80 TIME September 3–10, 2018

Six Senses Fiji is on

Malolo Island(right),

which is 20 miles of

the coast of Fiji

It’s a rare indulgence

that feels altruistic. And

Six Senses Fiji, which

opened in April, is deinitely

indulgent: guests can lounge

on white-sand beaches, enjoy

heated lava-shell massages and

24-karat-gold-leaf facials and

also explore reefs under crystal-

clear Paciic waters, with room

rates starting at about $940

per night. But the resort is

also committed to keeping Fiji

pristine. Its facilities are 100%

solar-powered, and its food

waste fertilizes a working farm,

which grows ingredients for

meals prepared by private chefs.

Management also prioritizes

hiring Fijian tourism students,

and rooms are stocked with

goods made by women in

isolated communities via an

NGO program to help them

achieve inancial self-suiciency.

Most guests choose to arrive by

speedboat or helicopter, since

the resort is on Malolo Island,

which is 20 miles of the coast of

Fiji. For those who really want to

make an entrance, there’s also an

option to skydive.—Eli Meixler

MAKING OLD

THRILLS NEW

Brazilian chef Alex
Atala opened his
latest São Paulo
eatery with a
promise to patrons
(low prices) and a
challenge to staff:
strive to reduce
the food waste to
zero. So far, Bio is
succeeding on both
counts. Most menu
items are under $15,
and “every day, we
ind new ways to use
more ingredients,”
says chef Raúl Godoy.
Among them: making
pesto with discarded
avocado pits instead
of pine nuts, and
roasting papaya and
watermelon seeds to
make dry spice rubs.

Tivoli Gardens, the
world’s third-oldest
theme park, irst
opened in 1843.
But it continues to
innovate—most
notably with the
Fatamorgana, a
irst-of-its-kind
148-ft. tower that’s
actually three rides in
one. The tower spins
at two speeds (one
for dizzying thrills,
one for scenic views),
and at its base are
bumper cars. It’s one
of several attractions
Tivoli has opened
to mark its 175th
anniversary.
