Yasawa Island

Go Back

Remote, Pristine, Majestic

Yasawa Island is one of Fiji’s most spectacular and least crowded destinations, sitting at the northern edge of the Yasawa group. It’s a place of sweeping white-sand beaches, rugged volcanic peaks, and crystalline waters that feel untouched by time. Known for its privacy, natural grandeur, and cultural authenticity, Yasawa is ideal for exclusive weddings, executive retreats, and transformative wellness gatherings that require both beauty and seclusion.

The island’s signature accommodation, Yasawa Island Resort & Spa, is an all-inclusive, luxury hideaway with just 18 thatched beachfront bures. This limited capacity allows for full buyouts, turning the entire resort into a private event venue. Event spaces include long stretches of deserted beach for ceremonies, open-air dining pavilions for receptions, and shaded lawns overlooking the lagoon for more formal occasions.

A defining feature of Yasawa events is the ability to blend luxury with cultural immersion. The resort works closely with nearby villages to arrange meke dance performances, traditional feasts, and visits to local schools and churches — offering guests a connection to the Yasawa community that enriches the overall experience. For weddings, cultural touches such as Fijian choirs, warrior escorts, and locally woven decorations can create a powerful sense of place.

Natural wonders abound here. The island boasts 11 private beaches, many of which can be reserved for exclusive use — perfect for sunrise yoga, beach picnics, or intimate vow renewals. The surrounding waters are renowned for snorkelling and diving, with vibrant coral reefs and abundant marine life. Just offshore lies the Sawa-i-Lau Caves, a dramatic limestone grotto that’s a must-see for adventurous guests and a spectacular backdrop for photography.

Reaching Yasawa Island is part of the event’s magic. Guests can arrive via a 35-minute scenic flight from Nadi to the island’s private airstrip, or by chartered yacht for a more leisurely approach. This remoteness ensures a complete disconnect from the outside world — something that high-end incentive groups, wellness retreats, and privacy-focused weddings greatly value.

Event types that excel here include destination weddings of up to 36 guests, luxury corporate retreats that blend leisure with strategy sessions, wellness programmes centred on nature and rejuvenation, and exclusive milestone celebrations where the entire island feels like it belongs to the attendees.

For guests, Yasawa Island offers a rare sense of freedom. Days might be spent exploring reefs, kayaking in glassy lagoons, or simply walking along a beach with no one else in sight. Evenings are about starlit skies, warm ocean breezes, and the gentle rhythms of island life. It’s Fiji at its most untouched — an event setting that feels like a privilege to experience.
