“Beautiful reef, amazing staff,”

Staff is incredibly kind and attentive. It's remote and may not be for everyone. Big focus on diving /snorkeling.

What a magical place. My wife and I spent 7 wonderful days there. We chose Oneta after reading all the 5 star recommendations. Run by an excellent and friendly team who made our stay special, and it could not have been a better holiday. There are no shortage of activities including plenty of amazing diving and snorkelling sites, fishing, kayaking, private island picnics, hiking etc. The highly skilled team is safety conscious and go out of the way to accommodate every little detail in order to provide an unforgettable personal experience to each guest whether beginner or advanced level adventurer. The bure and the villas are of high standard, clean and serviced every day, making our stay very comfortable. The stay at Oneta is inclusive of meals, which are more than adequate. We especially appreciated the length they went to in order to cater to our special dietary requirement even being in a remote location. Most memorable for us was the hospitality of Martin, Liz, Richard and every single person in the resort. The genuine warmth and how they embraced us into the Oneta family from the moment we arrived there, is something we had not experienced anywhere else. At the time of departure, my wife had tears in her eyes and I was sad that we were leaving the family. The 7-day stay was not long enough in this little piece of heaven, wish we had stayed there longer!

“Very enjoyable with plenty of daily activities and we had some great Fijian cultural experiences.”

Set meal options were fine but possibly have more options available especially for dinner.Snorkling was amazing.

Very good place for diving and nature photography. All the staff are very friendly and knowledgable. Food was very good and big servings. Wide range of activities for everyone.

“Not just a holiday but the most amazing travel experience. The Fijian people were amazing.”

The breakfast meals were exceptional. Amazing food.

“5 stars all the way, truly underrated.”

5 Stars all the way. Do not hesitate booking this gem. If you are looking for a place to relax, connect with the Fijian culture and dive, this is the place for you. The hospitality is out of this world, the staff address you as if you are part of their family, the place is quiet and relaxing, the eco-part of the resort really lives up to its values, and finally the diving has been one of the best spots we’ve ever experienced in the world.

“The best holiday my wife and I have had so far”

Very remote and beautiful.

“We'll be back!”

Great staff, beautiful resort with so much to do for the whole family. Management and staff went out of their way to accommodate our needs with small kids, from eating arrangements to activities, it couldn't have been better.

“Memorable and unique”

This intimate but spacious resort is very special. Kandavu and Oneta is beautiful, with immaculate gardens, and the bures and common spaces connected by boardwalks are infused with traditional style and architecture which gave the place a soul, compared to other resorts. The manager Richard and his team are exceptional hosts, with a lot of thought and care put into every detail of the stay from the minute you step off the boat until the moment you leave. There is ample generosity; you have complimentary snacks at the bar, local coconut oil in the Bure, fresh daily baked biscuits, and twice a day your Bure is turned down, with fresh flowers scattered throughout. It feels like a home away from home, where you are welcome to use all the facilities and help yourself to teas, coffee and home baked treats in the main bure. And it is not just the guests that are taken care of, Oneta gives back to local communities and supports initiatives to help the environment and the people living there. Richard is a man of positive energy, attention to detail, stories and affection for Fiji. He dines with guests and it’s a great opportunity to learn about the area and Fijian culture. The main bure is a beautiful grand structure made in the traditional way with polished wood floors, a mix of spacious lounges, all looking out to the beachfront and palm trees where lilos and hammocks hang. It is where all meals are served on the communal table, and the sunset bar opens in the late afternoon to serve cocktails and beer, accompanied by nibbles. The daily excursions are varied and unique to the area, the snorkelling off the reef was the best we saw, plus the manta rays which was a special experience. Other guests did fishing, scuba, waterfall hikes, and a sunset bird tour. There is also excellent masseuses on site. We stayed 3 nights which was not long enough, I would recommend four at a minimum, taking into account getting there takes time.

“10/10 we had a blissful time at Oneta”

I could not recommend Oneta more to those searching for a place to unwind in nature and explore the amazing Kadavu Island group - home to the Astolabe Reef. The surrounding nature is second to none; the home reef alone is worth coming for. Just a five minute boat ride away you can swim with manta-rays which we had the pleasure of experiencing. The diving is also incredible and all the staff at the dive Centre are very professional. The gear is top of the line and in fantastic condition. The staff are so warm and welcoming. We felt very spoilt being the first guests after Covid and the laughter that runs through the place is incredibly uplifting. You can definitely see this every day when the whole crew plays volleyball or at a Kava ceremony- both of which guests are encouraged to join. The owners Liz and Martin are so passionate and dedicated to not only providing a beautiful resort for their guests but improving the land upon which the resort is situated. There is such a great energy that runs through Oneta due to the fantastic community that keeps it running. We can’t wait to return again!! This place is such a hidden gem & a rarity in a modern Fiji which can be quite commercialized. You will find a truly rare experience coming to Oneta <3
