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

We are the only resort on 110 acre Namenalala Island; our maximum capacity is 12 guests as we have only 6 guest bures designed to accommodate a couple.

We are also the only resort located within the Namena Barrier Reef, now designated as the Namena Marine Reserve. World-class diving on both soft and hard coral, walls, bommies (sea mounts), swim-throughs and more.

Diving

Maximum time to dive site/mins: 25 min

The Namena Barrier Reef abounds with hundreds of varieties of reef fishes, nudibranchs, sea cucumbers (beche-de-mer), barracuda, sharks, trevally, clownfish, trigger fish, wrasse, an occasional manta, turtles and a multitude more sea creatures. After your dive, make use of our vast library of the underwater creatures you will have seen.

The Fiji Islands are known as the Soft Coral capital of the Pacific and the various colours and hues boggle the mind. Snorkelers have the same advantage as divers in enjoyment of the underwater world with the exception that snorkelers cannot remain for long periods of time beneath the surface as do our scuba diving companions.

Accommodations

Our resort bures are hexagonal and built of native woods, bamboo and cane to blend with the environment. As each bure is perched along the ridge, all are oceanfront and each has its own unique view out to sea, overlooking either the beach or the reefs at the base of the cliffs. Four of the six bures face northwesterly towards the southern coast of Vanua Levu. 'Lawendua' is named after the elegant long-tailed tropicbirds which nest in crevices of the cliff-face below the bure. Several walls have floor-to-ceiling sliding louvered doors so by fully opening the doors, one has a 180 degree view out to sea. Various tropical bushes, plants and fruit trees lend color and provide privacy between each bure.

One of the six sections of the hexagon is the bathroom area with his/her toilets & sinks joined by an over-size shower. The bedroom is dominated by a king-size canopy bed with mosquito netting draped around the base of the canopy. You'll find coffee/tea making facilities in the beautiful hardwood cabinet tucked in a corner of your bedroom. Romantic gas lamps, reminiscent of lighting at the turn of the century, provides 24 hour lighting. There are solar lamps for reading in bed along with a fan for our hot humid summers when the tradewinds are light. Piped-in gas runs your lights, hot water for showers and your tea kettle.

Dining

The large hexagonal bure, 'vale ni kana' - or clubhouse, is our central gathering place consisting of lounge area, dining, self-serve bar and houses a large paperback library. Here you will find books on fish and coral identification, birds, local culture & traditions. 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. Meals are included in the daily tariff. Our kitchen staff bake breads, pastries, cakes daily and can cater to your dietary requirements.

Complimentary Activities

Includes use of snorkeling equipment, snorkel excursions to the Namena Barrier Reef, canoeing, ocean kayaking, hiking trails across the 110 acre island, private beaches for romantic picnics, birdwatching, beach volleyball, fishing (either trolling or handline fishing the Fijian way). We do not take day tourists so the island is yours.
