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.

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.

"Simply Amazing"

I have spent a couple of nights in this beautiful Paradise.
My beachfront bure was simply perfect!

I have been treated like a princess for the entire stay.

I was like enough to have an amazing massage at the Senikai Spa which is located right in front of the Ocean. You can feel the breeze and hear the sound of the ocean while you enjoy a relaxing massage… no words can describe!

I have also done a “Discover Scuba Diving” organized by Deep Blue Diving and Watersport which allowed me to discover the spectacular reef with heaps of fishes, a Manta and reef sharks.

Highly recommended.

"A private paradise!!"

On our honeymoon, our agency suggested this beautiful resort on the Matamanoa atoll in the Mamanuhas island. Wonderful private villa on the beach with a wonderful view towards the sunset, spacious and splendid (cleaning service twice a day with care for fresh flowers in the morning and candies in the evening). Spa service for a fee but for massages. All for free snorkelling. Friendly, personable and friendly staff. Exceptional food thanks to chef Tony. Don’t miss it.

"What a lovely welcome back...!"

Wow we received such a lovely welcome back from all of the staff we met last August! A lovely Bula Welcome Back spelled out on the bed with delicate fern leaves! The Fijian people are such warm and friendly people. What more can you ask for Escaping the Winter in New Zealand to warm tropical weather here at Matamanoa!!!

"Happy place"

SInce I was travelling by myself I was warned that I would be annoyed by all the honeymooners around. But honestly: This island offers enough space and I found my spots and enjoyed the beach and the food and the calm. You are shuttled by ferry to a meeting point off the island – and then there is a smaller hotel boat that gets you to the beach. Staff is so very friendly and you are greeted with the traditional lei made of small shells. The rooms are garden rooms, beachfront villas and private beach villas. I had a garden room – totally fine. AC and ventilator – no heat at all. Comfy bed, big bathroom with a nice shower, a small kitchen with milk and filtered water for coffee. No TV – thank god! Free Wifi only at the pool – but you can buy an international sim card beforehand – that will work with the Digicel net in Fiji and in your room, too. Daily cleaning, very nice ladies take care of your well being and provide you with everything you need… beach towels are provided – and changed. The food is great – nice variety of continental and local dishes. I almost always had fish, since they get it right off the ocean in front 🙂 beach is beautiful – low tide in the morning, high tide towards late afternoon. And during the night, the beach is completely washed up by the waves. You get to the beach from the pool area or next to the beach villas through a little pass in the bushes…The reef around protects from heavy surf. Clear water, nice snorkeling spots, the best are at the reef (outside of it) – where you see blacktip sharks and turtles. The diving company offers free snorkeling trips every day – so you can explore. I booked a trip to the next island – where Tom Hanks shot his movie “Castaway” – very interesting. 5 days of bliss at this resort. I would go there again!

"Meraviglia! Vinaka Vakalevu!!"

A marvel of resort, we “settled” for the hotel room, magnificent, big everything in working order, very comfortable king bed, perfect in short. We were lucky enough to have full board and so for 6 days we enjoyed all the specialties that the perfect kitchen he proposed every day, excellent quality, freshness of every food from the morning. The staff is super, very kind, very attentive, went out with them to make various excursions both for snorkeling and for visiting Monuriki, perfect that too. In short, the last night I was really moved, the sea super already a few meters from the shore. But as an old lady I advise young people to arrive with rock-climbing shoes, even if they give everything for snorkeling they are perfect to go around the whole island! And you’re not alone in the pool !!!

"Wonderful stay in paradise..."

My wife and I recently stayed on Matamanoa, the Island Resort hotel. A stunning location and experience. The staff are wonderful, friendly, helpful, hospitable and always smiling!! The food was outstanding. We went out snorkeling & handline fishing with Deep Blue Fiji, the resident water sports company. They were excellent and showed the best places to go. To our surprise, my wife and I caught a 3kg Trevally each, plus Mahns, our fishing and snorkeling guide also caught one, I never a bigger smile!!. That evening, the local chef cooked our fish to perfection to our taste, the following day, we finished it off and it’s the best fish n chips ever. We thoroughly recommend Matamanoa, it’s true paradise!!!

