The InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort and Spa is welcoming all executives to take the opportunity to truly disconnect from their everyday pressures with the option to turn in their mobile phone at check in at the luxury resort and enjoy total seclusion and serenity during their stay.<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

From now until March 2014, the five star haven is offering Australian businesspeople the \u2018Ultimate Business Break\u2019 \u2013 a rare opportunity for busy professionals to literally switch off and immerse themselves in the holiday they truly deserve.\u00a0 That means no mobile phone, no Wi-Fi available to them and their very own personal Ikotani Butler to act as an Executive Assistant during their stay.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
With recent studies stressing that Australian workers often don\u2019t take the breaks they deserve, the Ultimate Business Break has been designed to provide the \u2018no excuses\u2019 solution for executives in desperate need of recharging their batteries with rest, relaxation, and self indulgence with a partner or friend.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\u201cWe want the best for our guests and having seen so many of our high-flying guests from Australia being taken away from quality time with family by their phone or a laptop, we want to offer them something truly revitalising.\u00a0 By giving professionals the option to hand in their phones and switch off their internet access at the onset of their holiday, in addition to the luxurious creature comforts of the Club InterContinental, we hope to help them have the truly relaxing holiday they want and need\u201d said Scott Williams, General Manager.<\/span><\/div>\n

As part of this compelling initiative, guests who are caught catching up on work emails or making business calls after choosing to disconnect while at the InterContinental Fiji are susceptible to \u2018pampering penalties\u2019 issued at the discretion of their Ikotani Butler.\u00a0 These range from spending an hour in the pool to enjoying cocktails and canap\u00e9s at sunset that night.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
