Yasawa Island Resort & Spa

We have had a wonderful stay at Yasawa resort so far. We have only 2 days left and the end is coming too soon. The staff and the Yasawa family truly want you to relax and enjoy this place. And we have. Everything from the daily included activities to the 3 spectacular meals a day far exceeded our expectations. This is a remote island and resort and that is what we wanted. This means the beach right in front of the resort is never full of people and the snorkeling spots walking distance away is always empty. Just waiting for you 🥰 We. Will. Be. Back.

We LOVED Yasawa Island Resort. My wife and I came to re-do our honeymoon as part of an anniversary trip. We tried to make it to this paradise a few years ago but sadly faced a cyclone on the second day of our trip, so we had to leave and miss out on this absolutely breathtaking piece of fiji. Due to a flight delay, we also ended up missing out on our first (out of 5) days on this subsequent visit. Nonetheless, we rate it as 5 star and can't speak more highly about the experience. Shoutout to Jope who was warm, friendly, welcoming, exciting, and a do-er! He went out of his way to make sure that our requests/interests were met. For example, we did the spa package (incredible offer. For a fixed price you get one massage per day for every day of your stay), and he gave us an extra massage for the day we had missed (so we had two treatments one of the days). I had dreamed of going to the beach on the photo of the hotel for years, and it was going to be difficult to do because of a dive we had scheduled. However, Jope made it happen for us. We wanted to have a beach picnic on a separate day that would have made it a tight schedule given we had another activity planned....Jope made it happen. Thank you Jope for all of your help during our wonderful stay, vinaka! The staff at Yasawa Island Resort also deserves a shout out. Vinaka!!! They are so happy to serve, to help, to make sure you have an amazing stay. The food is delicious (note that the seafood platter day is by far one of the best meal experience you will likely have anywhere), the accommodations are spacious (we stayed at a deluxe beach bure. Note that there is AC and fans but if you like your room to be a freezer this is not the type of place where you can do that. The temperature gets cool enough). The experiences/activities are sooooo fun! We went snorkeling, diving, to the lagoon caves, and did several picnics. Can't speak more highly of this experience. Though you will only be able to connect to your phone in the lobby, turns out at the end of your time you will be SO happy you got to disconnect. My wife and I loved to be in FIJI time at this hotel and to take things easily, never be in a rush, and slow down. For those looking for a luxurious experience in an isolated environment in a laidback, restorative, warm, friendly, and beautiful beachfront location, this is the hotel for you. The hotel employs mostly locals, supports the development of nearby communities, and does an incredible job highlighting its roots. Hopefully next time we come we can enjoy every single day of our intended vacation! Of note you are very far from anything and therefore can't expect the hotel to be like if it was a hotel on the mainland. I'm surprised to read a lot of bad reviews...if those people read what people have said about the hotel they may have had a different experience or perhaps would have been better going elsewhere.

How could anyone gives this resort ... less than 5 stars rating ? It is an island truly Heaven! Our experience was phenomenal. This is the tropics you have to expect a few ants,and harmless house geckos. The exterior brue`s and landscaping is in great shape and sensational! The food was plentiful and delicious,wonderful expert plating! By Mira a 19 year old evening chef! Wow! Wife and I each gained five pounds. All the bar and restaurant staff were amazing...Freddie,Sita,Kara,and Sai were stand outs but all are,equally gracious and attentive! We were well treated by Kaydee (GM) , Gina and Jope front office staff. Pedro,Dan,Smigger,Abo, Izekil and Sami were awesome activities staff. For a private picnic just Susan and I went to "paridise 2 ".The corals and fish were beautiful and plentiful. But Likurie beach was ten times better. Huge rocks completely covered by different hard and soft corals. Best I have seen in 47 years of snorkeling! Truely what other island in the south tropical sea and Caribbean used o look like !!! We only had at most 26 guests also there at this wonderful resort ! It is the only resort on Yasawa. It is a half hour flight or 45 minutes by helicopter ride away from Nadi. We picked a great week Oct.13th to the 20th weather wise!! I can not recommend this Yasawa Island Resort and Spa strongly enough! The only way to have a less than amazing time is all up to you!!!

Bula everyone! Yasawa is one of the words that fiyians have to say “paradise,heaven” an that what it is this magical place. They treat you as one of their family since the very first moment, Jope receives you with some fresh fruit and flowers in the airport, then everyone in the family are amazing people, an special mention to Masana one of the first men that made possible this unique place in the world. You have lots of activities to do, not only to lay in the beach, you can snorkeling, diving, any water activity you wish; one of the mandatory things is having a picnic in a private beach, absolutely unforgettable! Moreover the food is really good, you will taste fresh products everyday and a different menu for each meal. You can’t miss the kava ritual, it’s only for them but they love to share this moment with you. To conclude a place to return as many times as you could. PARADISE. Vinaka!

I would strongly recommend staying here. My wife and stayed for 7 nights and loved every part of it. Location is perfect, it is beautiful wherever you go. Food was really really good. Staff is really amazing and everyone treats you so well. I would recommend that if you are coming from the US I would stay for a week as it is kinda a long trip. But well worth it.
