Fiji has hundreds of beaches that most visitors never see. From boat-access-only coves on Kadavu to deserted stretches on Vanua Levu, here are the hidden beaches worth seeking out — and how to reach them.
Matava is Fiji's premier eco-adventure resort, set on Kadavu Island where volcanic rainforest drops to the Great Astrolabe Barrier Reef. It holds a 4.6/5 TripAdvisor rating from 347 reviews and is ranked #1 of 1 resort on Kadavu. There is no air conditioning, no road access, no swimming directly at the property, and no electricity beyond basic lighting — and the guests who go knowing all of that tend to call it one of the most memorable stays of their lives.
