Moody's Namena Resort, Fiji is an environmentally friendly, private South Pacific island getaway and offers scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing or honeymoon vacations with deluxe Fijian bure accommodation. The Resort is a secluded paradise with white sand beaches as well as hiking trails through tropical forest.

Rising dramatically from the depths of the Koro Sea and on the fringe of Bligh Waters, the mile-long 110 acre island of Namenalala is surrounded by one of Fiji's most pristine diving and snorkeling reef ecosystems known as the Namena Barrier Reef. This reef is acclaimed by diving publications as one of Fiji's best sites.

Bird-watching is a popular pastime and you will site a variety of tropical bird species within the nature reserve. Giant sea turtles also come ashore to nest.

The Resort

To make the most of spectacular vistas of reefs, beaches and distant islands, our resort is located on the cliff top where one has panoramic views and catches the trade winds as well. The various 'bure' sites were chosen carefully and spaced hundreds of yards apart to provide the ultimate in privacy.

Our six exclusive bures are hexagonal and built of native woods to blend with the environment. Several walls have floor-to-ceiling sliding louvered doors so when fully opening the doors there are 180 degree views out to sea. The bedrooms are dominated by a king-size canopy bed and bathrooms feature his/her toilets and an over-size shower.

‘Vale ni kana ’ Club House and Dining

This is our central gathering place with lounge area, dining, self-serve bar and large paperback library. Dining is usually communal and a time to share the day's experiences with fellow guests. However, for our romantics or honeymoon couples who prefer to dine alone, our staff are happy to set up a table on the patio. Our kitchen staff bake breads, pastries, cakes daily and can cater to your dietary requirements.

We grow our own bananas, pineapples, lemons/limes, papaya, soursop, sugar apples, heart of palm, coconuts and other tropical fruits and vegetables. Our cuisine is a blend of local and international fare and staff is happy to share or swap recipes.

Namena Marine Reserve

The vast 30 kilometer Namena Barrier Reef is a marine reserve with all commercial fishing banned. The South Pacific claims over 300 varieties of coral (as compared to around 30 in the Caribbean seas). Snorkelers have the same opportunity as divers to enjoy the underwater world and, depending on prevailing sea conditions, snorkelers are invited to join divers on the main reef at no additional charge. There are also reefs along the shoreline which are excellent year around.

Other Complimentary Activities

Kayaking and hiking are popular pastimes on Namena. Kayak from beach to beach or around the whole island (2-3 hours) Or, spend a morning or afternoon hiking to the Dragon's Head where you’ll find the remains of an ancient ring fortification - relics of the migratory Lapita people who lived in the islands prior to present-day Fijians; plus, truly spectacular views far out to sea. Beach volleyball is a daily activity and we also offer fishing - either handline or trolling. If you feel 'lazy', crawl into one of the hammocks at the beach and take a snooze or read a book from our large paperback library.
