Navutu Stars Resort Yasawa Islands

Navutu Stars Resort, Fiji – Absolute Paradise My partner and I had an incredible 10-day stay at Navutu Stars in October 2025, and it was truly one of the most relaxing and serene holidays we’ve ever experienced. The resort and island are designed for complete switch-off—pure paradise where you can slow down and be fully present. Our beachfront bure was beautifully comfortable, with stunning views, a lovely sea breeze, immaculate housekeeping (including turndown service), and a large, very comfy bed. Our days were spent by the water, enjoying massages (I tried almost the entire spa menu), soaking up the sun, exploring the island, and sipping cocktails. Evenings were relaxed and unhurried, with delicious dinners—hands down the best seafood pasta I’ve ever had—followed by early nights. What truly made this experience unforgettable was the Navutu family. Every single person made us feel genuinely welcome and at home. Nothing ever felt forced; they remembered our names and preferences and embodied the true spirit of Fiji. Being celebrated as guests of honour during the Fiji Day festivities was such a special and fun surprise. I cannot recommend Navutu Stars highly enough for solo travellers or couples seeking peace, connection, and the natural beauty of Yaqeta and the Fiji Islands. To the incredible team (and apologies if I’ve missed anyone): Ma, Egi, Dan, Pene, Ludo, Varani, Solo, Watee - Vinaka Vakalevu 🇫🇯❤️. We’ll absolutely be back.

Dear Navutu Stars Team, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for an absolutely unreal stay at your place. My four nights on Yaqeta were honestly some of the best I’ve ever had anywhere in the South Pacific — no joke. Your resort is insane in the best way: super boutique, not too big, the rooms are beautiful and perfectly airy, and the whole vibe is just next level. The staff were unbelievably kind — everyone knew our names, and it really felt like staying with friends. I work as a travel consultant, I travel a lot for a living and privately, and still… this stay was honestly one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had. I’ve stayed in Fijian homestays before, and Navutu Stars is the perfect mix of authentic village-style experience and luxurious comfort — you still get the full Fiji vibe, just in a way you usually can’t in the villages, and that’s something you should feel once you in Fiji! The location? Straight 10/10. The daily excursions were amazing, snorkeling was crazy good, the views were pure paradise. And the food? Absolute ten out of ten — every single meal slapped. Even the dogs were super sweet and part of the whole vibe. If someone is looking for paradise — trust me, they’ll find it at Navutu Stars. Vinaka vakalevu!

If you don't find what you're looking for in Navutu Stars you're missing the point. A perfect blend of tradition and comfort with every details thought of. All staff were attentive, polite and friendly making us feel welcome before even stepped foot on land. Conversations naturally flowed and it was an excellent way to learn about Fijian life. Including the 3 resident dogs that accompanied us kayaking and walks along the beach. Daily activities were a great way to meet others staying at the resort. Snorkeling off various parts of the Yasawa Islands. One night we were offered to take part in a Kava ceremony with the staff and enjoy Lovo - which was a special experience. Food and drink great with a changing menu everyday - including loads of fish and "catch of the day" Its a small boutique hotel only hosting up to 20 people. Private, quiet and peaceful with no demand to interact with anyone if you so desire. The Bures are completely private and secluded. We found it difficult to fault Navutu as, if you've done your research, you get exactly what you're expecting & more (a shame to see some negative reviews as Navutu Stars sell their product exactly as advertised and are not falsely advertising anything). If you want a traditional Fijian experience and surroundings with the comfort of luxury this is the place for you.

I highly recommend Navutu Stars Resort. The location and staff are a dream. I wanted to get away from everything and enjoy pristine snorkeling and relax, and Navutu Stars came through. We snorkeled every day, the rooms were comfortable, and the location is magical. It's quiet paradise. The staff attended to our every need, the food was great.||I traveled with my cousin and stayed in burre #10 which has two rooms. There are a lot of stairs that are all painted white. We had to pay attention and be extra careful going up and down. To get to the burre, there are steep stairs or you walk along the shore. It was no big deal but if you have mobility issues, this is not the room for you. If you want to be super secluded, this is your spot.||I definitely want to come back!

