Nanuya Island Resort

Great experience as expected.
First time back on Nanuya Lailai for 23 years.

The staff was incredibly nice felt like family.

Staff and activities were excellent. Really enjoyed the snoekelling and cabe trips

NIR has an old-school Fiji vibe in the best way … warm, friendly, professional staff, lots of singing, dancing, and instrument playing, upscale and nice but not pretentious. They put the B in Bula. Location is beautiful, good snorkeling down the beach and great snorkeling excursions. We thought the food could have been better and the WiFi is a frustrating experience but other than that, 5 stars.

Hot tip … a cruise ship comes in down the beach a ways on Monday for a 2 night (?) stay over, so the beach at the far end becomes inaccessible. We loved that part of the beach so something to know about. Still great without that section but better with it ;-)

The staff truly made it a relaxing stay. They were never without a smile and made everyone feel at home.
The views and amazing location were unforgettable.

First things first the "negative". The Buras are located on a hill so you have to climb up the hill to get to them and they also don't have AC. I know that's a point of contention for some. That being said I didn't mind the walk especially because the Bura had an incredible view of the island and the water and was the absolute perfect spot to watch sunsets. It also had a lot of windows so we had a nice breeze all the time and I didn't miss the AC at all. Room was clean and well made with lots of flowers when we arrived. The restaurant didn't have a huge menu as it was a smaller resort but that being said the menu was different everyday and we never had a meal that we didn't thoroughly enjoy. Every meal was fantastic. The staff was probably the best part, it was visible that the staff were trying to make a personal connection with us at every opportunity trying to get to know us and to get to know us by name

Everything about this place was great. Food, service and the staff really do make you feel like family.

A super special place tucked away on a beautiful island! It is worth the trek out here from mainland, it felt like a true secluded island. The villas were wonderful and spacious, the cabanas were plenty, the staff was incredibly nice, and the food was delicious. Even though there are not really any beaches directly on the resort, you can walk to blue lagoon beach and hang out there and snorkel. The only time you cannot go to that beach is on tuesdays bc of a cruise that docks there, I wish I would have known that. Otherwise it was a wonderful quiet secluded getaway where the staff memorized our names and were the absolute best. There is also a hike you can do to the other side of the island which is only about 1-2 miles. The top of the hill on the hike is a beautiful spot for both sunset and sunrise. The sea cave excursion was also wonderful, I highly recommend it even just for the scenic boat ride! A truly unique and beautiful place all around.

Unique secluded resort to stay in the Yasawa Island chains. After traveling around Fiji on sailboat for 2 seasons, very familiar with land accommodations for our land based guests. This location offers some hiking options, a decent restaurant with limited choices, pleasant staff and a list of unique day trip options to choose from. Not a luxury resort but has its own charm.

We stayed here for snorkeling only to find their reef is not healthy or good for snorkeling. There is another area you can walk to that is better but only if the cruise ship is not docked there. We organised some day snorkeling trips that were great. If you want to wake up and snorkel choose another island resort.
We had our computer stolen from our locked room. Help was minimal from the Australian owner. Who wrote a message to me in capitals when I requested help from home. They did organise a local police person to come and speak with us.
We witnessed the owner argue with a guest over lunch. All lunch patrons were very subdued that day.
The local staff were amazing and we really enjoyed their friendliness, hospitality and cooking. I wish they could get ownership back and run the place and restore the reef like others are doing.

Dinners were very good.

Staff was amazing and the resort is well worth the journey. No air con in the units, which can be an issue when the humidity peaks.

Big enough to have great food and services small enough to where you felt like family.

Wonderful view from bure’s. The menu needs more variation eg lunch is entirely taco’s one day (just different flavours), next day lunch is entirely pizzas (different flavours). Lunch is very expensive 30FD for a toasted sandwich. Ran out of snorkelling gear one day because people did not have to return theirs each day. Housekeeping staff did great job - friendly & responsive to requests. Would stay here again

Simply the most gentle, kind people I have ever found in hotels, they make you feel like a family, the resort is simple and welcoming, drinks and food were excellent, the tree top bure were cost with a fantastic sea view. We want to return to Nunuya again. ( for transportation use the large vessel, the sea bus which is a smaller boat was way to uncomfortable)

Beautiful area and beautiful staff. We had a magical time, so relaxing, great food (gluten free meals well catered for on request). Awesome tree top accommodation with stunning views and a great bed. No aircon was fine in July as the humidity wasn’t high. Great activities available. Highly recommend the guided snorkeling trip to the blue lagoon. The staff were amazing and made a real effort to learn you names, teach you some Fijian and laugh along with you. The staff really made the trip. Don’t hesitate, go to Nanuya! Would go back in an instant!

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at Nanuya Island Resort! From start to finish, everything was amazing. The food was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented at every meal.

The staff were so friendly and welcoming, always going the extra mile to help us plan our daily adventures and ensure we made the most of our time on the island.

The resort has a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere that was perfect for a romantic getaway, but there were also plenty of activities and excursions to enjoy.

We made such special memories here and would return in a heartbeat!

Wonderful

The resort was nice but the people were amazing. Come as a stranger leave as family. Spider man, Moses, Villey,

Good resort style living with staff entertainment, good food and many oppurtunities for activities. The staff do volleyball out by the boathouse if you are looking for something to do before happy hour. The room had all the amenities you would want. However, my room in particular had issues with the fan stopping and causing a loud noise occassionally. Others didn't seem to have that issue.
