Hotel Description: Hidden in the most
remote and culturally intact islands of Fiji is the exquisite Yasawa Island
Resort. As a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World it is amongst
the most exclusive resorts in the South Pacific. It's the only resort
on this 12,350 acre island and offers some of Fiji's finest beaches all
of which can be enjoyed by the resorts guests and are easily accessible.
It is an oasis of absolute luxury and tranquility. The 19 bures dot the
beach along side the foliage of the island's steep hills. Large, well
designed, natural timbered bures, both duplex and deluxe, combine the
very best of Fijian and European standards. The freshwater horizon swimming
pool sets this resort apart from other offshore deluxe resorts. The resort's
tariff includes all meals, non-alcoholic beverages and all activities
except scuba diving, game fishing and massage/facials.
Yasawa Island Resort is one of those places that offer you virtually everything
you might want in a South Seas vacation, from peace and solitude, to a
rich cultural experience complimented by fine food and wine with a wide
range of activities for the adventurous. In fact one of the stand-out
features of this resort is its remoteness, away from commercial influences
and alongside one of the most traditional villages.
The
cuisine at Yasawa is a fine dining experience and the resort is known
for its lobster dishes, which are prepared with fresh lobster caught daily
from the island surrounding waters. Yasawa gives its guests that elusive
feeling of being cast away on a remote island, but with all the amenities
and luxuries so many travelers have come to expect.

 Suggested
Activities:

movie of the same name. A swim in the cool depths of the lagoon's caves
is truly a magical experience.

where the villagers, always sincere in their welcome to outsiders, will
give you an insight into a lifestyle that has changed little since before
the arrival of missionaries.
Take lunch on one of the 11 local beaches within an easy walk or boat
ride from the resort. Hamper in hand, packed to brim with lobster plucked
the night before from a nearby reef, or peppered chicken, vintage cheese
and a cornucopia of fruits and vegetables.

tropical forest the resort owners were themselves married on its idyllic
shores. Take your vows in the shade of the palms, on the sands of a deserted
beach, before a tropical sunset or under the southern stars. Choose traditional
