“Nice Bungalows in beautiful location”

The surroundings and location are great, the staff were nice too.

“Good value, love it overall. hope the facilities can be upgraded a little bit for comfortability.”

All meals were well prepared and served, enough with no waste. Local materials and traditionally cooked. Good vibe for social connection.

“Authentic experience on a beautiful island with amazing people!”

This was one of my favourite places I’ve ever stayed. No electricity or wifi most of the day so you feel cut off and so relaxed, I didn’t want it to end! The beach is beautiful and all the staff are so lovely they treat you like family. We enjoyed drinking Kava with the boys, the culture talk and the hike to the view point as well as the wonderful school visit and attending church, such an amazing experience. It’s in such an stunning setting and our bure view was overlooking the sea, couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Oh and the food was always so tasty and plentiful! Hope to return some day - love from Jessie and John

Stunning location and very friendly hosts- treated us like family. We had a lovely bure with a ceiling fan and mosquito net. Really good value . Food was plentiful . Lots of activities if you wanted to keep busy

Our stay at Waya Lailai Eco Resort on Wayasewa Island was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like family. Their warmth, kindness, and genuine love for their island shone through in everything they did. The buffet meals were fantastic — fresh, delicious, and plentiful. We were never hungry, and every meal felt like it was prepared with care and heart. One of the absolute highlights of our trip was the fishing adventure with Saki. He took our group out for an incredible day on the water, stopping at a beautiful island for lunch where he cooked some of the fish that had been caught along with a delicious barbecue feast. To top it all off, they caught a massive barracuda, which was brought back to the village for everyone to share. It was such a special experience and a wonderful example of the community spirit at Waya Lailai. Some members of our group also completed the morning hike. They said it was physically demanding, but absolutely worth it for the breathtaking views and overall experience — and they would do it again in a heartbeat. We had hoped to visit another island to watch a netball game where some of the staff members’ family were playing, but unfortunately we missed out. Instead, Melea took my daughter and me on a medicine walk around the resort, teaching us about the healing and health benefits of local plants. It was fascinating, personal, and something we will always remember. The biggest sign of how special this place is? My son did not want to leave. We are already planning another trip so we can bring more of our family to experience the magic of Waya Lailai. Thank you all so much for your hospitality, your stories, and the love and pride you share for your island and culture. Waya Lailai will always hold a very special place in our hearts.

What a lovely place, loads of space, the bites were spacious. Thankfully not a resort, Just a place to kick-back and do nothing. Lovely hammocks on the beach.

A magnificent island, just like its inhabitants, with a very warm and family-friendly atmosphere; you feel right at home. The resort staff are exceptional, kind, and offer many activities! Thank you for this wonderful, secluded experience… I will be back 🥹

“Peaceful, authentic stay with amazing people and nature experiences”

We had an amazing stay at Waya Lailai Eco Haven. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and approachable, and we really appreciated the authentic cultural experiences like the kava ceremony and church service. The food was excellent throughout the day. Breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner were always fresh and delicious. The whole atmosphere felt very authentic and heartfelt. Our highlights were the mountain hike with beautiful views, snorkeling in the clear water, and relaxing in the hammocks. A perfect place to experience true Fijian hospitality. Highly recommended!

“Everything I was looking for in one place and an unforgettable experience.”

Location is excellent, a short walk to a hill that overlooks all the islands and a beautiful beach. Local villages, fishing spots and reefs with sharks are all very close so there’s lots to do. The food and hospitality it amazing, 3 full meals + afternoon tea and evening Kava are included. Evening activities like camp fires and cultural lessons are included too. It’s also great how this resort is locally owned and operated and provides a great benefit to locals on the island.

“Fantastic buffet food in a professionally run establishment”

Lovely welcome by musicians as our connecting boat arrived on the beach Nice beachfront accommodation Good beach Fantastic buffet food (the best of all 3 islands we visited) Great church service on Sunday

“Awesome”

Everyone is so friendly and the atmosphere is so awesome! feels just like home!

“If you stay in one place in the yasawas, make it here”

The staff are incredible. It’s no luxury, but the facilities are everything you need - the food is amazing, I couldn’t say a single bad thing about my stay. I genuinely wanted to cry leaving. A perfect place to switch off.

The staff 10 out of 10. Chilled laid back vibe with the local village close by with a real authentic fiji experience.

Since the very first moment, I felt at home and truly welcomed. The hospitality was wonderful, and the local people were always available, kind, and smiling. The excursions were well worth it, and everything felt relaxed and immersive—you really lose track of time and become fully surrounded by nature. A special thanks to Tailor, Kitti, Joe, Eve, Koli, and all the rest of the staff. They went above and beyond, even remembering all the guests’ names, which made everything feel very personal. We had an amazing beach lunch, a beautifully organized cava ceremony, and the staff were always happy, singing, and creating such a warm atmosphere throughout the stay. An unforgettable experience—thank you to everyone for making it so special.

“Just perfect !”

A huge thank you to the whole team. It was a wonderful family holiday! The choice of activities is varied and suitable for everyone. This island is incredible both on land and at sea !

“I only spent 2 nights here but I wish I stayed longer. I felt so sad to leave. I will definitely be returning!!!”

The staff are so friendly here, I felt truly welcome from the moment we pulled up to the beach. I find this is a perfect blend of a resort structure, with a homestay feel. The dorms are lovely and overlook the water, they are small and well equipped with a comfortable mattress and fan! It’s very easy to be social at this stay and the staff could not be kinder. The activities are affordable, I did the reef shark snorkel and would say it is excellent value for money - it was amazing. Staff playing volleyball everyday and open for any guests to join. Staff are singing in the mornings and will sit with a guitar, playing away. Truly magical!

“Very relaxing, beach side eco stay for switching off and relaxing.”

Very warm welcome from the staff and local people. Food was tasty and was a great place to switch off and relax.

“Authentic experience of Fiji Island life with very friendly staff”

Food was fantastic and lots of it. You can Snorkel right off the beach. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

“It was a very unique and personal experience which was very authentic”