An absolutely wonderful Fijian experience in the Yasawa Islands!! I suggest any adult stay here for intimacy and fun! The food is FABULOUS 👌. Very good options each day for every palate. Loved the staff and the village... a place to "be" with the culture. So authentic and real. Fiji time! No hurry, no worry! The huts are very comfortable - accommodations provided are focused on the guest's immediate and ongoing needs.

Wow, we cannot say enough amazing things about this resort, it was the most magical, unforgettable honeymoon of our dreams!||My wife and I came to Navutu for our honeymoon and stayed for 11 days. I know it’s common to island hop but we absolutely loved that we stayed long enough to have a chance to take part in all the activities this resort has to offer and just relax and immerse in the culture. ||The staff and Fijians in general are the most kind, welcoming, friendly and thoughtful people. We felt so cared for here in the big and small ways, from turn down services to organizing activities that we were interested in, it really felt like such a special experience. ||We loved our bure! We stayed in the grand bure with the deck and it was so beautiful, peaceful, and private. The ocean views from the deck are gorgeous, and the soak tub was amazing. They told us to tell them when we want a bath and they would come fill it and set it up with flowers and candles around it and more petals inside, so romantic! ||Don’t turn down any snorkeling, every place we saw was incredibly beautiful, the coral, the fish, we even saw a couple turtles and a small shark! Other favorite activities were the Sawa-i-Lau caves (mind-blowing, don’t be scared to explore more with your guide!) and visiting the village. We loved the village so much we went back a second time for a church service and again for another visit, one of the staff even saw us and called us over to her porch to hang out for a bit and meet her children. It was so sweet and meaningful for us and it was small moments like these that will stick with us forever. ||The food was unreal. Not a single thing we ate was less than incredible, all high quality and so fresh! My wife ate a lobster sandwich for lunch almost every single day and still talks about them. Breakfast was always delicious and dinners were out of this world. ||We also did the honeymoon package, highly recommend if you’re coming for a romantic getaway or special occasion! We had a champagne breakfast delivered to our room, a sunset cruise, a private beach picnic, 90 minute couples massage, and a private cabana dinner under the stars. These romantic moments were some of our most cherished memories from this trip.||The island, the people, the resort itself, everything was so beautiful and more than we could have hoped for. We loved how small and intimate it felt, like our own little home away from home. We might have teared up a little saying goodbye and will definitely be back!||Vinaka vakalevu to the Natuvu Stars team for giving us a honeymoon we will forever treasure.

We just returned from five nights at this beautiful location and we could not have been happier! We rented a two bedroom burre right at the waters edge. I have traveled extensively and this has been one of my all time favorite destinations. The beauty of the island, the peacefulness without hoards of people, the genuine kindness of the staff made this so unique. We snorkeled daily and were overwhelmed by the coral reef and variety of fish we saw. The food was amazing with many options for all. We loved our visit to the village (bring treats for the children-if you can) and meeting the people living on the island. We are already planning a trip back.

Nowhere Near 5 Stars – Very Disappointing Experience We only booked Navutu Stars Resort because of its supposed 5-star rating, but this is in no way a five-star property. The rooms had no air conditioning, and it was nearly impossible to sleep in the sweltering heat. We visited during Fiji’s “winter” season, and it was unbearable—I can’t imagine how awful it must be in the summer months. The food was another major letdown. Not only was it terrible, but the same few items were offered every single day with zero variation. For the price being charged, this was unacceptable. On top of that, we were even charged for basic drinking water, which felt unreasonable. As for the beach, calling it one is generous—it was nothing more than a muddy pit that became a breeding ground for mosquitos. Definitely not the tropical paradise we were expecting. Overall, this resort is overpriced, uncomfortable, and misleadingly rated. Save your money and look elsewhere in Fiji—you’ll find far better experiences for a fraction of the cost.
