Navini Island Resort - Accommodation Features

Navini Island is just one hour from Nadi Airport - with private car and boat transfers at times to suit you.

Resort staff meet you at the international airport or mainland hotels when it suits you, and within an hour you can be swimming off the beach, or lounging under a thatched umbrella with a refreshing drink.

The ?no day trippers? policy ensures there are never any crowds on Navini... This Fiji Resort with just 10 bures, is for guests only; an ideal honeymoon destination.
 
All daily trips out fishing, village visits and use of water sports equipment are complimentary.

You can and will stroll around the island in 10 minutes, surveying your domain from the circle of the beach on this true coral cay rising a few metres from lapping tides. In from the beach are coconut palms and shady big-leafed trees, and a profusion of tropical flowers picked daily to decorate your Fijian bure and dining table.  

The greatest pleasure of Navini's 36 island staff (who outnumber guests), is your enjoyment of the happiest, most relaxed holiday possible. Nothing is too much trouble for these friendly, smiling people; their enthusiasm and laughter are infectious, their generous and hospitable natures equalled very seldom around the world.   

With so few guests and so many staff, Navini offers you a chance to experience the true Fijian culture and hospitality.

Activities

At Navini, your time is your own. A major decision is whether to snorkel around Navini's reef, join the complimentary morning outing which may be to the local village, trolling or dropline fishing over one of the neighbouring reefs, snorkelling around bombies and over bright coral walls, visiting other island resorts, or joining an occasional shopping trip to Nadi town.

From the Island, you can explore the coral reef sanctuary, take out the hobie-cat sailboat, borrow snorkelling gear to watch the colourful fish, try the sailboard, spyboard, kayaks, or the seacycles. All complimentary.   

The afternoon volleyball game is an option. So is lying under a thatched umbrella reading a book from the resort library, or for a really relaxing experience, enjoy a Fijian style massage.

There is no swimming pool on Navini. However, there is a beautiful, refreshing, calm and much more interesting sea, just a few steps away.

There is also the opportunity to go Scuba diving, para sailing, or sports fishing; the only activities for which you'll pay a modest fee.

Dining

Navini offers a tantalising selection of innovative, traditional and Fijian dishes, with choices at all meals. Dinner includes appetizer, soup, a variety of main courses including vegetarian, and desserts. Fresh fish and tropical fruits are always there, but never the only alternative. Everything the Navini kitchen serves is prepared there, from fresh baked breads to home made ice creams.

Navini's open air dining room is fully licensed, with a wide selection of cocktails, good Fijian beer and a broad selection of wines.

Private candlelight - and starlight - dinners can be set up at a flower-laden table for two, on the beach in front of your bure.

Entertainment

The soft harmonies of the staff singers and guitars in the evening, with coconut shells ('bilos') of the traditional drink, kava, while the vidi vidi (say 'vindy vindy') board gets a workout; laughter and conversation are the staples.

About once a week, Navini has a Fijian night with a big 'lovo' dinner taken steaming from the underground oven, or a traditional meke performance by the staff, which tells old and new stories in song. The night's kava ceremony gives way to Fijian singing by the staff, and then to a session of laughter and all-join-in dancing of what is known traditionally as a 'tara-la-la'.