"Highlight of our trip - and our lives"

Matamanoa Island is simply divine. We are so happy we booked a 3 night stay on this gorgeous piece of paradise. Only complaint is we wished we stayed longer! The water is crystal turqouise blue and clear. The sand is white and soft. The lush greenery and birdlife is beautiful. The coral and fish are beautiful and well worth a snorkel. All the snorkel gear and canoe gear was free to borrow. We were greeted with a beautiful welcome song and drink. The rooms are very clean and romantic and cozy with traditional decor. Fan and heatpump. There is no TV or wifi in the rooms but that’s how we like it. If you want wifi it’s just a quick stroll to the main area, where its free. Everyone greeted us everywhere we went and staff were friendly. You felt like you were in a very high class establishment because it wasn’t too busy and it was adult only. We like kids but sometimes you just want to enjoy a drink in the pool and not have a kid bomb next to you. We loved the adult only aspect. When we saw kids on the way home on the ferry we realised how good it had been. The food is yum and not as expensive as some places in Fiji. The lunch menu in particular was very good and affordable. Breakfast was very good as well. The spa offers a complimentary foot ritual on arrival which was just divine. The spa area is gorgeous and is just a sight to behold. Every couple of night the hotel sets up an outdoor dining area right on the pool edge overlooking the sea. It was magical. We felt like VIPs the whole time we were there. We are a bit sad that we can probably not return for a long time because we are expecting a baby. Thank you Matamanoa for the highlight of our trip and for memories we will have forever!

"Loved every minute"

We were lucky enough to stay 6 nights at Matamanoa Island resort from 16/6 to 22/6. Where do I start? Beachside Bure sunset side was our first room, spacious, clean, beautiful view & comfortable bed. Loved the outdoor area, the plunge pool and relaxing cabana. The sound of the ocean lapping at the shores just metres away so beautiful. Main area of resort offers a relaxing experience. Right near the restaurant, bar and office. Fabulous views both night & day. Many places to chill in the sun or out of the sun. Water on tap too, a nice touch. Restaurant offers all meals & is the only restaurant on the island. I recommend purchasing full board as the prices are not cheap, a red meat meal for dinner costs around $70 FJ. The breakfast is not full buffet, they offer a menu, choice of one and basic buffet. Lunch & dinner menu changes each day and offers a wide variety of choice. We enjoyed the food immensely and the alfresco evenings were stunning! The staff are just gorgeous, we met beautiful friendly souls who made our holiday even better. A big shout out to Nat, Adi, Deru (spelling?), Naomi and the general manager Mela. Cannot thank you all enough. We also experienced a Beach Bure on the sunrise side of resort. Again, great spaces. Loved the hammock! I do not think I have ever relaxed that much in my life than when I was in that hammock. Please if you can visit the local island village, it certainly put our Fijian holiday into perspective & gave us a wonderful opportunity to purchase souvenirs which assist the community. A highlight for us. Snorkelling was just amazing, free hire and one metre in and you are all amongst it. Wildlife: The birds. The geckos. Walking: The walks we did were the volcanic cone, the low tide walk around the island and the bridge around to the villa side of the island. Senakai spa was visited a number of times. Absolutely stunning views up there and great treatments on offer. I recommend bringing in duty free alcohol, bar will provide ice and you have to buy mixers. Also, snacks are also a good idea to bring with you. Activities were offered each day we loved the Cultural evening! The voices we were blessed to hear (every night at dinner and at the cultural evening) were incredible. My heart melted each time the staff sang. All in all a wonderful resort. Loved it as you will.

"Perfect ending for honeymoon"

Perfect conclusion after a long tour in Australia. An island in the middle of the ocean exclusive only for the resort’s tourists, crystal clear sea, coral reef and colorful fish a few meters from the shore (not the most beautiful in the world but not bad), always smiling staff that plays and sings as soon as possible , wooden resort with palm trees and tropical birds around, fruit and sparkling wine in the bungalow, excursions (for a fee of $ 85-180) and activities (free) every day, snorkeling equipment, diving, canoeing, etc. … how do you do in don’t talk about it well? Free and fast wifi in the hall and on the pool, for a fee in the room. Even the kitchen and cocktails are not bad. A little paradise. Obviously around there are other similar and perhaps more beautiful islands … but we had a great time.a gorgeous peaceful walk along the ocean and at night walking under the stars is lovely. I have never experienced such a nice staff as we did here. The staff is so curtious and genuinely kind, EVERYONE always greets you with a smile and checks in on you. The only complaint would be the food. Having the same menu for lunch for 5 days can be quiet boring. The breakfast is very bland, not many options for lunch and dinner was just okay. The last night our dinner was perfect though, they should offer a fish dish every night. The fish dinner was the best meal I had while traveling in Fiji. We did the spa at sunset and was that was spectacular. The views and sounds of the crashing waves along with the couples massage paired perfectly. We did the Cast Away tour, Island Hop and scuba dived. Highly recommend all 3 activities. The staff of Deep Blue is truly some of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. If this resort wasn’t 30 hours of traveling, we would go back every year.
