About

Our Story

 home made for slowing down, on the island we love.

THE NAME

Cadra Ni Vula

A peaceful island escape in the heart of Matei, Taveuni. Warm sunny days between 24 and 28°C, a relaxed tropical atmosphere and the sea just steps from the coast — a place built, quite simply, for unwinding and rediscovering island time.

Your Host

Meet Mark

Easy-going, fun-loving and endlessly curious about the world, Mark has made Taveuni his home and Cadra Ni Vula his labour of love. He built the villa to share the island he adores — its warmth, its calm, and its slow, generous rhythm.

He’s on hand when you need him and invisible when you don’t — arranging a dive, recommending the quiet beach, or simply leaving you to the pool and the view. Whatever makes your stay effortless, consider it done.
