Family hotels and homes in Naviti Island

If you want a relaxing few days this place is for you. Opened earlier in the year and only 5 rooms are open at present (3 private’s and 2 dorms I think). I believe there will be 10 rooms in total when they open fully. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm and it wasn’t a dorm as such - 4 single beds, beautiful en suite and even better outdoor shower which was powerful and had hot water. Very sturdy buildings - not like the tents in other resorts. Everywhere was extremely clean. Staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome - the service is second to none.. No unnecessary check in process - they just welcomed you, showed you to your room and you just paid for everything on check out. Meals are chosen off a set menu for breakfast lunch and dinner - you choose your next meal during the prior meal. Lots of choose from western food to local food. I 100% believe it’s cooked fresh and I saw some fishermen taking their catch from the sea to the restaurant. They have snorkelling from the beach front which I did - I believe it’s a lot better if the boatman takes you for free towards the island but the winds took off when I was there so unfortunately gave that and the kayaking a miss as I’d get blown to the next island. If you want lots of people this isn’t for you - there was around 7 people during my stay but a nice mix of couples and solo travelers and just somewhere calm to read a book and relax. Fresh coconuts and mango provided for you during the day. They also have a kind of communal big table where solo people can sit and chat to other solo people.

Seru and his family was the most amazing hosts and made our stay everything we wished for! Amazing surroundings, amazing people, nice food - shout out to Emily for the food! I celebrated my birthday with my girlfriend and the family helped making it something special. I will always remember Wai Makare and the lovely family. It is not luxury, but the amazing relaxed island lifestyle and the family that makes this stay special!

That it was real, un-glossy insight into Fiji village life today.

Tai Evi homestay was the highlight of our trip to the Yasawa islands and we wish we could've stayed for longer. It is basic accommodation but perfect for what we needed and we stayed right in the village with Silo's family. The food was delicious. There is lots to do - we saw the manta rays in the manta ray passage which is a boat trip away as well as amazing reef. The beach is also nice with some good coral as well. It was also the 1st year anniversary of the homestay whilst we were there so we had a BBQ with the family and all the guests and we helped with some of the preparation of the food. However, the highlight for us was the company and people that we met here :)

Amazing reef and three beautiful beaches, lovely lodge tent right on the sunset beach, friendly staff. We got to swim with mantas! Food was ok. Even at low tide, you could always go snorkeling through the boat channels on sunrise beach. Guys and girls from the dive shop were fantastic, special mention for Bella, one of the marine biologists, who took us on a great snorkeling tour.

The lounge area at the beach, fantastic snorkeling, the view from the restaurant, sunset beach and lovely staff were the highlights to me. Tree huts are simple but functional, shared bathroom facilities are great. There was so much love put in everywhere. Food was amazing, porridge & kokoda were especially amazing. Did the sunrise walk too, such lovely experience. Thank you very much, I will be back!

The food was fabulous, the staff were very friendly and kind and the resort itself is remote and the beach is beautiful.

this was by far the best accommodation i have ever been to and deserves the best rating i have ever given. the family is so incredibly nice and tries to make your stay as good as possible. you can plan activities with them and all activities are free, whereas at other accommodations in the region you would pay a fortune. we also went to the famous sawa-i-lau caves, which was an experience. the food is incredible. the man knows how to cook and teaches you about fijian cuisine for just 25 dollars a day per person. they also try to show you the culture of the local people, show you nearby villages, schools and churches. an absolute experience! i can recommend this accommodation with heart and joy to everyone. it is not just an accommodation, but a unique experience that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. vinaka and thank you for the great time!

Everything was amazing, the food was great. Beach was right on our doorstep. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Kids club was great and the reef was superb just out in front of the resort. Would happily come back in a heartbeat.

The room was very well kept, the most comfortable place we stayed during our Yasawa island trip! Lots of activities to choose from and the food provided was delicious. The host family were so nice and even took us to Sunday Church service with them - truly an amazing experience. Thank you very much to the lovely family for providing us with an amazing stay.
