Not only are the beaches ideal for lazing and swimming, the reef is also home to friendly white-tipped reef sharks and make for an unforgettable snorkeling experience.
The lodge is also home to Crystal Blue Reef Safari, our sister Dive Company, offering numerous activities and dive excursions for everyone – from the intrepid first-timer to experienced divers.
We also offer deep sea fishing excursions where you get to bring home your catch of the day for one of our chefs to prepare for you.
The island’s interior is an undulating landscape of verdant tropical forests and craggy peaks with switch-backs for trekking and exploring.
Our friendly staff will be happy to take you for a tour to their nearby village, teach you about the many Fijian traditions and share their rich cultural heritage.
Barefoot Kuata Island
The Barefoot Collection comprises of two resorts located in the Yasawa Islands of Fiji: at the gateway to the archipelago is Barefoot Kuata Island, while further north lies Barefoot Manta Island. The Barefoot Collection also includes five dive schools.
Our sites boast both long-standing and ongoing efforts to implement environmentally-sustainable initiatives. Taking the form of anything from establishing MPAs (Marine Protection Areas) as “tabu”, to innovative resource management practices, these strives not only promote a devotion towards upholding sustainable eco-tourism but also champion the goals, aims and aspirations set out by Fiji’s Green Growth Framework.
Barefoot Manta Island was the first of the two resorts to be established when it opened in January 2012. Two years later, Barefoot Kuata Island was added to complete the Barefoot Collection.
Although geographically separate, our resorts represent shared efforts to invest in industry-leading levels of eco-adventure tourism as well as illustrating a combined ethos of inclusion and inspiration towards the people and communities of Fiji; a practical philosophy that has not only become our mantra but one which we feel is unrivalled in Fiji.
