This beautiful volcanic archipelago, consisting of around 20 islands are a tourist paradise. Here you'll find beach huts, deck chairs, and palm trees lining the sandy beaches, not to mention beautiful coral reefs in beautiful clear turquoise water. The islands were used as a filming location for the film Castaway and the American edition of the TV series, Survivor.
Forming part of the Sacred Island group, Navadra is a volcanic outcrop abundant in untouched beauty and verdant splendour. Uninhabited, the island offers an anchorage often used by local fishermen and passing yachts. However, due to the presence of reefs close to the shoreline, anchoring must be done at a distance, with access to the beach provided by tender. This gives guests the chance to swim in its cerulean waters and wander golden beaches backed by tropical flora. Rumoured to be the birthplace of Fijian culture, this sublime swathe of soft sand and sapphire waters is home to world-class diving and snorkelling spots that guests are guaranteed to love. Relatively unspoilt, the pristine waters around the island are rich with turtles and vibrant coral. Come sunset, the neighbouring islets of Vanua Levu and Eori provide a breathtaking backdrop for cocktails on the top deck.
Part of the Yasawa Islands, Naviti can be found in the west of Fiji. Blanketed in tropical forest and rich in mangroves and coconut trees, this island delight is home to several scattered villages and white beach resorts. Charter guests should be sure to snorkel at the highly romantic Honeymoon Beach where shimmering fish and the brightest corals wait beneath the liquid blue. There’s even the option for charter guests to snorkel with manta rays. Life moves slowly around Nahiti and in between snorkelling, swimming, lazing in the hammock and toasting flaming sunsets, you can hike between the close-knit villages.
Land of blissful beaches, it's no surprise that Fiji is a fantasyland for lovers of salt and sea and the beautiful Blue Lagoon doesn’t let this vision down. Named as one of the top 50 beaches in the world, it hits full marks for its remote peace, silken sands, and water that captures every shade of green and blue imaginable. Located on Nacula island in the northern reaches of the Yasawa Islands, this is Fijian warmth at its finest. The island also serves up first-class Robinson Crusoe delights with its rugged green backdrop, mangrove coves, and rainbow-bright corals for snorkelling. Fans of the 1980’s Brooke Shields film of the same name will be in their element to realize that this is the same blue lagoon that stars on the big screen.
Exciting, enchanting and utterly enrapturing, Sewa-I-Lau is paradise found. Located in the northern Yasawa Islands, around 60 miles north of Viti Levu, this limestone hideaway is steeped in myth—legend tells of a young Chief who once escaped to the secret lagoon with his betrothed to avoid an arranged marriage. The caverns themselves were made famous by the 1980 blockbuster Blue Lagoon, where the emerald waters and towering limestone walls set the stage for romantic seclusion. Due to the limited depth near the shoreline, yachts must anchor offshore, with access to the island and caves provided by tender or dinghy. Charter guests will adore the interplay of filtered light dancing atop emerald green waters, while the more adventurous can discover a second cavern hidden beyond an underwater tunnel. Outside the grottoes, the island is a sun-soaked haven of brilliant white sand, lush green vegetation, and glassy turquoise seas.
The Yasawa Islands are a true paradise, with the Fijian Islands' volcanic nature offering a stunning backdrop for cruising. Local villagers still live on the Yasawa Islands.

Fringed by white sands and electrically bright coral, this green and lush island is considered one of the top dive sites in the region. Due to surrounding reefs, anchorage is only possible to the south of the island, in deeper water, with access to shore provided by tender. Drawaqa is renowned for its seasonal manta ray sightings, as these majestic creatures gather in the nearby channel between May and October to feed.
