Everyone is asking me: "what's a bure?"

Bure is the Fijian word for a wood-and-straw hut, sometimes similar to a cabin.
In its original sense, a bure is a structure built of anything that comes to hand. The components of a bure are either stacked together, tied together by rope, or a combination of both methods.
Traditionally, ethnic Fijians lived in two types of houses; a vale was the family house, while men's houses (where circumcised males of the clan met, ate, and slept) were known as bures. Both of these buildings were dark and smoky inside, with no windows and usually only one low door.

In the Fijian tourism industry, the term bure is often synonymous with bungalow or any other detached hotel or resort structure. While a traditional bure has neither plumbing nor any amenities, and usually no electricity, a tourism bure will be of the same standard as its European equivalent. A tourism bure can range from fairly basic to extremely luxurious. Example
