Yasawa Islands

Naqalia Lodge is a small, community-owned beachfront lodge on Wayasewa (Waya Lailai) in Fiji's Yasawa Islands. It was built by the Tagova clan using local artisans, with the aim of sharing their corner of the Yasawas with visitors, and remains a traditional, family-run stay with bures set close to the water. Rates typically include island transfers, daily housekeeping, a breakfast buffet, afternoon tea and Fijian-style meals prepared by the lodge. Guests can snorkel, kayak, hike the island's ridges, explore sea caves, and dive or free-dive the many sites nearby. The lodge also hosts intimate beach weddings, vow renewals and honeymoons, with the whole property available for private buyout and coordination by the resident host family.

Botaira Beach Resort is a small beachfront resort on Naviti Island in the Yasawa Islands, with twelve bures — seven directly on the beach and five set back in the garden. It runs on an all-inclusive basis with family-style dining and an evening bar, and offers snorkelling, kayaking and reef diving in the surrounding waters. The resort hosts small, intimate beach weddings in a traditional Fijian setting.

Coralview Island Resort is an island resort on Tavewa Island in the Nacula region of the Yasawa Islands, around 90 km north-west of Lautoka. It offers beachfront accommodation with a house-reef marine reserve for snorkelling, plus kayaking, hilltop walks, beach volleyball, weaving and cultural experiences, trips to the Sawa-i-Lau caves, and fishing and island-hopping charters; meals are provided on a full-board basis. Relaxed and remote, it suits travellers wanting an authentic Yasawa island stay and can arrange small weddings.

Octopus Resort sits on Waya Island in the Yasawa group, set along Liku Liku Bay with a white-sand beach and a house reef just offshore. One of the longer-established resorts in the Yasawas, it keeps close ties with the neighbouring Fijian village and blends barefoot island living with a wide spread of accommodation, from a backpacker dorm and garden bures through to beachfront suites and one, two and three-bedroom family villas. Guests dine at the Donu restaurant and bar, unwind at the Sulua Spa and use the pool and Kids Club. A PADI dive centre runs certifications and reef dives, alongside snorkelling, seasonal manta ray encounters and trips to the Sawa-i-Lau caves. Traditional Fijian wedding ceremonies can be arranged on the beach.

Mantaray Island Resort is set on Nanuya Balavu Island in Fiji's Yasawa Islands, a remote northwest archipelago. Accommodation spans a wide range, from budget-friendly Paradise dorms to reef, seaside, family and tree house bures and beachfront villas, giving it appeal to backpackers, couples and families alike. The resort runs an SSI dive centre and dive school with more than 40 dive sites reachable within about twenty minutes, offering try dives and certification for all levels. Its restaurant serves continental breakfasts, a la carte lunches and three-course dinners built around fresh, locally inspired Fijian and international dishes. The signature experience is snorkelling with manta rays in a protected marine park, alongside reef snorkelling, diving, paddleboarding, spa treatments, village visits and island treks. Its scale and dorm-to-villa mix suit small groups and activity-focused incentive travel.

Nanuya Island Resort sits on the sunset side of Nanuya Lailai Island in Fiji's Yasawa Islands, a remote white-sand and blue-lagoon setting in the northern island chain. Accommodation is tiered to suit different budgets, from traditional treetop Fijian bures to superior, deluxe and luxury private villas. The resort offers dining and spa services alongside the water-based and island activities the Yasawas are known for. It lists a dedicated Celebrations section for weddings and events and a Meetings section within its resort facilities, indicating capacity for small groups and residential gatherings. The mix of villa accommodation, an island location and event and meeting options makes it suitable for couples, small incentive groups and intimate destination weddings away from the busier mainland resorts.
