Bure (Fiji)

Bure is the Fijian word for a wood-and-straw hut, sometimes similar to a cabin.

The components of a bure are either stacked together, tied together by rope, or a combination of both methods.

Vales had hearth pits where the women cooked, and the packed earth floor was covered with grass or fern leaves and then carpeted with pandanus leaf or coarse coconut leaf mats.

[1] Especially in the Fijian tourism industry and its advertisements, the term "bure" is often synonymous with "bungalow" or any other detached hotel or resort structure.

A tourism bure can range from fairly basic to extremely luxurious.
