Nanuya Island Resort Reviews

My wife and I stayed here during our honeymoon this month. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, with their attentiveness being a particular draw to this resort. The food was delicious too. There's plenty of entertainment and trips that can be taken. We did the cave trip which is certainly not to be missed. Just a huge thank you to the staff for making our stay so memorable.

My partner and I had an exceptionally delightful honeymoon at Nanuya Island Resort in Fiji, and a significant portion of that unforgettable experience was due to the incredible staff. Moses, Wilson, Zac, Nem, Ura, and Tui went above and beyond to ensure our stay was truly special. Moses was incredibly attentive and always greeted us with a warm smile, ensuring we felt at home from the moment we arrived. The fish feeding experience is one that is highly recommended. Zac, as the village spokesman, made the village visit an unforgettable and unique experience. Nem's energy and enthusiasm were infectious; he made every activity exciting and memorable. Furthermore, Ura assisted me in experiencing the caving experience despite my limited swimming abilities. My sincere gratitude to him. Tui and Wilson's exceptional service and meticulous attention to detail truly elevated our dining experiences, making each meal a delightful occasion. Their friendly demeanor and willingness to assist made navigating the resort effortless. We could not have asked for a better team to take care of us during such a special time in our lives. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Nanuya Island Resort, and especially to Moses, Wilson, Zac, Nem, Ura, and Tui, for making our honeymoon an extraordinary experience that we will cherish forever.

Tropical paradise! We loved our stay at Nanuya! I was sad to leave as I felt I had made friends and genuinely felt at home! The room we had was air conditioned and had a fan . Comfortable and close to restaurant and beach front. The beach in front of the resort was great for swimming after resting under the cabanas or in the sun. A short walk will take you to a beautiful sandy beach. Excellent for swimming, snorkelling and other water activities. The activities we did included the caves, snorkelling. My husband was able to go spearfishing with Moses and John. Fish caught was shared and some cooked beautifully for us by the chef at resort. All the staff make you feel welcome and that nothing is a problem! Thanks to them all! Tui, Lagi, Masi and Wilson in the bar/restaurant. Luci in the Spa. Vini our fabulous and friendly cleaner. Nem, Moses, John and Vilimanu who organised and guided us for various activities and visits. The school visit was my highlight. Husband wrapped to get spearfishing. Nancy and Marie thanks to you as well! The team go out of their way to make sure you get to do what you want. I can’t speak highly enough about Nanuya and can’t wait to return!

I unfortunately had to cancel my trip and emailed to explain this over 2 weeks prior to the dates booked, well within their 30 day - 1 week period for a 50% refund of the booking cost as per their cancellation policy. I received a reply straight away confirming they would do this. I hadn’t received anything for weeks following this so emailed again multiple times and in the month since I have not heard back at all, the only acknowledgement I’ve received is an emailed invoice charging 50% of the fee to an account with my name but with a Mastercard that is not mine?? Completely unprofessional and to be honest illegal to not honour your cancellation policy and to then just ignore all communication requesting some kind of reasonable explanation as to why. Would not recommend dealing with this hotel.

This is definitely the friendliest place I have ever stayed. The staff go out of their way to welcome you and ensure a good visit. The treetop bures have amazing sunset views (no air-con but good breezes keep it cool) . Beautiful beach in walking distance with flat sea perfect for swimming and snorkelling. The resort restaurant is the only place to eat but the food is good and freshly prepared (budget for around F$100 per person per day for lunch and dinner and a couple of drinks) There is some form of entertainment every night and lots of music. Everything usually finishes up by 9.30 so lots of time to relax and sleep. You can walk across the island to Lo's Teashop or pay for a trip to the caves or an island village. Or just relax and enjoy the views on the resort loungers. It's not really a family place, more for couples and the more mature traveller. Thanks to Lagi, Sumia, Nem, Lucy and the newest staff member Casper for making this a really special holiday. Bula! (From Tim and Nicola)

