Matanivusi Beach Eco Resort

This place is amazing and you can feel good about staying here and supporting a true Eco Lodge. One of the highlights was the sustainability tour with Weis, he truly changed the way I see things in my own home now. The efforts they are making to preserve nature are really inspiring. Incredible experience from start to finish.

I recently went to Fiji & stayed at Matanivusi Beach Eco Resort & had a wonderful experience. Brian, Donna & the staff do an amazing job. The resort itself is absolutely beautiful & it’s great to leave your western baggage at the door & switch off. As for the surf Frigates was pretty much pumping the whole time I was there. I also surfed a local reef called Serua Lefts which turned on one morning. The boat ride to Frigates takes roughly 50mins & you get to see an array of wildlife from sea birds to dolphins & pilot whales. You spend the day out there in the boat surfing, eating & taking snaps. On the way home the beers flow & we trawled for fish. It was great to head back with a freshly caught yellow fin of Spanish mackerel for post surf & arvo beer snack of sashimi. Evening beers & cocktails flow with dinner while we all sat around talking in a communal dinning room. The food was great as is the rooms. The kava night on the Saturday followed by a buffet of lovo (traditional Fijian cooking method) was a highlight. There’s so much to do but if you wanna do nothing this is the place. The resort is an all inclusive deal so your daily boat excursions to surfing reefs are included. The word eco gets thrown around a lot but Matanivusi is exactly that. They do provide a tour of the resort explaining how they run things & why they got their certification. I can’t recommend Matanivusi enough

Wow! We loved Mantanivusi! It was equal parts beautiful, equal parts fun and of course the surf (for my husband) was epic! I was worried about not having enough to do but there is plenty (kayak, snorkel, waterfalls, etc). And the food is spectacular! We loved the staff and left feeling as if we had made friends. Highly recommend!

Matanivusi is secluded & quiet, beside a beautiful lagoon, surrounded by nature. Units are clean, updated, bright. Meals are local & fresh, with excellent seafood & baked goods. Bar service prompt. Poolside vibe relaxed. Local tours & water activities convenient, fun. Founded by surfers, Matanivusi offers a top-tier Fiji surfing experience. Their guides put us on the right breaks at the right time, and ensured we got waves. While other boats puttered around, we flew out to the breaks on high-powered twin-engine catamarans, arriving at the best reefs before anyone. Can't wait to return !!JHH, Mill Valley California

Wow, what an incredible experience. Although I could only stay 4 nights, the entire staff made my (70 birthday!) visit the best one ever. They even gave me a birthday party and cake. Surf guide Nick and Samu were amazing, and really helped me navigate waves and stay positive. Would highly recommend this classy and well-maintained resort to any solo, couple or group. Well worth the drive out the busier Nadi area. Thanks everyone at Matanivusi for a lifetime 10 rated adventure!

A fantastic place to surf, fish and catch up with some friends for the week. Wonderful staff, good food, great scenery and zero hassles! We were able to do as little or as much as we liked and were kept entertained even when the waves weren't firing. Can't wait to get back there
