Waikatakata Hot Springs near Savusavu on Vanua Levu, Fiji's second-largest island, are bicarbonate thermal springs in a region already famous for its exceptional concentration of geothermal activity — Savusavu's harbour boasts hot springs bubbling directly from the sea floor, and the town is known as Fiji's 'hidden paradise' for its lush copra plantation landscape, pearl farming industry, and dramatic mountain scenery. The Waikatakata springs provide bathing and thermal experiences in a tropical setting characteristic of Vanua Levu's unspoiled interior, where village life, traditional Fijian culture, and extraordinary natural environments coexist with minimal tourist infrastructure. Savusavu's geothermal heritage, including harbour floor springs used to cook food and Waikatakata's bathing pools, has shaped the town's identity as one of the Pacific's most distinctive natural wellness destinations.