Nanuya Resort met all our expectations. The treetop bures are lovely, clean with an amazing view over the ocean and islands. There is only a small number of bures so this is a quiet relaxing location.The food is delicious and you don't need to opt for a meal plan which made it more flexible and not so expensive. The waters surrounding Nanuya are pristine and snorkelling was beautiful even straight off the shores. We sighted moray eels, octopus, reef sharks, turtles, many colourful fish and stunning colourful corals. The boat trip to the Sawa-I-Lau caves and swimming inside, guided safely by Moses and team was a bucket list experience - incredible. The staff are the friendliest we've ever come across in our many travels and were always trying to make everyones stay so special. The daily music supplied by the staff was very cheery with beautiful voices and a talented band. Staff to mention especially are: the activities team - Moses, Vilimoni, Bill, Rem plus more. The dining staff and musicians: Sunia, Lagi, George and the chefs. Reception: Marie and overall management: Nancy were so helpful and friendly. There were other staff who were also wonderful but I can't recall everyones names to mention unfortunately. Massage was lovely from the Day Spa. Our only upset was when we requested to travel to visit a nearby clinic on another island as we are health professionals and wanted to say hello there and to see how clinics are running in the Yassawa islands; the Nanuya Resort owner set a rather expensive price for the allocated time we would've had to visit so we couldn't afford to include this in our travels. Apart from this one down point, everything else was super enjoyable. WEe'd love to come here again. Thankyou to the Nanuya Resort staff.😀. From Deb and Glen Pattrick

Bula! This is the sixth island we have visited in the Yasawa Islands and is by far the best of them all. There is an ambiance about this place that is hard to capture in words. The Parker family have created a resort that is at once comfortable to be in and at the end impossibly hard to leave. We stayed in a treetop bure with a fabulous view of the ocean. Simple, idyllic, and also kind of private when we need it to be. The food was absolutely delicious and beyond reproach. The one blot was the weather which wasn't perfect, but the staff kept a smile on our faces with their kindness and attentiveness, until the clouds cleared and the sun came out. Frankly the staff are the best thing about this resort and what make it stand out from all the other island paradises. I do not think I have met a nicer bunch of people, from Nancy and the other girls in the office, Lagi, Tui, Wilson & Barman George in the restaurant tolerating my lousy attempts to speak Fijian, the wonderful hands of masseur Lewu, to the expertise of the boathouse boys Nem, Moses and Vilimoni idulging me with my requests for certain types of snorkel sites. Last, but not least, I have to mention the musical talents of Sunia and Uria who sang till their throats were sore, morning noon and night, helping create that ambience I referred to earlier. I especially liked the cava ceremony (also hosted by Sunia), which was made special by most of the staff attending (apart from those still working). These islanders created a sense of community that Kelly and I were happy and flattered to be allowed to join, if only temporarily. Sota Tale PS Fish pictures requested by Nem posted below.

We spent our honeymoon here staying for 5 nights. We were not sure what to expect as it was our first time travelling to Fiji. From the moment our booking was confirmed we were very well looked after by Nancy. Nancy ensured our arrival was seamless and went above and beyond for us when our own travel plans encountered a small hiccup. We were welcomed to the island by Nancy, Marie and some of the staff, before being taken to an incredible honeymoon suite which was completely stunning. We even had a bottle of champagne waiting for us. The days that followed cannot be properly described or given enough credit. We met amazing people, including the owner Val and her daughter Donna who were very friendly. Bar man George whipped up the most amazing cocktails every evening complete with a fantastic sense of humour. Dinner was spent devouring delicious meals brought to us with the warmest smile from Polly and Wilson, all while listening to Ura playing the guitar. We looked forward to every evening and the evening activities they had planned for us. Daily activities can be booked on site and some options included snorkeling, island hopping and visiting the Sawa-I-Lau cave. We spent most of these trips with Moses who was an incredible tour guide. He has immense knowledge of the area and is so happy and proud to share it with people. He was accompanied sometimes by Bill and Vilamoni who were also very knowledgeable and friendly. All in all, the people, the food, the accommodation, the entertainment and the activities provided by Nanuya are so underrated - it was one of the most incredible weeks of our life. There are so many options if looking for a resort up this way, but this one was fairly priced and way exceeded any expectations we had. The only negative is that they make it so extremely hard to leave, and it's not because of the accommodation and beaches, but it's because of the people. 10/10. We will be back.

Unforgettable Experience with exceptional scenery and heart warming people. Val and her family exceeded my expectations. The resort has been a labour of love for Val and her late husband and they have created a special secluded tropical paradise. The whole staff made it a very special holiday.. Nancy, Lucy, Sarah, Moses, Nan, Marie, Domie, George, Bill, Zac , Levu (massage) and so many I can't remember the names.

