YASAWA ISLAND RESORT & SPA
Yasawa Islands, Fiji
Due to damage sustained by Cyclone Evan in late December 2012, Yasawa Island Resort & Spa temporarily closed to reopen 01 Mar 2013.
"Yasawa Island Resort and Spa is an exclusive retreat on one of the most remote and unspoiled islands of Fiji. Just 18 luxury bungalows are hidden among the palms, each just a few steps from a pristine white beach. Swim in crystal clear waters, dive on vividly coloured corals, connect with an ancient culture or indulge in Fiji's first beachfront spa. Whatever you choose to do at Yasawa, you'll do it in complete seclusion.
Yasawa might be an island of isolation, but it's also an island of plenty. All meals and snacks are included in the tariff at Yasawa, promising contemporary cuisine at every sitting and an emphasis on the succulent seafood caught daily in surrounding waters. Lobster plucked from the nearby reefs is a specialty. Dine at the restaurant, on the beach, in your bure or beneath the stars. The choice is yours.
Yasawa is home to Fiji’s first beachfront spa, just metres from the ocean’s edge on a sweep of soft white sand. The Baravi Spa draws its name from the Fijian word for beach and has been carefully constructed in a blend of traditional and contemporary styles, with an ocean-view massage deck perched over the sands in the open air, fanned by sea breezes. Our signature massage, the Baravi Rhythm, is performed by two synchronized therapists, working in time with the sound of the waves.
Solitude - It’s our favourite pastime at Yasawa. So whatever you choose to do during your stay, you’ll be free to enjoy it in peace. Take a complimentary picnic on a deserted beach. Visit nearby villages to meet the local children or hear the church choir. Swim in the crystal waters of the famous Blue Lagoon or snorkel among corals and tropical fish. Do as much or as little as you choose. All activities at Yasawa are included in the tariff (except spa treatments, scuba diving and sportsfishing)."
Our Thoughts on Yasawa Island Resort and Spa
If you're looking for an up-market holiday break away from the crowds, in an intimate resort surrounded by amazing white sand beaches with superb accommodation and great food, Yasawa Island Resort & Spa could well be your exact fit.
Yasawa Island, from which the Resort takes its name, is the northernmost island in the Yasawa Islands chain. It is so remote it takes 35 minutes to fly direct from Nadi by Resort Charter flight or 5 hours from Port Denarau Marina by fast catamaran ferry to Nanuya, an island south of Yasawa, and then a further 1 hour by Resort Speed boat to Yasawa Island Resort. The remoteness of this place adds immeasurably to your enjoyment; there are no day-trippers, there is no other accommodation on the island and no children aged under 12 years staying except during the designated family weeks.
During 2012, the property has undergone several improvements which ensure the high quality standard is maintained and enhanced. All the Bure interiors have been repainted in modern, lighter tones and all Bure decks have been replaced in beautiful Fijian Mahogany planks. Guests now sleep on new 1200 thread count sheets; there are new deluxe towels and new lampshade covers to go with new bathroom taps and a great new iPad/iPhone/iPod compatible stereo. The outdoors haven’t been forgotten either. The Resort footpaths have all been extensively landscaped.
Free high speed wireless internet is now provided in and around the Main Bure & bar and a computer with internet access is available for guest use in library.
Yasawa Island Resort includes all meals in their daily tariff as well as all non alcoholic drinks including coffee. They have a wonderful Spa which overlooks the beach and they have an Ulitmate Spa Bonus Package which you pre-purchase before you arrive on the island. For 1 set price for a daily Spa treatment, irrespective of the number of days you take a treatment, there is no additional cost. The Ultimate Spa Bonus is a great deal for stays of 4 nights or more. (See further details under “Specials” below)
For dedicated Scuba divers, there is an “Ulimate Dive Bonus” package available which, for a once only fee, entitles the guest to 2 – one tank day dives per day for the entire length of your stay, so the longer you stay the better the value you receive.
The best advice we can give you is to not rush your holiday at Yasawa. Even though you do get straight into total relaxation mode on arrival, we recommend at least 5 or 6 nights here - 7 or more is even better.
