Mana Island Travel Guide

Tourist Guide
Mana Island showing swimming and general coastal views as well as a small group of people
This island of luxury and relaxation seems a world apart from the hustle and bustle of home.

Soak in stunning infinity pools and sleep in the shade of gently rustling palm trees at Mana Island. Cruise over the sparkling sea or walk to the hilltop lookout to enjoy panoramic views across this majestic island chain.

Covering an area of just 300 acres (120 hectares), this idyllic island feels like an exclusive tropical escape. The surrounding fine, white sand provides plenty of space to find your own private beach while the warm sea offers fantastic swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving and sailing. Play a game of volleyball or head to the tennis courts nearby.

Leave the sea and the hot midday sun behind and wander along the trails weaving through forests of palms and bright flowers. Go on foot or use your resort’s bikes for the short ascent to the top of the mountain at the island’s center. Gaze for miles and look for the colossal shapes of neighboring islands rising dramatically from the ocean.

After your workout, treat yourself to an afternoon at the pool. Read a book while you sip a refreshing cocktail or soak in the water and watch the waves washing onto the beach below.

For even more luxury, visit the spa. Friendly staff are always available to offer treatments including manicures, facials and full body massages.

As another day in paradise draws to an end, take a seat at your favorite restaurant. Whether you are in the mood for formal dining or something a little simpler, you’ll find plenty of choice, from traditional Asian spiced meat to a full international menu.

Mana Island is located about 20 miles (32 kilometers) west of Nadi on the Fijian mainland. Fly from Nadi to the island’s own airstrip or take the regular high-speed ferry. The island has several resorts that are always open for visitors to enjoy the year-round idyllic weather.

Great location, hotel is a bit dated, staff and service was very nice. Even though all meals were included, had to pay extra for some of the restaurants, marine activities including kayaking, and drinks (soft drinks and alcohol). Nice holiday spot

They have a 5 year deal to film US Survivor on the island, so Mana Island shuts down to guests for 6 months every year, plus it restricts access/facilities on Tadrai.
