Nanuya Island Resort

My friends and I stayed for five nights in the treetop bures, and we can’t recommend this resort enough. The staff were very welcoming and offered to helped us through every situation. A special shoutout to Sali for serving our table and his fist bumps :) We really appreciate all members of the nanuya family and their warm smiles. We did paid activities from fish feeding, snorkelling, cave trip and handline fishing (me and my partner got lucky and caught two fishes despite it was our first time). We would recommend trying out all of the activities as the guides are highly experienced and take most priority to making your experience comfortable and fun. Our favourite activity was fish feeding, the tropical fishes are beautiful and you get to snorkel beside them. We enjoyed our dinners at the Iguana Bar, food ranged around $45-65FJD pp. Our highlight was seeing Casper the friendly dog resting beside us while we ate. The views from the bar and surrounding areas are incredible, great for sunset photos. Overall, we loved our stay and a massive thank you to all the resort staff and village people for showing us the beautiful culture of Nanuya Island and the kindest hospitality. We hope to be back again in the future!

The staff were incredibly warm and helpful, and even though we only stayed two nights, we've already made some friends. I've never experienced a hotel like it before. We went on a snorkeling tour, and the hotel even arranged for two staff members to drive us around privately, all for a very reasonable price. We'll definitely try to come back. A special thank you to Masi and Pete – they are such lovely people!

We had a fantastic experience at the warm and rustic Nanuya Island Resort. The staff couldn’t be warmer, friendlier or more helpful. The food was delicious and very consistent. The activities were excellent, particularly loved the cave visit. We did two guided snorkeling trips, my husband saw a Manta when we were snorkeling at the Blue Lagoon area. A really nice snorkeling opportunity within walking distance at the local beach. We also loved the various demonstrations at the resort and how warm and friendly the other guests were. This is a small and cozy place that affords a more intimate and personal experience. We stayed in a treetop bure. It was clean, the shower was great and the balcony provided a lovely view. The walk up and down was daunting at first (I am 72) but I adjusted, wore my sneakers exclusively for the climb up and down, and got a lot of good exercise from that. I love this place. Not for those expecting a luxury experience of highest order but for those looking for a more authentic and soulful experience, this is your place.

Our final stop in the Yasawas, and we received a very warm welcome, shell necklaces, cold towels and drinks. We stayed 2 nights but would have loved to stay longer.||The resort is joined with Boathouse Nanuya in that it shares the boathouse, but we didnt venture further into BN. We were one of only 2 couples staying at Island Resort. ||We arrived on a Wednesday and departed on Friday, and from booking with Awesome Fiji, theyd booked us a Sawa-i-Lau Cave trip run by Blue Lagoon Cruises, but they only run on Mon, Weds, Fri and Sat. However, the staff phoned Awesome Fiji and (i think) transferred our booking to their own, so we visited on Thursday morning in a private trip instead.||Nanuya Island Resort is the only resort in the Awesome Fiji repetoire to run an A la Carte menu rather than the meal plans, but it added up about the same. It just meant you could skip courses without feeling like youre wasting money. The food was great, especially the fish (of course), and could cater for all dietary requirements.||Non-motorised activities were free, so we did some paddle boarding in front of the resort, which was incredibly calm and peaceful. We also paid $60 (~£20) for a snorkelling trip in the nearby Blue Lagoon with Moses, a great tour guide.||Our villa had air con and a stunning little garden in front with a porch, very useful for drying things. The villa had a separate bedroom, reception area and bathroom, though there was no internal ceiling between the bathroom and the rest... The villa was constructed to a high standard and well looked-after, doors and screens included and we had very few guests and no bugs. Though Casper the Friendly Dog was hopeful of an invite one night.||Big thanks to all staff, including Pete, Mini, Masi, Moses, Billy and Sali and all the others for making our stay amazing and memorable.||Upon leaving, we were treated to a choir of Isa Lei, which was amazing and received flower necklaces before boarding the Yasawa Flyer III.

We have had an amazing time at the Nanuya Island resort. I think all of the islands around here have finally come out of the Covid period. The vibe here is so friendly it’s like you’re part of the family. The Fijians work very very hard and make it really delightful. Everything about this place has been lovely. Highly encourage people to visit some of the surrounding islands as well. The massage has been much much better than expected and we have been going almost every other day!|We took the ferry from Nadi and it was absolutely delightful. If you really want to go upscale you can book in the Captains Lounge.

This resort has a beautiful location on the Blue Lagoon in Fiji but it was the staff that made all the difference. The happiest, most musical people I have ever met in my life, who made us feel like family from the moment we arrived to the sad farewell song when we left. It literally changed my outlook on life!

I highly recommend Nanuya Island Resort!! Each and every staff member made us feel so welcome and like part of their family. The island is beautiful, the ocean is amazing, and the resort has everything a person could ask for. The grounds are beautiful, the food was delicious (5 star), our room was super comfortable, clean, had an ocean view and a patio hot tub! We had such an amazing time. I want to thank everyone at Nanuya Island Resort so much for making our vacation so incredibly wonderful. We miss you all and can’t wait to come back again!!

Unfortunately, my experience at this resort wasn’t great. The staff didn’t feel as welcoming or friendly compared to other islands I visited in Fiji — I didn’t feel truly comfortable during my stay. Most concerning — someone stole $15 AUD from my wallet and took tobacco from my friend’s belongings in the dorms. There was no responsibility or follow-up from the staff about it, which was really disappointing. There were too many unnecessary rules and policies that made the atmosphere feel restrictive. The bar and restaurant close at 9pm, which makes the place feel very dull in the evenings. Overall, the resort felt boring and lacked energy. The meals were average at best. For example, I was served three tiny pieces of fish and chips for lunch. When I asked for a bit more, the staff refused. Also, the food options for lunch and dinner were quite limited. Wouldn’t recommend this resort, especially when there are so many better options in Fiji with better service, food, and vibes.
