Viwa Island Resort

Amazing! Lots of planned activities. The friendliest staff in the world.

Viwa is an amazing place to stay; the staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, the location is outstanding, and the accommodations are fantastic, especially when you remember how isolated this island is. The fact that they offer WiFi and AC is very impressive. The beach is super soft and the snorkeling is amazing, just steps from the resort. The excursions are also so much fun! We went on the guided snorkel and saw barracudas, a lobster, and so many colorful fish! The best part was swimming with a turtle. The staff at Viwa will go out of their way to make you happy and comfortable. Everyone is friendly and are happy to chat with you about the area and any questions you might have. The food is also really good, especially since you have multiple options to choose from. Overall this resort is everything you could hope for and so much more. Fiji is an amazing place to visit and Viwa, in particular, is a gem.

Viwa was literally amazing. The staff is so friendly and welcoming and the island is beautiful. Because it is on a beach, be prepared to have sand in your room a bit, but if you're okay with that then this is really a must visit place.

A long white beach shared with just a few people, water as clear as glass, a spectacular reef for diving, stylish and comfortable accommodation (with air-conditioning and fans), very good food and beautiful, friendly staff who sing in gorgeous multi-part harmonies morning, noon and night. A small village nearby where you can meet Fijian people and get some insight into the culture, otherwise it's just long, lazy days, reading and snorkelling in paradise.

Beautiful location on a white, sandy beach. Very welcoming, friendly & helpful staff. A big thank you to everyone at Viwa for a wonderful, relaxing 10 days.

This truly was a perfect South Pacific island experience like no other! With only 11 bures (all beach-front) this intimate coral reef island resort is beautifully appointed without being fussy. From the moment we landed by seaplane at the beach in front of the resort to a Fijian welcome song we knew we'd stumbled onto something special. Sheung, the hostess with the mostest, brilliantly assisted by Akila, arranged everything we could have hoped for in need of a relaxing 6-day getaway, including a 'cast-away' private island escape on Christmas Day with chilled food hamper and champagne under a specially constructed palm-leaf shelter. Every meal prepared by Mali and his kitchen delightfully took advantage of locally caught seafood (thank you Mali for the birthday cake you made for Louise's birthday). Your only decisions to be made are what to order for lunch and dinner and whether to choose to take in local events organised to further broaden your experience such as village visits, sea kayaking or snorkelling at the coral reefs that surround the resort. The Fijian staff (special mention to Vata, Maria, Melia and Sera) want you to have a beautiful visit and listening to their harmonised singing made you feel you were in a 1940's Hollywood movie. We miss the island and want to return as soon as we can!

Viwa Island is an amazing Desert Island Paradise. Other than two small villages (no stores / no restaurants) the resort is the only thing on the island. The staff is extremely welcoming and make you feel like part of the village. Although the menu is somewhat limited, the food is EXCELLENT. If you are looking for a place to relax and unplug, this is it. The beach is gorgeous and you feel like you have it all to yourself. They have free snorkel excursions where they take you to local reefs and you can use Kayaks and paddle boards as you like. They also usually have daily and nightly activities for fun and teach you about the Fijian culture.

People were great and warm. Feels so comfortable

Wonderfully relaxing holiday on a tropical island. Warm friendly staff. Beautiful location. Great snorkelling and diving. Good value for money, could probably find a more luxurious resort, but would then have to pay a premium. Would love to go back. Thanks to managment and staff... I won't name them because I don't want to leave anyone out.

We visited Viwa Island to celebrate our honeymoon and we believe we selected the best place to toast this special event. We spent 6 days in this wonderful hotel and we would readily extend our stay if circumstances permitted. We are rather fastidious travelers with sufficient experience with tropical islands so it is tough to impress us, but these guys did! Transportation There are two options to get to the island from the mainland: by plane or by ferry. We selected the ferry provided by Awesome Adventures Fiji as it was the cheapest option. The total trip time is around 3 hours (2.5 by ferry and 0.5 by speed boat). Room Rooms are spacious with many windows, fans and aircon. All rooms have sea view and large terrace with comfortable chairs. I love having a bathroom combined with a small garden, so I was very happy to see it in this hotel. The room condition was decent, very clean and housekept twice a day to a very high standard (including regular flowering of bed area). Each room is also equipped with assigned sunbeds and hammock – both on the beach. Beach The beach is incredible! It is long and gorgeous with crisp white sand and sparkling azure water. There are no rocks in the water enabling easy access into the water even at low tide. We enjoyed swimming near the beach especially at high tide. There are array of corral spots adjacent to the beach (circa 100m) for sea life encounters. There is also a very nice snorkeling in front of the main lobby and free daily trips
