The first time I stepped on to the beach of Matangi's privately owned 240 acre island retreat, I had to pinch myself back to reality!


Matagi Resort & Accomodations

As we stepped off the boat onto Matangi Island we were greeted by a friendly Fijian smile and a fresh coconut drink with a bright red hibiscus dangling off the side. The staff lead us through Matangi's beautiful gardens of this South Pacific paradise to the office.

After we had checked in, our Fijian hostess guided us to our beachfront bure, where we are shown the amenities of our 900 square ft bungalow "bure".

With a coffee and tea making facility and mini bar we were set to brew fresh Fijian coffee as the sun rose the next morning. A refreshing Fiji beer enjoyed on our private covered verandah was my poison at sunset that night.

As the days unfolded, we where truly pampered by the Douglas family and their 45 Matangi Island Resort staff members. After a delicious breakfast of fresh tropical fruits and juices along with the cooked to order fares, we went scuba diving.

SCUBA Diving at Matangi Island Resort

The comfortable dive boats, are a joy to dive from. On any given day, Matangi Island Resort's uncrowded dive boats take up to 12 lucky dives. On this trip there were usually only 6-8 divers on the boat. Matangi's excellent Fijian dive guides took us to dramatic walls that are covered with multi-hued soft corals and thousands of tropical fish.

The boats made our diving effortless with easy on and off dive decks. Matangi Island Resort's guides spoil you by taking care of your gear before and after the dives and serving you a snack of cookies and coffee or tea in-between dives. If you don't have your own dive gear... no problem... the resort has it to rent at reasonable rates. For those hard core divers that just can't get enough Matangi has shore diving available day or night a few steps walk from the dive shop.

Activities - Matangi Island Resort

Afternoons were filled with activities organized by the resort. A trip to a neighboring island to visit a Fijian village is a must. We sat with the local villagers and their chief sharing the traditional Kava ceremony . The village visit encounter is an experience not to be missed. My first taste of the age old custom drink Kava or "grog" as the locals say, was of a numbing sensation and I thought I had just drank dirty sock water! Through the years this drink has grown on me and now I am know as the Kava Queen of Matangi Island Resort.

We also had BBQ's in Matangi Island Resort's beautiful Horseshoe Bay. After a fabulous lunch we snorkeled on the hard coral reefs to rid us of our excess calories. This beautiful bay can be reserved by any couple for a private picnic lunch, a romantic time that will live on and on in your memories.

For those more adventurous Matangi Island Resort visitors there are complimentary sailboats, wind surfers, and kayaks, located right at the beach.

The Aqua staff are always eager to help with any of the activities. After a rest and relaxing moment watching another day end, we gather at the dining bure to share stories of the days events with the other guests. If you want some time alone Matangi Island Resort will arrange a private dinner on the beach by candle light or in your bure.

To really spoil yourself try staying in one of Matangi's "treehouse" bures. One is located 30 feet off the ground, in a Pacific Almond tree and the other one up on a cliffside. Both bures have wonderful views of the islands of Qamea and Taveuni across the Tasman Straits and plenty of privacy. They also feature outdoor and indoor showers, luxuriously appointed decor and fresh flowers daily. You get the feeling that for a short time you own a piece of your own South Seas paradise.

Whether you are going to Fiji for a world class dive trip or for a very romantic honeymoon Matangi Island Resort is very hard to beat.

We feel it's a tremendous value for your travel dollar into Fiji. Matangi Island Resort was voted by Conde Nast Traveler magazine as one of top 25 small island getaway resorts in the world. You owe it to yourself to be spoiled at least once in your life by the Magic that is Matangi.
