I have been fortunate enough to travel the world for over 20 years, but I have never experienced a welcome as warm and genuine as the one I received here. From the moment we arrived, the entire team made us feel like family. Every person was so kind, attentive, and always ready to help—not in a pushy way, but with a quiet, thoughtful presence that made us feel truly at home. There was no pressure to buy anything or do anything we didn’t want to; they were simply there for us, whenever we needed them. What truly stood out was the sense of connection and authenticity. It wasn’t just about being guests in a resort—it was about becoming part of a community. We spent hours chatting, laughing, and learning about each other’s cultures. Everything felt natural, and we became more than just visitors—we became friends. Our kids felt completely embraced by the local people. They roamed freely around the resort, playing and interacting with the community, which gave us the true Fijian experience we were hoping for. The genuine warmth and acceptance we felt here are something we will cherish forever. I have to mention the unforgettable moment when they sang us a goodbye song. It was the first time in my life I almost cried when leaving a place, not because of the departure itself, but because of the beautiful people who had made our stay so special. You could tell that their kindness was not just part of their job, but a reflection of who they truly are. They made us feel so valued, never once making us feel like we were asking for too much. My dear Fijian friends, you truly exceeded all our expectations. We would come back in a heartbeat if we didn’t live so far away. But as they say, “never say never.” My son, Filip, already said that when he grows up, he will bring his family back to this paradise. Thank you again for giving us 5 unforgettable days. We miss you already. Ema, Filip, Tomaz & Petra

If you came to this page, you are looking for an experience close to the people of the Yasawa islands. You will find it here much more than at any resort. You will stay at a single house with 3 rooms, no other houses or hotels nearby with which to share the beach. The lovely people of the house will take you on many adventures, from visiting the local village where some of them live to the famous Sawa-I-Lau Caves. We even had the fortune to assist the first instalment of a yearly rugby tournament to which teams from all over and even the main island joined. A big shout out to Chef Sai who everyday whipped up from scratch very tasty and varied meals. She's the motherly figure of the house. Many of the ingredients are locally grown in the garden or sourced from the sea nearby. There is internet and it was workable most of the time, weaker on cloudy days, keeping in mind that you are on an island with little infrastructure. Overall, we loved our stay here. It was everything we expected and more!

If you want a relaxing few days this place is for you. Opened earlier in the year and only 5 rooms are open at present (3 private’s and 2 dorms I think). I believe there will be 10 rooms in total when they open fully. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm and it wasn’t a dorm as such - 4 single beds, beautiful en suite and even better outdoor shower which was powerful and had hot water. Very sturdy buildings - not like the tents in other resorts. Everywhere was extremely clean. Staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome - the service is second to none.. No unnecessary check in process - they just welcomed you, showed you to your room and you just paid for everything on check out. Meals are chosen off a set menu for breakfast lunch and dinner - you choose your next meal during the prior meal. Lots of choose from western food to local food. I 100% believe it’s cooked fresh and I saw some fishermen taking their catch from the sea to the restaurant. They have snorkelling from the beach front which I did - I believe it’s a lot better if the boatman takes you for free towards the island but the winds took off when I was there so unfortunately gave that and the kayaking a miss as I’d get blown to the next island. If you want lots of people this isn’t for you - there was around 7 people during my stay but a nice mix of couples and solo travelers and just somewhere calm to read a book and relax. Fresh coconuts and mango provided for you during the day. They also have a kind of communal big table where solo people can sit and chat to other solo people.

Real paradise! Beautiful place, champagne beach, coral reef with fish, wonderful staff, fine dining!

Amazing resort with wonderful beaches and great food options. Superb customer service and excellent staff. Can’t recommend enough this place, just paradise. The staff take care of everything, easy check in and check out, you just relax. Kudos to the management! Thank you for the great time!

Absolutely stunning resort and facilities. Staff were incredibly kind and generous with their smiles. Was not expecting free activities such as yoga and snorkeling, very nice! The resort is beautiful and the beach is nothing short of exceptional. WiFi actually worked almost everywhere on the resort, and was impressively fast.

The bure and facilities were amazing. The staff put lots of effort into making me feel comfortable and to make the resort a memorable stay. All the staff were extremely friendly and I could tell they enjoyed their work and spending time with each other.

That it was real, un-glossy insight into Fiji village life today.

Most welcoming and friendly family and very authentic village! Really good food and a lot, they even cooked vegetarian for me! Nice activities, it never gets boring. The beach is beautiful too. Small room but comfy bed with mosquito net. We would have loved to stay longer. Thank you very much Silo, Bill, Va and Rob for making our stay great! Extra info because it’s one of the first reviews: We got picked up from the ferry by boat (extra cost), very good food provided for 50FJD/day per person, bathroom simple with bucket toilet and shower in a little shelter next door, no supermarket in the village so bring what you need (mosquito repellent and sun screen!). Solar panels provide power through the day and lights, but no fan (was not too hot for us). Covering clothes and no hats/sunglasses while walking the village, beach is fine :) Bringing a gift to the chief of the village is also part of etiquette.

Maikai and his family were generous, kind and extremely accommodating, including us in welcome ceremonies and a family picnic. The room was great, spacious, private and clean. The location is right next to a village where the people are friendly and you can look around the kindergarten and get to know the people and round the corner from a resort too where you can do activities if you like. We had a great few days here and would’ve loved to stay longer. It’s an excellent homestay.
