Yasawa Islands 

A holiday to the Yasawa Islands is like living on a deserted island, in the best way possible! Stretching 80 kilometres across the northwest coast of Viti Levu, the Yasawa Group is comprised of around 20 volcanic islands. Despite their remoteness, the Yasawa Islands can be easily reached from Nadi, either via a 20-minute flight or a two-hour boat transfer. Blessed with dramatic peaks, long stretches of sandy beach and clear sapphire blue waters, the Yasawa Islands are perhaps best known for being the filming location of the 1980 Hollywood film, The Blue Lagoon. Head to the Yasawa Islands to discover a wilder side of Fiji. 

Some of the Yasawa Island’s best attractions can be found underwater. The island chain is home to some of Fiji’s best snorkelling and diving spots, many of which can be accessed directly from the beach. Of course, there are plenty of other adventures to be had in the Yasawa Islands. Explore the limestone caverns of the Sawa-i-Lau caves, swim with manta rays off the coast of Drawaqa Island, hike spectacular coastal walking tracks or connect with local islanders with a visit to a traditional village. However, the best way to explore the Yasawa Islands is via boat. Set sail on a multi-day journey through this sensational island chain or, if you’re short on time, hop aboard a day cruise to some of the various islands.

The Yasawa Islands spoil for choice when it comes to accommodation options. Ranging from affordable, eco-style beachfront bungalows to luxurious five-star resorts, there is something for every budget. No matter where you choose to stay, expect your accommodation to boast refreshing swimming pools, restaurants serving authentic Fijian cuisine, and plenty of water sports and activities to keep you entertained.
