Seventh Heaven Fiji - Floating Platform Day Club in the Mamanucas from Denarau

Seventh Heaven is a floating two-storey platform moored in the Mamanuca Islands, 45 minutes by boat from Port Denarau. It’s the newer, larger alternative to Cloud 9 — opened in 2022, approximately four and a half times bigger than its older rival, with more bathrooms, more lounging space, and a more family-accessible age policy (minimum 10, versus Cloud 9’s higher minimum on some days).

The concept is simple: you take a boat out, spend six hours with lagoon views in every direction, and do as much or as little as you like.

Seventh Heaven vs Cloud 9: the key differences

Both are floating platforms in the same area of the Mamanucas, 45 minutes from Port Denarau. The practical differences:

• Seventh Heaven is larger, newer, more family-focused, and quieter — oriented around a “chill and relax” vibe with music rather than a party atmosphere
• Cloud 9 is smaller, older, more of a party atmosphere with occasional DJs and events — skews more adult
• Hotel transfers: Seventh Heaven provides hotel pickups from Denarau resorts only; Cloud 9 extends to Denarau, Nadi, and Wailoaloa
• Minimum age: Seventh Heaven minimum age is 10 (adults 17+ for full day price); Cloud 9 can vary

If you’re staying on Denarau and want a relaxed, social day on the water — Seventh Heaven. If you want more of a party scene — Cloud 9.

What’s on the platform

Food and drink: bar and restaurant with a larger-than-expected menu including wood-fired pizzas, burgers, and fajitas. Multiple reviewers describe food as “better than expected for a floating venue.” The platform is cashless — bring a card.

Water activities: snorkelling around the platform (the reef beneath is accessible directly from the deck), 30 minutes free kayak use, and the “Leap of Faith” — a 5-metre jump off the top deck into the ocean below.

Lounging: multiple styles of seating — day beds, loungers, sofas, chairs. Arriving early means better spots.

Massages: available on the platform at additional cost.

Freshwater shower: provided.

Music: local and international music throughout the day.

What Seventh Heaven runs on

Days of operation: Seventh Heaven runs on a schedule of “party days” and “chill days” — check current schedule when booking:

• Party days (Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Sundays)
• Chill days (Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays)

This is more structured than Cloud 9’s atmosphere and is part of why it manages to appeal to both families and adults looking to relax.

Practical notes

Age minimum: 10 years for general admission.

Motion sickness: the 45-minute crossing can produce movement. Take medication before departure if susceptible.

Cashless: confirmed by multiple sources. Bring a card that works for international transactions. EFTPOS and credit card accepted on board.

Claim your spot early: loungers and day beds fill up. The boat often arrives all at once — get your preferred spot before exploring.

Non-swimmers: you can enjoy the platform entirely without going in the water. Staff are available to support guests who want to try snorkelling.

FAQs

Is this suitable for teenagers?

Minimum age 10. Teenagers typically enjoy the Leap of Faith, snorkelling, and kayaking. The food menu and social atmosphere work well for older kids.

What’s the Leap of Faith?

A 5-metre jump from the top deck of the platform into the ocean. Optional, but consistently described as a highlight.

Can I arrive independently without a hotel transfer?

Yes — if your accommodation isn’t in the Denarau transfer zone, you can make your own way to Port Denarau and board there.
