Namena Resort is an environmentally
friendly private island South
Pacific getaway and offers scuba

forest.

to accommodate a couple.
We

The Namena Barrier Reef abounds
with hundreds of varieties of
reef fishes, nudibranchs, sea
cucumbers (beche-de-mer), barracuda,
sharks, trevally, clownfish,
trigger fish, wrasse, an occasional
manta, turtles and a multitude
more sea creatures. After your
dive, make use of our vast library
of the underwater creatures
you will have seen.
The Fiji Islands are known as
the Soft Coral capital of the
Pacific and the various colours
and hues boggle the mind. Snorkelers
have the same advantage as divers
in enjoyment of the underwater
world with the exception that
snorkelers cannot remain for
long periods of time beneath
the surface as do our scuba
diving companions.
Accommodations
Our resort bures are hexagonal
and built of native woods, bamboo
and cane to blend with the environment.
As each  bure
is perched along the ridge,
all are oceanfront and each
has its own unique view out
to sea, overlooking either the
beach or the reefs at the base
of the cliffs. Four of the six
bures face northwesterly towards
the southern coast of Vanua
Levu. 'Lawendua' is named after
the elegant long-tailed tropicbirds
which nest in crevices of the
cliff-face below the bure. Several
walls have floor-to-ceiling
sliding louvered doors so by
fully opening the doors, one
has a 180 degree view out to
sea. Various tropical bushes,
plants and fruit trees lend
color and provide privacy between
each bure.
One of the six sections of the
hexagon is the bathroom area
with his/her toilets & sinks
joined by an over-size shower.
The bedroom is dominated by
a king-size canopy bed with
mosquito netting draped around
the base of the canopy. You'll
find coffee/tea making facilities
in the beautiful hardwood cabinet
tucked in a corner of your bedroom.
Romantic gas lamps, reminiscent
of lighting at the turn of the
century, provides 24 hour lighting.
There are solar lamps for reading
in bed along with a fan for
our hot humid summers when the
tradewinds are light. Piped-in
gas runs your lights, hot water
for showers and your tea kettle.
Dining
The large hexagonal bure, 'vale
ni kana' - or clubhouse, is
our central gathering place
consisting of lounge area, dining,
self-serve bar and houses a
large paperback library. Here
you will find books on fish
and coral identification, birds,
local culture & traditions.
Dining is usually communal and
a time to share the day's experiences
with fellow guests. However,
for our romantics or honeymoon
couples who prefer to dine alone,
our staff are happy to set up
a table on the patio. Meals
are included in the daily tariff.
Our kitchen staff bake breads,
pastries, cakes daily and can
cater to your dietary requirements.
Complimentary Activities
Includes use of snorkeling equipment,
snorkel excursions to the Namena
Barrier Reef, canoeing, ocean
kayaking, hiking trails across
the 110 acre island, private
beaches for romantic picnics,
birdwatching, beach volleyball,
fishing (either trolling or
handline fishing the Fijian
way). We do not take day tourists
so the island is yours.
