The 20 islands of the Mamanucas, with their unrivalled diving, soft corals and teeming marine life. The jewel-like Yasawas; offering picturesque havens for yachtsmen, honeymooners and the world’s rich and famous. Irresistible.

A short hop aboard a catamaran, seaplane or helicopter from Fiji’s capital Nadi brings you to the Mamanucas, where you can dive in seas rich in soft corals, multi-coloured fish and exotic marine creatures. There are, for example, so many batfish that one area is called Gotham City, and the Big W has its own, resident bronze whale shark. The beaches are similarly impressive – the movie ‘Castaway’ was shot on deserted Monuriki Island, close to the welcoming island of Matamanoa.
