Adults Only Haven

Matamanoa Island is an intimate and secluded Fijian Resort. We are set in the beautiful Mamanuca Islands of Fiji approximately 30 kilometres west of the Nadi International Airport.

One Island – One Resort

With only 47 rooms, Matamanoa is for those who dream of peace and tranquillity. Come ashore and experience a true gift of nature.

Matamanoa is 4-star adults only with a minimum age to visit of 16 years.

Island Dreaming

The Island boasts a volcanic cone jutting out of the azure waters of this marine sanctuary. Clad with native bush and palm trees, the brilliance of the vegetation contrasts magnificently with the white curved sandy beaches and coral reefs. Combined with nature, we have created a haven for those who want to relinquish the pressures of a busy lifestyle.

Little Island

Matamanoa allows you complete days of rest or a wide range of leisure activities and cultural excursions: swim in the infinity pool and soak up the vistas; or snorkel in the beautiful Pacific Ocean; try your hand at tennis or sip a long cocktail at the bar as the sun sets; experience the treetop spa, Senaki, and be massaged with the scent of exotic aroma oils, a truly heavenly experience. Discover the magic of this beautiful Island and make new memories.

Big Personality

With their magnetic charm and genuine playful nature, the Matamanoa team is among the friendliest in Fiji. Prepare to be captivated by the string band as they serenade our dining guests; marvel at Sekio’s prowess as he demonstrates and teaches the art of palm weaving; if you feel inclined, join in with the hilarious after dinner games. From your big Bula welcome to your Isa Lei farewell, like so many others, you may fall in love with this little island family.

"Great place to unwind"

After spending 5 nights at this resort, we didn’t want to leave. The staff were friendly and often addressed us by name and our beachfront bure was very spacious and clean. There was a daily welcome ceremony “Bula Time” to introduce new guests and farewell those departing the next day. The food was good and activities were varied enough to keep us busy (when we wanted to be that is). Unlike some reviewers, we were more than happy not to have TV or WiFi in our room as that was the whole point of the trip .. to get away from everything and unwind.

★★★★★ 5/5

"Adults only Paradise"

Matamanoa was an incredible island which exceeded all expectations even after looking at the glowing reviews. The island itself is pristine and untouched with great rooms and facilities. The food and staff were what made this resort next level – nothing was too much trouble. Matamanoa is the only resort/hotel on the island – unlike other adults only resorts. Easy to find your own piece of private beach.

★★★★★ 5/5

"Like Coming Home"

The best part about this resort are the people who work there. They welcome you warmly and it is obvious that they all get along so well. By the end of my trip I felt like one of the Matamanoa family. The music was special, thanks to a visitor who sang with the island band and entertained me and the other guests alike.

Some people complain about the wifi only being available in the public areas and not in the rooms, but I think they are missing the point. It forces you to disconnect from the online world and get in touch with the real world of people and experiences. As someone who runs their own business, I was grateful not to have to work when I was there. I needed it.

The beach is amazing and the infinity pool has an beautiful view of the ocean and surrounding islands.

Bula to all the staff there, I miss my new family already.

"Beautiful island with outstanding staff and amazing attention to detail!"

After a 7 night stay on Matamanoa Island, leaving yesterday was hard! We had the most fantastic time; made perfect by all of the beautiful staff. We can’t thank Seko, Sai, Save, Mela, Naca, Lai, Alesi, Scoby, Jale, Tara and Emily enough for their hospitality, laughter and genuine friendship throughout our stay.

We absolutely loved our Beachfront Bure #42. A spacious Fijian style interior with shady cabana and private plunge pool. We really appreciated its privacy and immediate access to the beach.

Whilst only a small island, Matamanoa has everything you need to relax and unwind…or if you’re my husband’s way inclined…wear yourself out! Every day, a schedule of activities is posted. I don’t think there was anything we didn’t try – Fijian basket weaving, nature walking, Fijian cooking lessons, beach volleyball, Bocce, Staff cultural shows, kava ceremonies, international crab racing and evening fun and games. You’ll even be awarded a certificate of participation at evening ‘Bula Time’ – we’ve got plenty to frame when we get home!!!!

The snorkelling was fantastic. It’s great to know that the reef is regenerating and that resort staff are dedicated to preserving its current state. Head out to the drop off to see an abundance of fish, reef shark and even Tommy the Turtle! Snorkelling trips/PADI diving/transfers to neighbouring islands can be arranged at the Deep Blue Dive shop.

Flowers for the ladies each meal time, cold towels to start before dinner, a varied menu of both Fijian and western cuisine of an excellent standard. If you’re looking for an island that pays attention to the smaller details, where staff know your name and go out of their way to make sure you have the best Fijian experience, you won’t be disappointed.

Thanks also to General Manager Mela for her hospitality during our stay! We will absolutely be back again to see our new Matamanoa family!

Vinaka vaka levu to you all!

"Nice and Chic resort, highly recommend"

It is a very small island, but it is very nice and chic. The resort is very clean, no bugs at all, you don’t need to worry about bugs or mosquitoes. The service is great! They provide flowers to each lady on each meal. During dinner, they provide nice local song/dance shows. The WIFI is very good. and All the people are very nice and helpful. The dive center there is the best. There are many hiking trails around, all of them well designed, the view is awesome! We will come back again! Really love it.

"AMAZING!!!"

