No trip to Fiji is complete without a visit to the Yasawa Islands. You will see from a Fiji Island map that they are located to the north west of Viti Levu, the main island.
There are so many Yasawa Island activities that you may decide to base your accommodation here. The islands consist of a chain of approximately 20 volcanic islands, renowned for their picturesque beaches of fine white sand. The movie "The Blue Lagoon" was made at Turtle Island, a small resort set on Devil's Beach on Vanua Levu.
These Fiji Islands are the perfect getaway for those travellers who want to go off the beaten track as there are few roads here. Many honeymooners stay here and some even have their wedding here. There are many romantic packages to choose from.
The Yasawa weather is perfect nearly all year and the accommodation is usually in bures: small native thatch cottages. As there are few roads, Fiji travel here is by helicopter, yacht, sail or seaplane. The Yasawa Flier, a catamaran service, is one of the quickest ways to get from Nadi. Sun Air and Air Fiji fly several times daily to both Malololailai and Nama Island.
There are many island resorts and backpackers hidden throughout the islands. Turtle Island Resort and Yasawa Island Resort are both five-star resorts offering the latest in exclusive, luxury accommodation.
Typical Yasawa Island accommodation is the Korovou Eco Tour Resort which offers six bures right on the beach, or seven cottages, as well as dormitory and camping facilities. The Octopus Resort even offers roofless showers so you can stargaze while washing!
