Suva Bure

About the Bure

Suva is the capital and largest city of Fiji, located on the island of Viti Levu. The traditional bure is a thatched-roof hut that represents indigenous Fijian architecture and cultural identity. These distinctive structures with their steeply pitched roofs made from dried pandanus leaves are iconic to the Pacific islands, embodying the sustainable building practices and communal living traditions of the iTaukei (indigenous Fijian) people.