My son and I very, very much enjoyed our stay at Nanuya Island Resort! The views there are so beautiful, the people so kind, and the food delicious. It was a paradise! We stayed in one of the treetop bures, which had incredible views across the lagoon, with birds singing outside, just so lovely. The room was very nice and comfortable, with a nice bathroom. Very relaxed and casual, and with a thatched roof and tropical feel...amazing. Our friends were just blown away with the pictures and videos we shared with them. The staff at Nanuya are the kindest, warmest people. They will sing for you and with you, invite you to their sitdown kava ceremony, and everyone knows your name right away. I've never been anywhere like Nanuya, seriously. The food was always different and always wonderful, and really very affordable. There is plenty to do, with kayaks, snorkeling, local crafts classes, day trips to local villages or the special cave island. Swimming through to the underground cave on that trip was very scary for me (I get claustrophobic), but others loved it. And walking along the beach, which you can sometimes have all to yourself, was just beautiful and magical. After our time in Nanuya, we then went on to 2 resorts on Viti Levu, neither of which compared...we were wishing we were back at Nanuya. I would go there again in a heartbeat and highly recommend Nanuya Island Resort! Bula!

From the moment we arrived, we were treated like VIPs. We were welcomed with a beautiful traditional Fiji song and given free shell lays. They were a lovely touch.❤️ Nancy, the manager, was a standout as she went above and beyond for us for our entire stay. Nothing was too much for her. The other staff were also amazing Zac the gardener , the bar staff, spa and the water sports guys. Sorry, i can't remember everyones names. However, they were down to earth, friendly and professional. The rooms were spotless, decorated beautifully, and had breathless views. House keeping checked on us every day. The gardens looked like they could have been featured in a home and garden magazine. The staff were great at making cocktails, and the equipment in water sports was clean and in a good repaired state.And were included in the cost of the rooms The food was fantastic. Beach was clean. And we were lucky enough to meet the owners of the resort who were fantastic. Thanks, Val and Donna!! After telling Nancy that I wanted to ask my partner to marry me. She disrectly.....made it happen with the help of the owners. She upgraded us to the penthouse suite and had the staff bring our luggage from the other room.Nancy decorated it for our celebration. The penthouse( love shack!) was stunning. We enjoyed the privacy of our own beach, private spa, air conditioning,outdoor shower, hot water, fresh towels every day, a safe and perfectly manicured gardens. We don't have a bad word to say about the resort and will be raving about it to all our family and friends!! We didn't want to leave. Also when we plan the wedding we will definitely be choosing this as our destination

Amazing family holiday. Nanuya resort is a beautiful resort, lovey villa with aircon and an oversized and lively outdoor bathroom with 3 showers and a spa bath. We were a family of 4 staying 10 nights. Favourites: Guided snorkelling trips with Moses and Vilimoni. Absolutely amazing. We wanted to do it daily. Saw turtles, reef sharks, sting rays, a huge variety of corals and colourful fish. They took us to different sites each time. We all loved the snorkelling so much. The ocean is crystal clear with a perfect temperature. A short stroll along the sand or kayak across to the point for more snorkelling off shore was also great. We even saw turtles when standing up paddle boarding on the last day. The food was very good and they made Kokoda (a favourite Fijian fish dish) to order which I loved. Daily massages and swimming in the afternoons made for a perfect holiday. Everyone is so friendly. We really loved the music too. Billy is very talented singer and guitarist. Excellent live music every evening at dinner and the fun Bula song every morning at breakfast was great. We also did the cave trip (not recommended for young kids as there’s a part where you have to swim underwater in a dark tunnel for a few seconds to get to the second cave) The cocktail menu was extensive and another thing which made the holiday just that. Thank you to everyone for making our time so amazing. Tui and George at the bar, (Tui is the coolest Fijian on the island!!”) Nancy, Maree were lovely, helpful and welcoming, Amini in the restaurant was always smiling and happy, Moses, Vilimoni, Mike and Bill were fabulous taking us out for day trips in the boat. Highly recommend. Val runs this resort very well and it shows. Her staff are happy and helpful at all times.

After a warm welcome with guitar music, welcome drink and necklace , we found a beautiful place in the middle of paradise. The staff was very charmant and friendly and indeed, they made from the beginning until the end everything correct and above standard. We stayed in a tree top bure with an amazing view onto crystal clear water with a charming blue touch. All in all it‘s a very good resort with a much higher standard and professionalism than all others we’ve seen on a 4 weeks trip. We came as guests and left as friends with a heart warming good bye, music and flower decoration. Vinaka for this experience. See you next time

Quaint rustic warm vibes. Outstanding staff and service and good food options. Some parts of the resort are a little worn but it’s part of the charm. We had four fantastic days here. Water sport gear was free to use and the cabanas had idilic views.
