There are fifteen words for ‘heaven’ in the Fijian language - Yasawa is the first.

And if this island is a heaven, our 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. 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 traditional-inspired thatched roofed bures of the only resort on our land. She feels like the last hidden gem on earth. Welcome to Yasawa Island Resort & Spa.

As the greeting song from our Fijian staff fills the air, you know you 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. That’s our wish for you. And while our amenities allow you to feel relaxed and pampered during your stay, the sense of luxury goes far beyond the open-aired rooms of our resort. To us, the ultimate luxury lies with the island itself. With the people who called it home, long before our 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 colors of the sky as the sun sinks into the horizon.

It’s that same sense of luxury Erin & James, our current owners, aim to infuse into every stay. Their hearts have long since been with the island, its community, and the resort itself, as Erin has called Yasawa home since the 90s as a resort manager. Since taking ownership in 2010, it's been their primary goal to preserve the true essence of Yasawa. To remain independently owned, to hire locally whenever possible, to encourage guests to truly discover what it means to unwind & recharge, to put Fijian culture at the center of your stay.

Perched on a rise overlooking the rest of the resort is the Two Bedroom Bure. With two separate bedrooms either side of a large central living area, the two-bedroom bure is ideal for two couples travelling together or a family with older children (during family season only). Its elevated outdoor deck provides magnificent views over the island and out to sea.
You’ll come to us full of wanderlust & discovery, but you’ll leave knowing Yasawa is your new home away from home.

From our Yasawa family to yours - Bula (welcome) to Fiji. We can’t wait to show you around.