My husband and I just returned from Matamanoa island. This was our first stop in Fiji for our honeymoon and I cannot say enough amazing things.
The resort itself is impeccable, the bures are spacious and gorgeous, and the food is fabulous! It really was heaven on earth.

However, I would like to spend the majority of my review on the service at matamanoa. We were absolutely blown away by the warm and genuine hospitality that was shown to us by each and every member of the staff. They make you feel like family so quickly and it is so amazing.

Specifically Lani-she is the absolute best of the best! My husband and I will never be able to express our immense gratitude for all she did for us. We had an unfortunate circumstance with a lost passport and Lani not only coordinated our travel to the US embassy but she accompanied us throughout the entire journey as well! We will always remember and cherish Lani. She is truly the sweetest and most genuine woman and we are so lucky to know her.

If you are considering Fiji, Matamnoa is hands down the best choice!!

"Wow! best vacation ever"

My two friends and I stayed on Matamanoa for a 30th birthday trip this week – we absolutely cannot wait to return. We got our scuba certifications with the amazing staff at Deep Blue, our worlds are forever changed! Emma is the best, we were so lucky to have her as our dive instructor. On the accommodation side, our beach bure was all we could have dreamed up and more. We watched the sunset from either our hammock or our plunge pool overlooking the beach every-night. Unreal. The entire staff is so so nice, we are honestly hoping to return every year! A total dream.

"Best honeymoon destination"

Couldn’t recommend this resort enough. We stayed for 5 days as part of our Honeymoon and it was honestly the best bit, we wished we were staying longer.
Firstly our transfer was seamless, we were greeted by a warm welcome song when we arrived and a complementary massage. The island is absolutely beautiful, there are plenty of activities or you can just relax. The snorkeling is amazing, the reef is just on your doorstep and there are so many beautiful fish, also moray eels and even an octopus!
The staff were fantastic, as was the food. Special thanks to everyone – you made our holiday better than we could have dreamt!!

"Gorgeous island. Perfect honeymoon"

My husband and I stayed here for a week as part of our honeymoon. This place is pure heaven! We stayed in a hut right on the beach front with gorgeous views of the ocean from our bedroom window. We had our own private plunge pool which had sun in the morning and early afternoon. Our hut was spacious and cleaned to a high standard daily. As it was our honeymoon we were given a bottle of sparkling wine and a fruit basket in the fridge as well as a wooden plaque with our names on on the front door of our hut.
The food here is amazing. The breakfast and lunch time menu was the same every day and can become a little bit samey but the evening menu changed daily. I’m a fussy eater but I never had a problem finding something I liked. The steak dishes and the butter chicken dish were delicious! The staff here are incredibly friendly and greet you by name with a big smile on their faces. You are welcomed to the island by a number of the staff singing the ‘bula’ (welcome) song. They also singing this song every night at dinner to all new arrivals that day.
I would definitely recommend this island resort for anyone looking for a getaway in paradise.

"Beautiful Location, Great Service"

Last week we spent 5 days on the Island. Beach front Villa. Just fabulous. The room was excellent and the location superb. The staff were friendly and helpful. Everything is charged in Fijian dollars. When you convert back to our currency it is very realistic for an Island holiday. Highly reccomend.

"Truly Paradise"

I just returned from a 2 week trip to Fiji. Matamanoa Island Resort was the 3rd/last resort we stayed at. Wow! It was simply amazing. This was my 50th birthday trip and I arrived at Matamonoa 2 days after my birthday but they still presented me with a cake and sang happy birthday to me on our first night. I was very surprised and touched!

We were there 6 nights and stayed in a Villa. I highly recommend the splurge of the Villa. It was very nice, private, and such amazing views. The room was perfect. Great housekeeping. We were in Burre 55 which was great location in the middle of the row of villas. We had no foot traffic other than workers a few times in front of our villa. The Villas are a short, beautiful walk from the restaraunt, bar, and main pool. They also have a golf cart that will take you back and forth if its raining or you just don’t feel like walking. The property itself is very nice and well kept. It has modern fixtures and furnishings.

The food was really good. Some of the best I had on the whole trip. I recommend getting the meal plan. It really isn’t that expensive and you don’t have to worry about the prices of things. It was plenty of food and variety. We never went hungry. They have a good selection of drinks at the bar. We Brought over champagne from Nadi which we enjoyed while hanging out in our villa.

We did the Castaway trip which was fun. My BF went on a dive to the Supermarket and said it was amazing. We also got a couples massage which was also really fun and a good quality massage. The beaches around the property are beautiful. It can be a bit windy and we didn’t have great luck snorkeling off the beach but others did. We spent the days hanging out in our Villa pool and the beach. It was absolutlely the best ever.

What really makes this resort in my opinion is the staff. I can’t say enough good things about every single one of them! Many of them are from the village on a neighboring island and they are truly family. The are happy and so friendly. Most of them called us by our names from the moment we arrived. Amazing how they remember everyone’s name but it made us feel special. Every request was received with a friendly smile and positive attitude. We felt they truly went out of their way to ensure we had a memorable visit. With so many places in the world to visit, I often never say I will go back to a place, no matter how good it is. But I will definitely go back to Matamonoa if I am back in Fiji! I recommend it to everyone, you won’t be disappointed. I really didn’t want to leave.

Thank you Matamonoa family for your genuine hospitality and making my 50th birthday trip one I will never forget!

Peace, Love, and Happiness to all of the Matamonoa Island Resort family!
