Surrounding Area

Matana Beach Resort is located on Kadavu Island, the fourth largest island in the Fiji group, south of Viti Levu. The resort is located less than 15 minutes from Vunisea, the Island's 'capital' with airport and hospital, post office and some shops, and has a beautiful all-tide sandy beach. Right next to the Resort are two traditional villages where our guests can experience authentic Fijian culture and lifestyle. There are treks behind the resort with magnificent hilltop views. Scuba diving is one of the main activities at the resort, with some of the world's best dive sites just 'at the doorstep', including the Namalata, Rooper, Nabukelevu-I-ra and Great Astrolabe Reefs. Dive Kadavu is a PADI dive center on Matana Beach Resort's premises, offering a full range of dive courses. Equipped with 2 dive boats and over 60 tanks, Dive Kadavu can take you to over 40 exclusive divesites, most of them only 5 - 20 minutes from the resort. NEW: Dive and snorkel in an 'undiscovered' marine reserve, 20 minutes from the resort. There are no roads near the resort, in fact, no significant roads at all on the island, the main means of transport is by boat or by foot. Being the closest resort to the airport, getting to Matana Beach Resort is easy with a pleasant boatride along the palm-fringed coastline. For more information check our website.
