Namena Resort is an environmentally friendly
private island South Pacific getaway and offers
scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing or honeymoon
vacations with Fijian bure accommodation. The
Resort is a secluded paradise with white sand
beaches as well as hiking trails through tropical
forest.
We
are the only resort on 110 acre Namenalala Island;
our maximum capacity is 12 guests as we have
only 6 guest bures designed to accommodate a
couple.
We
are also the only resort located within the
Namena Barrier Reef, now designated as the Namena
Marine Reserve. World-class diving on both soft
and hard coral, walls, bommies (sea mounts),
swim-throughs and more.

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.
