Search Palaces in Sawa-i-Lau Island

"We had an amazing 5 day stay at Nabua Lodge. There was exactly the right amount of activites to make or stay a great balance of relaxing and exploring. Food portions were just right for me - and there was usually a bit extra if you asked. My only comment of warning is if you have long hair, you will be in the shower for a while rinsing it. The pressure is low - but the water is hot! I would go back in a heartbeat. Thanks Sai and team "

"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! "

"This was the best place we went to in Fiji! The snorkeling right off the beach is the best! There are excursions to other snorkeling/diving spots also. The excursion to Sawaii-Lau Caves is available from here too. Don't miss the night snorkeling excursion. The villas have bathrooms, but the lodges share a community bathroom with backpackers. The meals are MORE than plentiful; the meal plan is compulsory. The meals are high class, one with 10 courses! Fantastic atmosphere! Just the place to be in Fiji!"

"Rooms were beautiful. Food was excellent. Staff were amazing."

"Amazing intimate atmosphere. Staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome, accommodate dietary needs, and arrange fun activities. This is truly a special place!"

"I really don’t want to say anything bad about this place because the people were truly fantastic but this was not my favorite stay. In terms of safety (especially being a solo female traveler) I felt very safe. If you’re looking for a secluded and gorgeous spot this is definitely it. The cabins are not great but the location really does make up for it. I did see the biggest spider of my life due to a hole in the bathroom that really threw me off in terms of this stay though. The boys of the owner thankfully came and got it out but as someone who is not the greatest with big bugs, I would recommend finding a more secure stay if that is an issue for you. There were ants everywhere and there wasn’t a fan until I asked for one which made it very difficult to sleep. The electricity is only on at night which is fine but it’s a lot when it’s super hot and there is no fan. The food was always good but you didn’t get any option on what you ate. You got what you got. You also sit with everyone else who is staying at the place at a big table so if you are looking to have your own space or be solo this isn’t the best place for it. Personally I liked it though because it opened conversation with new people. The location really is breathtaking. Everyone is so nice and they have the cutest dogs and one eyed cat! "

"Coralview was a decent experience for us. The staff were absolutely lovely and took great care of us. The burres were clean and spacious. There was great snorkeling just off the beach, and the option of walking over to the Savuti reef (about 1 mile walk along the beach) for additional snorkeling. There were also free kayaks available for use. So, lots to see and do here. There are however, two negatives we experienced. The one minor issue was that we didn't particularly like the meat and way it was cooked (the fish was quite good, but the red meat options were, in our opinion, not great). However, once we switched over to the vegetarian options, the food was quite tasty! Another minor food issue is that the salt shakers never worked due to the humidity - I would suggest that management switch to either using salt grinders, or just put out little cups of salt for their guests. The really big issue for us was that the coral lies in a fairly busy boat route, so we were always stressed about getting run over by a boat - and many of the boats go quite fast over this area, so we ended up not really enjoying the snorkeling. The little yellow floaties they provided us with were useless to us, since we like to do a bit of freediving when we snorkel. Definitely something to keep in mind if you're avid snorkelers like us. This is the one thing that would keep us from returning to Coralview, so we really hope they can do something about this. "

"We had 4 nights in Navotua villageIt was the highlight of our 3 week holiday Mele looked after our every need and genuinely cared for my husband who arrived at the stay with fish poisoning.We really felt the village surrounded him with love. Luckily he was able to see the doctor and avoided hospital. The Bure on the beach was perfect for rehabilitation,breezy,clean and comfortable. We had meals with a different family each time,always fresh and tasty,plenty of papaya and local delicacies.One time we even had lobster.The local crabs, custard pie and real coffee were the best. We made the most of the activities on offer. But best of all were the friendships we made with these beautiful people and the generosity of sharing their culture with us.Buka vinaka."
