 'It' island with its own endless blue, but that hasn't halted the creators of Laucala (pronounced Lau-thala) Island from maxing-out the water experiences.
