The word Yasawa means "Heaven" in Fijian, and the resort lives up to its namesake by offering "splendid isolation." There are no televisions, no traffic, and no other resorts on this part of the island—just the sound of the Pacific. Member of the prestigious Luxury Collection, it is famed for its "unlimited private picnics" where guests are dropped off at one of 10 deserted beaches with a hamper and a radio. The resort maintains a deep connection with the local culture; the staff mostly hail from nearby villages, and the choir from the local church often performs for guests. It is a destination for those who want five-star luxury served with authentic Fijian warmth.
Accommodations & Design Each of the 18 bures is air-conditioned and hidden among tropical greenery for maximum privacy, featuring local timbers and traditional thatched roofs.
Deluxe Beachfront Bures (10): Massive free-standing units (1,450 sq. ft.) with a split-level design that creates separate living and sleeping areas.
Lomalagi Honeymoon Bure (Primary Suite): Located at the very end of the beach for total seclusion, "Lomalagi" (Heaven) features its own private horizon pool, an expansive tropical garden, and a private path to the beach. It includes a double shower and a Bose sound system.
Two-Bedroom Bure: Perched on a rise for elevated views, this is the only unit with two separate bedrooms flanking a central living area—perfect for two couples or a family.
Amenities & Inclusions The Yasawa tariff is highly inclusive, designed to minimize "incidental" stress:
Gastronomy: All gourmet meals and non-alcoholic beverages are included. The menu changes daily, focusing on seafood like succulent lobster caught in the local reefs.
Private Picnics: Unlimited use of the resort's 10 private beaches for secluded lunches.
Adventures: Weekly excursions to the famous Sawa-I-Lau Caves (Blue Lagoon), guided nature walks, village visits, and snorkeling trips are included.
Wellness: The Baravi Spa is Fiji’s first beachfront spa, where you can hear the ocean during treatments. An "Ultimate Spa Bonus" is available for a flat fee (~$250) for daily treatments.
How Private Is This Island? Accessible via a private airstrip that is off-limits to other travelers, the resort is a self-contained world. The beach is so expansive that even at full capacity, you can walk for miles without meeting another guest. For high-profile visitors, the Lomalagi Bure offers a "fortress of solitude" at the beach's edge. Security is inherent in its geography—the island is a long, thin slip of land where the ocean and the reef act as a natural barrier to the outside world.
