AT MUSKET COVE WE CARE ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY
At Musket Cove, we care about the health and welfare of our employees, our guests, our community & our planet.
We are committed to providing a safe healthy work place by conserving energy & protecting our natural resources, for today and future generations.
Special consideration will always be given to employing and empowering our Fiji employees, and wherever possible, embrace environmentally sustainable, practices and locally sourced products and services.
Other community initiatives we are proud of are; Buy Fijian made - We are supporters of the “buy Fiji made” initiative and as such you will see items in our Boutique that are made, grown or sewn in Fiji and many that have come from, or support rural craft groups. We encourage you to consider the local crafted products over imported souvenir items.
Waste Management - All organic waste and papers are composted for use in the resort gardens. We operate a recycling program for tin cans, glass bottles and plastic bottles. With proceeds returned to our island community.
Kuita Trust - We offer our guests the opportunity to give a little to those less fortunate in Fiji. By donating F$5 per room per stay. Kuita is Fijian for octopus, which symbolises far and reaching. This trust operates to assist Fijians less fortunate in remote areas, no matter of race or creed. 100% of all donations are distributed.
