Vacation rentals in Turtle Island

Malakati was an amazing experiance, we are three 19 year old girls and felt so welcome to their community - Everyone was so friendly and helpful and prepared the most amazing meals which was so interesting to learn about! We were included in lots of village events such as kindergarten presentations and even made a cake for mine and 2 other peoples brithdays and was sang to which was so surreal!! We definitely recommend and will definitely be returning! Vinaka Malakati !

We had a very special 6 days at Sunrise Lagoon Homestay. Lice and Jo were fantastic hosts and it was awesome to meet their family. The location is beautiful and within walking distance to the Blue Lagoon. The island hopping trip, snorkelling and spearfishing were all highlights. The rooms were very basic but a perfect place to escape and relax. For Christmas, they arranged for us to take part in a celebration in the local village, which was a great experience. If you are looking for a luxury resort, this is not the place for you! However, if you want a truly authentic slice of Fijian life in the Yasawas (and great food), you’ll love this place as much as we did! Vinaka Lice and Jo!

There aren’t enough words to say how special this stay was. If you want peace, tranquility and space away from ‘the world’ then this is the place. The house and rooms are impeccably designed to fit in with and make the most of the stunning environment. Whether you want to relax on the super comfortable outdoor furniture and take in the breathtaking views, or take the few steps down to the white sands and breathe in the ocean… it is all just stunning! We relaxed on the loungers reading, snorkelled in the nearby lagoons, walked up the beach, and used the kayaks and paddle boards. The welcome we received from Nicky & Col was so special, and we were made to feel immediately ‘right at home.’ Nicky puts so much effort and love into each meal that she prepares, and we loved sitting down to see what deliciousness awaited us. Col’s knowledge of the island and surrounds was so interesting. We loved hearing his stories and learning about the island. We cannot recommend it enough!!

This place was absolutely amazing! The food was truly, truly, truly incredible—one of the best experiences I’ve had. Everything was so fresh and delicious, and you can tell they put a lot of love into it. The people here are also incredibly kind and welcoming. If you’re looking for a real detox, a place to disconnect from your phone and just enjoy a peaceful vacation, I highly recommend this place. There’s no internet in the bungalows, which makes it the perfect spot to truly unwind. But if you do need to connect, there’s a designated spot just a two-minute walk away where everyone goes to send messages. It’s such a relaxing environment—perfect for slowing down and really enjoying the moment. Would absolutely come back!😍

We had an unforgettable stay on Crystal Island, a 14-acre private paradise. From the moment we were picked up by boat from the ferry, exceptional service and experiences awaited. Sevina, our private chef, wowed us with delicious, healthy Fijian dishes that immersed us in the local culture. David and Manasa kept us engaged with activities from scenic hikes and snorkeling to beachcombing, crab spotting, and kayaking. We also toured villages, schools, and learned traditional fishing and night diving. For relaxation, Rani's beachside massages were the perfect touch. The property was stunning, with comfortable beds, air conditioning, and magical outdoor showers. This stay exceeded expectations—it’s the ideal place to unwind, explore, and experience the best of Fiji. We’ll definitely be back!

Rosa’s place was just as described. Peaceful, home stay and so met the family, lovely food and we did very little other than read our books and watch the sea. It’s a great place to go off grid and relax. Internet was available but not wifi, so you can turn your phone off and soak up the quiet.

We had a fantastic time in Nabukeru. The people there are incredibly warm and welcoming. The food was delicious, even though it was similar most of the days. Unfortunately, as a vegan, there wasn’t much to eat besides rice. It’s definitely not a luxurious place, but if you’re looking for an authentic experience in a Fijian village, you’ll have an amazing time here. Misi was a wonderful host—very helpful and always doing his best to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. However, the main activities in the area, such as snorkeling, hiking, and visiting the caves, come at an small additional cost. The only sad part of our stay was the condition of the dogs on the island. Many were worryingly thin and had open wounds, which was heartbreaking to see. While we understand that the locals don’t have much, it was still upsetting to witness how the animals were treated. The most distressing moment was seeing someone from the island repeatedly hitting a dog with a coconut.
