Matamanoa Island

Boasting a volcanic cone jutting out of the turquoise waters, brilliant green forest, white sand beaches and pristine coral reefs, Matamanoa is the epitome of beauty and tranquillity.

Found in the Mamanuca Group of islands, and a boat trip from the main island of Viti Levu, this adults only private island is the perfect place for romance and intimacy. Sink your toes into the powder sand and unwind under the many palm trees, or see the spectacular underwater world by snorkelling within the marine sanctuary which surrounds the island. Immerse yourself in traditional Fijian culture at a local cooking class, venture out to a local village, or try your hand at sulu tying and coconut bowling. Soak in ocean views as you tuck into tantalising delights at the restaurant which serves a range of cuisine and daily-changing menus, and later sip a colourful drink at the Cocktail bar while you watch the sun melt into the sea. Upgrade to a beachfront Bure and open your sliding doors to your patio, which offers spectacular views of the ocean, and bathe in your plunge pool with a glass of bubbly in hand.
