There are fifteen words for ‘heaven’ in the Fijian language – Yasawa is the first.
And if this island is a heaven, Yasawa Island Resort is surely a sanctuary. When you arrive to Yasawa, whether by sea or sky, the first sight of her alluring waters washes away the hectic outside world. And as you step into the silky sands of her beaches? You feel it for the first time – the essence of Yasawa. The remoteness and the unspoiled nature. The spirit of Fiji floats effortlessly through the warm, salty breeze. The buzz of life without another soul in sight.
And there, tucked into the lush ferns and swaying palms, sits the tradition-inspired thatched roofed bures of the only resort on this island. It feels like the last hidden gem on earth. Welcome to Yasawa Island Resort & Spa.
SPACE TO RECHARGE
As the greeting song from the Fijian staff fills the air, you know you’ve found your sweet escape – a secluded space to recharge. A scene that will sit peacefully in your heart, long after you’ve waved your last goodbyes.
While the amenities allow you to feel relaxed and pampered during your stay, the sense of luxury goes far beyond the open-aired rooms of the resort.
The ultimate luxury lies with the island itself; with the people who called it home, long before the resort villas were built 30 years ago – with the rich local culture they readily share with you. With the untouched coral reefs, the hidden lagoons, the pristine waters that crash on its shores. With the easygoing days spent in the sun and the colours of the sky as the sun sinks into the horizon.
It’s that same sense of luxury which the current owners, Erin and James, aim to infuse into every stay. Their hearts have long been with the island, its community, and the resort itself, as Erin has called Yasawa home since the ’90s as a resort manager.
To remain independently owned, to hire locally whenever possible, to encourage guests to truly discover what it means to unwind and recharge, to put Fijian culture at the centre of your stay.
You’ll come to Yasawa full of wanderlust and discovery, but you’ll leave knowing that it’s your new home away from home.
Swim in the crystal waters of the famous Blue Lagoon or snorkel among spectacular and vividly coloured corals and tropical fish.
From the Yasawa family to yours – Bula (welcome) to Fiji. Do as much or as little as you choose.
