Making your way across the causeway from mainland Fiji takes you into a whole new realm. You’ve arrived at Shangri-La’s Fijian Resort and Spa, Yanuca Island, Fiji, a luxurious resort on the private Yanuca Island.

The warm Fijian welcome makes you feel you’ve slipped into a timeless haven. Indeed, the leisurely pace here imbues you with a sense of calm.

The exotic romance continues with the resort’s accommodation – a dream-like refuge of serenity, privacy, and luxurious comfort. In your executive suite, you soak in the panoramic sea view from a spacious balcony.

Shangri-La Marine Education Centre – a collaborative project with the community – is your first stop after lunch. You can’t wait to get up close and personal with the coral reef. The resort is not only a sanctuary for you, but for the delicate marine life too.

Having done your part for the environment, you reward yourself with a pampering treat. CHI, The Spa’s Fijian Fusion combines local techniques and fresh home-grown produce, relaxing you with a rejuvenating facial, refreshing body scrub and soothing massage.

Prolonging the magic at the beach, you lose track of time walking on golden sand and wading in pristine lagoon waters. Eventually, a beautiful sunset of red and purple hues sets you ready for a sumptuous meal at the resort.

Pre-dinner drinks at Bilo Bar precede a Pan Asian dinner at Takali Terrace Restaurant. Then, it’s dancing to live music for you at the Black Marlin Bar. All the while, the alluring Pacific Ocean never leaves your sight.

You’ll eventually explore more of Fiji beyond this oasis. But for the rest of this night, you just want to live in the moment. Shangri-La’s Fijian Resort and Spa, Yanuca, Fiji Islands, has captivated you.
