Barefoot Manta Island Resort: Swimming With Mantas on Drawaqa Island

Barefoot Manta Island Resort sits on Drawaqa Island in the Yasawa archipelago, the only resort in Fiji with a dedicated Marine Conservation Centre run by in-house marine biologists. It draws visitors from May to October for the chance to snorkel with manta rays that visit a feeding channel right beside the island — an experience that, for many guests, becomes the highlight of their entire Fiji trip.

Nanuya Island Resort: Blue Lagoon Island Life With À La Carte Dining

Nanuya Island Resort sits on the sunset side of Nanuya Lailai Island, right on the Blue Lagoon, and it is the only resort in the Awesome Fiji portfolio to run a full à la carte menu instead of a fixed meal plan. With access to Sawa-i-Lau Caves, snorkeling on the outer reef, and staff who genuinely make guests feel like family, it earns its 4.6 out of 5 rating across 672 TripAdvisor reviews.
