Yasawa Islands
Fiji's Most Remote and Beautiful Island Chain
About the Yasawa Islands
The Yasawa Islands are a chain of about 20 volcanic islands stretching north from the Mamanucas. Known for their dramatic landscapes, pristine beaches, and traditional Fijian villages, the Yasawas offer a more remote and authentic island experience than their southern neighbors.
Made famous by the 1980 film 'The Blue Lagoon', these islands feature towering volcanic peaks, hidden beaches, limestone caves, and some of the most stunning blue waters in the world. The islands remain relatively undeveloped, preserving their natural beauty and traditional way of life.
Popular with backpackers and luxury travelers alike, the Yasawas offer unique experiences from village homestays to exclusive resorts, with world-class snorkeling, diving with manta rays, and cultural immersion opportunities throughout the chain.
