Blue Lagoon

Go Back

Iconic, Tranquil, Picturesque

The Blue Lagoon, set in the heart of the Yasawa Islands, is one of Fiji’s most famous and photogenic locations, known for its calm turquoise waters, powdery white sands, and cinematic scenery. Made famous by the 1980 film of the same name, this natural lagoon is now a sought-after destination for romantic weddings, photography-rich celebrations, boutique incentive escapes, and wellness retreats where nature itself becomes the venue.

The main accommodation in the area, Blue Lagoon Beach Resort, offers a relaxed yet elegant setting with a mix of beachfront villas, garden bungalows, and family suites. For more exclusive groups, Nanuya Island Resort provides a boutique, adults-only experience perfect for smaller, high-end gatherings. Both properties have beachfront event spaces, outdoor dining areas under palm trees, and access to the lagoon’s sheltered waters for activities that double as unforgettable event backdrops.

Event organisers are drawn here by the lagoon’s natural beauty and intimacy. The sheltered bay allows for smooth, glassy water — perfect for paddleboarding sessions during wellness retreats, floating platforms for cocktail hours, or even romantic candlelit dinners right at the water’s edge. Cultural elements can be woven into programmes through partnerships with local villages, offering traditional kava ceremonies, meke dance performances, and handicraft markets for guests to explore.

For adventurous groups, nearby attractions such as the Sawa-i-Lau Caves and guided island treks provide unique teambuilding activities. Snorkelling and diving trips can be arranged to explore vibrant reefs and marine sanctuaries just minutes from the shore. These experiences not only entertain but also immerse attendees in Fiji’s famed natural environment.

Access to the Blue Lagoon is primarily by boat transfer — either via high-speed catamaran from Nadi or private yacht charter — though seaplane transfers are an option for those seeking a dramatic aerial arrival. This remoteness creates a sense of “journey” that adds to the overall event narrative, making the destination feel earned and special.

The best-suited event types here include intimate beach weddings of 20–50 guests, wellness retreats built around sunrise yoga and lagoon swims, photography-based incentive programmes taking advantage of the stunning vistas, and private celebrations that call for a postcard-perfect setting. Evening events often take place under a canopy of stars, with soft lighting from tiki torches and the gentle lap of waves providing the soundtrack.

For attendees, the Blue Lagoon delivers exactly what its name promises — a serene, otherworldly escape from the ordinary. Whether they’re here to celebrate love, reconnect as a team, or recharge body and mind, the setting leaves a lasting impression, one that’s as much about the feeling of peace as it is about the beauty itself.
