Maqai Eco Resort – Qamea Island

Why We Love It

Because it’s the Fiji surf dream—uncrowded breaks, clean reef waves, and sometimes not a soul in sight. Maqai keeps it real: beach bures, jungle hikes, reef snorkels, and the kind of sunset storytelling you only get after a day chasing waves.

Add in local crew, fresh-cooked meals, and off-grid simplicity—and you’ve got serious heart for serious value.

Set on a wild stretch of white sand on Qamea Island, Maqai is a barefoot surf escape where you might just have the break all to yourself. Backed by jungle, fronted by reef, and powered by solar, this off-grid eco resort is all about waves, wonder, and the kind of Fiji stories that don’t come with a big price tag.

The beachfront bures are simple but full of soul—cooled by sea breeze, built for island living. You’ll wake to the sound of surf on the reef, fuel up on hearty, home-style Fijian meals, then paddle out for a session with no crowds and plenty of stoke.

When you’re not surfing, there’s snorkelling on the reef, hikes to jungle waterfalls, island picnics, and time to connect with the friendly local crew who make Maqai feel more like a village than a resort.

Who It's For

Surf travellers, solo wanderers, and adventurous couples who care more about clean waves and reef time than thread counts or room service. It’s perfect for backpackers chasing something real, small groups of mates on a surf mission, or anyone who wants to unplug, paddle out, and live simply by the tide. If you're into remote, raw, and reef-filled—Maqai’s waiting.

Koro Beach Resort

Why We Love It

Incredible oceanfront location without the luxury price tag

Airconditioned bures including twin and four share with private outdoor showers to 8 person bunk dorms, and hearty home-cooked meals

Genuine Fijian hospitality in a location where you can be as active or as peaceful as you choose.

Who It's For

Budget-savvy couples, friends and solo travellers.

Long-stay guests and island hoppers

Travelers wanting great value on a truly Fijian island without compromising on comfort

Koro Beach Resort proves you don’t need a five-star budget to live a million-star experience. Set on one of Fiji’s most untouched islands in the Lomaiviti group, this laid-back, eco-village style resort delivers everything that matters: beachfront bures, reef-filled waters just steps away, and a community vibe that makes solo travellers feel instantly at home. It’s simple, soulful, and designed for travellers who value experiences over excess.

And then there’s the reef. Koro’s coral systems are some of the least explored in Fiji—walls, bommies, caves, and soft coral gardens alive with friendly reef sharks, turtles, and swirling schools of fish. Snorkellers and divers alike are spoiled, with colourful shallows right off the jetty and deeper sites that feel like frontiers. It’s the kind of reef access you’d expect from a luxury resort, without the luxury price tag.

Life here is shaped by the tides, not the clock. Spend mornings with your laptop powered by Starlink, afternoons exploring the reef, and evenings swapping stories by the firepit. It’s affordable, authentic, and unforgettable—proof that value doesn’t mean compromise.

Wake to the sound of the sea, shower under the sky, and enjoy home-cooked Fijian meals made from ingredients grown in the village or caught that day. Days are yours to shape: dive the world-famous Rainbow Reef, plant coral with the team, hike to secret lookouts, or just sip tea and share stories with fellow travellers on the deck.

Divers and ocean lovers on a budget

Couples and solo travellers seeking simplicity and nature

Conscious travellers looking for value, purpose, and connection

Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort

Why We Love It

Because it makes family holidays feel easy and truly memorable. The Bula Club isn’t just a kids club — it’s daily adventures with reef walks, crafts, and games run by caring staff who treat your kids like family. While they’re off exploring, you can finally unwind — snorkel the house reef, have a drink by the pool, or just sit still under a palm tree. Add in tasty local food, friendly faces, and calm waters right at your doorstep — it’s the kind of simple, genuine experience that keeps families coming back.

Fringed by calm waters and tropical gardens, Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort is a haven for families who want more from their holiday — more connection, more discovery, and more time to just breathe. With just 25 spacious, traditionally styled bures and an unbeatable spot on Savusavu Bay, this laid-back eco-retreat blends barefoot comfort with genuine Fijian hospitality and a deep respect for the ocean.

And the best part? The much-loved Bula Club kids program — run by warm, caring local staff and marine educators — gives kids (from toddlers to teens) their own daily adventures. That means you can snorkel the vibrant house reef, join a guided village visit, or simply relax by the oceanfront pool with a good book and a sunset cocktail.

Each day brings something new: local crafts, cultural stories, rainforest walks, reef snorkels with a marine biologist, and hearty, wholesome meals made from fresh island produce and just-caught seafood. You’ll wake to birdsong, drift off to sleep with the sound of the tide, and in between — reconnect as a family in a place where the world slows down.

Who It's For

Families who want more than just a pool and kids menu. It’s for parents who dream of diving or downtime, kids who thrive on nature and real island fun, and anyone who wants a true Fiji escape that’s warm, welcoming, and doesn’t cost the earth. Perfect for first-timers and seasoned Fiji fans alike — a place to switch off, slow down, and make memories together.
