Naqalia Lodge

We stayed in several places in Fiji and this was our favorite. We really were treated like family and the service was so special. The meals were very delicious (best we had on our entire Fiji trip) and they were served on time. Other lodges were always on Fiji time and food wasn’t nearly as good. We did the shark feeding excursion and it was such a cool experience. Would recommend to anyone. We were the only ones there. After we left Fiji we were went to Australia to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef and the snorkeling we did with the sharks was actually better. We also did the summit walk excursion which had amazing views and was a great workout. The best part is the staff. They are so warm and kind and fun.

We loved our experience at Naqalia, an authentic fijian experience. Food was great. We loved our fishing trip that was over 3 hours long as well as spontaneously visiting the sharks . It really felt like the staff wanted to hang out with you and were genuinely happy that you were there. You really felt like part of the family. We will be back

A truly wonderful stay, the staff were lovely and welcoming, the food was plentiful, fresh and delicious. The snorkelling was phenomenal and the hikes were breath taking. Planning my next trip back, can't wait to wake up to the sound of waves crashing again! ❤️

We were travelling 2 weeks in the Yasawa islands with our family and out of the 5 places we've visited during our trip in Fiji it was the best experience we had. We felt like family during our 3 nights stay, had the best food and most important came back with incredible memories which will last forever. Vinaka nakalevu Aku and your team for your generosity and kindness!

We had an amazing experience at Naqalia Lodge, which is a family run lodge with a real feeling of Fiji, not only for the amazing place but for the people and food as well. All the staff, Aku, Tūī, Sia, Oni and Manu did everything possible to make our staying very special and made us feel part of the family. We did activities such as fishing, snorkelling, swimming, trekking and visiting the villa. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone interested in knowing and learning from the real Fijian life.

Stayed here for 3 night the island is beautiful and so are the people who work there. Treated like family and the food was the best we have had on our trip. Thanks Aku and all of the staff who made us feel welcome. Vinaka

I recently had the pleasure of heading out to the Asawa islands in FIJI and we stayed at Naqalia Lodge for a week. This is a family run homestay/resort and everyone is so friendly. Every meal was cooked fresh and was always a feast. We all felt very safe while we were here and had an amazing time spear fishing, snorkeling, exploring the island and relaxing! I would highly recommend Naqalia Lodge to everyone planning on visiting FIJI.

We wanted somewhere for Xmas and fancy resorts aren't really our style. Naqalia Lodge is simple with four bures and a bunkhouse. One extended family services the visitors. The food is excellent (included in the price) but you get what is cooked for that meal. If you have dietary requirement's you might need to talk before booking. You are welcomed and soon become part of the family. There is fine snorkelling off the beach and a range of activities can be arranged. Overall an excellent small scale stay with friendly Fijian hospitality. Be aware the cost of the ferry can be a shock. It is very expensive.
