If you’re looking for a true Fijian experience away from the major tourist areas then wananavu is where you want to be – come where you can spend your time relaxing in paradise with our luxury bure accommodation catering for everyone from honeymooners to families.

wananavu is a truly idyllic resort offering an island paradise experience with mainland convenience. Just a 2 and ¼ hour journey from Nadi International Airport will have you being met with the biggest Bula in Fiji and tasting your first coconut before most other visitors have even reached their island destinations.

Wananavu restuarant

wananavu boasts 34 deluxe Bures & the uber chic 4 bedroom Villa Vanua amongst the lush, tropical gardens, dotted along the beach front or perched on the hillside overlooking the azure Sailstone Reef and the Nananui Islands.

Enjoy ocean views and beachfront access from our romantic honeymoon bures or simply relax surrounded by tropical gardens in our two bedroom villas. From the north facing Sunset Deck you have unparalleled views morning to night, perfect to while away the hours over a cocktail from the bar or a meal from the local produce focused restaurant.

Whether you join us to get below the surface on our world renown dive sites, say “I do” in a beachfront wedding ceremony, be pampered by expert hands in the Wai Spa or simply pick a hammock and doze through a book,wananavu will seduce you into its rhythm and keep you far from the madding crowd.

wananavu (Fijian for wonderful, fantastic) is, after all, as its name suggests… wananavu!

Each Bure at wananavu offers modern facilities with a traditional Fijian slant. Tastefully decorated with their own deck, timber floors, ensuite and minibar and complete with fan and air conditioning – all your relaxing needs are met.

What you won’t get is a TV, a radio or even a CD player – we are talking some serious switch off time!

Welcome to The Great Fiji Shark Count !

Throughout the months of April and November every year, you have the opportunity to help celebrate and record Fiji’s amazing coral reef biodiversity, show you care about our world’s delicate coral reef systems, and have fun, by taking part in the FIJI-WIDE SHARK COUNT!

Easy to do, this is suitable for visitors and locals alike, whether you like to fish, snorkel, or SCUBA dive. We hope that tourists, school children, scientists and all people with an interest in the marine environment will take to the reefs with us to search for the Sharks of Fiji!

The Great Fiji Shark Count will be held across Fiji every April and November every year.

You can do a single count, or take part as many times as you like during that month, so that you cover different reefs. All data will be gratefully accepted!

So, see your resort, watersports operator or travel agent, get your Shark identification materials and dive into the beautiful blue waters of Fiji, to be a part of history!
