There are 15 words in the Fijian language meaning Heaven and ‘Yasawa’ is the first. The islands northwest of Nadi make up one of the most spectacular regions in the country. Some 30 resorts are spread through the 12 major islands. The Yasawas cater to those who prefer tropical serenity and access to Fijian culture, adventure and nature. Being there is the experience.

How to get there

The Yasawa Islands are located northwest of Nadi and can be reached by seaplane or boat transfer. The Yasawa Flyer departs from Port Denarau, a 20-minute drive from the Nadi International Airport. The Yasawa Flyer runs a daily service to the Yasawas Islands dropping off at resorts. The boat transfer takes between three to four hours to arrive at the Yasawas. Seaplanes take off from the Nadi Airport and can be arranged through the resort or your travel agent.
