Mamanuca Islands of Fiji

The Mamanuca island group consists of around 20 small islands spread across to the west of Viti Levu. In 2006, there were approximately 808 rooms in 23 properties. This area has the highest proportion of premium rooms with 91% (735 rooms) of total rooms in this category.

In 2005, the Mamanuca islands were the second most visited destination within Fiji with 88,341 visitor arrivals. 17% of total visitor nights and an average of 5 nights were spent in the Mamanucas. Pacific Sun services a maximum of 70 return flights to Mana Island weekly and 56 return flights to Malololailai island carrying 15 passengers per flight. There are also regular ferry services by South Sea Cruises offering up to 49 return trips with 3 vessels to the Mamanucas per week carrying a maximum of 598 passengers per trip. Beachcomber cruises service Beachcomber Island and the Malolo Cat services Malolo island resorts. Charter planes also service Vomo, Tokoriki, Matamanoa, Castaway, Mana, Waidigi, Malololailai and Treasure on a daily basis from Nadi. The variety of efficient transport linkages mean transport linkages are constant to existing or growing tourism.

Musket Cove Resort also has a marina that can accommodate up to 65ft vessels and a lagoon anchorage capable of providing safe anchorage for over 100 yachts. With the known proposed projects as at late 2006, accommodation in the Mamanuca group may grow to provide 1,409 rooms in 31 properties. It is likely 88% of these rooms will be in the premium group. The Mamanucas provide the characteristic Pacific island resort which for many is the aspirational holiday experience. From the early resorts at Malolo and Castaway to the recently opened Likuliku resort, the islands support a diversity of mid to upmarket experiences.
