Yasawa Islands Fiji Honeymoon

The Yasawa Islands are a chain of volcanic sun-kissed islands famous for crystal clear lagoons and gorgeous beaches – the perfect honeymoon destination for couples wanting quiet times but with all the amenities of a 5-star resort nearby.

Stretching for almost 90km north-west of Viti Levu in Fiji, the Yasawa Islands epitomise the idyllic image of the South Pacific.

Less developed that the Mamanucas, the Yasawa Island group comprises more than 20 sun-kissed islands edged with luxurious 5-star resorts and countless soft white-sand beaches that gently shelve into tranquil reef-fringed lagoons – perfect for swimming, snorkelling and diving.

Or explore the Yasawa Islands on a cruise with Blue Lagoon Cruises: with three-, four- and seven-day cruises, you’ll find a great island itinerary to suit your needs.

The Yasawa Islands feature rugged peaks and hilly grassland, perfect for scenic walks or horseback riding along coastal ridges – the vista from the southern summit of Naviti Island to the southern Yasawa Islands is one of the most photogenic views in Fiji.

Duck dive into the dark and mystical limestone caverns of Sawa-i-Lau Island, which featured in the movie Blue Lagoon, starring Brooke Shields; or swim alongside manta rays as they glide through the warm waters surrounding Naviti Island.

Getting there – Lying north of the Mamanuca Islands, the Yasawa Islands stretch for 80km along the northwest coast of Viti Levu – about a 2-hour trip on a fast catamaran ferry from Nadi or much less by seaplane or helicopter.
