Waya Island Resort
This is your invitation to discover the Fiji of your dreams: framed by volcanic hinterland, lush jungle and the endlessly shimmering Pacific Ocean, this brand-new boutique resort is adults-only, exceptionally intimate and comes complete with all-inclusive dining.
Hidden on the southern tip of the idyllic Yasawa Islands, Waya Island Resort features 18 modern bures and villas, each the perfect honeymoon hideaway – and the perfect place to return after days spent trekking bird-filled rainforests, snorkelling through vibrant reefs or wandering golden shores. The dining is just as good: Waya Island Resort champions home-style Fijian cooking, with produce grown from island gardens or plucked fresh from the seas.
Located on Waya Island’s western coast – itself one of the southernmost islands of the Yasawa archipelago – Waya Island Resort offers unparalleled seclusion and romance in the heart of paradise. Local activities include cultural tours, snorkelling reefs and mountain hikes, and the resort enjoys direct access to the region’s spectacular beachfront. The resort is located approximately a 30-minute drive and two-hour catamaran transfer from Nadi International Airport (NAN). Catamaran transfers from Port Denarau to Waya Island are included in select packages, please see Fine Print for further details.
Airport transfers to Port Denarau are not included, please plan accordingly. South Sea Cruise operates high-speed catamaran transfers between Port Denarau and the island in approximately two hours. Catamarans depart daily from Port Denarau at 8.45am. Catamarans depart daily from Waya Island at 3.35pm.
