Still a Magical place after 25 years We stayed at Navini for our Honeymoon 25 years ago and returned with our three kids in December 2018. The relaxing feel and very friendly staff was as good as it was 25 years ago. The island is truly a paradise with its great beaches, bures, activities and most importantly friendly caring staff. The five night there really gave our family a chance to reconnect and relax after a busy year. It will not be 25 years before we are back.

Service like no other... exceptional Whilst this is not a review for an overnight stay, my experience with the staff at this resort speak volumes of the service and hospitality at Navini.
We visited the island after a boat transfer between other islands went wrong and the staff here were only too happy to assist.
Looked after with coffee and the assistance of their boat to get us the rest of the way.... I can’t thank Navini staff and the resort enough.
Impeccable help for weary travellers.

Navini is all you hope for and more!! Bula! Let me begin by stating that nothing I write will do this place justice. You’ll have to take my word for it and visit for yourself. I had the good luck of finding this slice of paradise by scrolling through Google maps just looking for a nice place to stay in Fiji. The more I read the more I knew (hoped, really) that this would be the vacation we needed. Little did we know that the sum of the experience at Navini is so much greater than its parts, and would far surpass our expectations. The friendly greetings, the delicious meals, and the fact that you can do as much or as little with your days as you wish made it one of the best, relaxing, island vacations that we have experienced. We stayed in a premier bure and it was more than enough for our family of three.

We stayed in a premier bure and it was more than enough for our family of three. The reef just off our beach was as beautiful as advertised and we couldn’t have been happier with the warm and attentive staff. We happened to be staying over American Thanksgiving (which coincided with Fijian night- FUN) as well as my son’s birthday. The staff went out of their way to make his day extra special and I can never thank them enough for that. I’d like to specifically mention Julie, Jhoka, Ana, Viniana, Losalini, Inia, Thomas, Si, and big thanks to everyone else who I might fail to mention but are equally deserving. Honestly, I could go on, but if you are looking to spend a few of the most relaxing days possible on Earth definitely consider Navini. Vinaka vakalevu!!! read less

Pure enjoyment! My husband and I loved our 3 nights at Navini (wished we had booked for longer)! The staff were very friendly, the food was delicious and the premier bure on the beach was everything we could have asked for. Two of the excursions included amazing snorkelling (the best we have ever seen having visited both Samoa and Vanuatu in the last couple of years). One excursion to Muscat Cove and Plantation Island was Ok (the families with children enjoyed swimming in the pools). I think we were taken there to compare resorts and reinforce the fact we had chosen one of the best islands in Fiji to vacation on - couldn't wait to get back for lunch and to do more great snorkelling right outside of our bure. Would definitely recommend to stay at least a week if possible. We will definitely be back sooner rather than later (I hope).

Amazing- Paradise Island and as brilliant as it sounds! We visited Navini in December 2018, having gone through a few of the reviews we had very high expectations and Navini did not disappoint. The Island itself is beautiful and kept to such a high standard, the food is outstanding and the staff really make your time here so memorable.
The day trips that are offered are the perfect way to explore the surroundings but staying on the island is equally as enjoyable.
We enjoyed dining with the other guests which at first we thought would be out of our comfort zone but was a really great part of the trip.
The majority of guests on the Island had visited many times before and we can understand why.
Navini is the most magical and beautiful place we have ever visited and will have a special place in our hearts always.
We can't wait to return.

Heavenly! If you are looking for a small, extremely friendly, low-key, very relaxing, and totally beautiful island to hide away on, Navini is it! A hidden gem amidst bigger, glitzier resorts, both its staff and clientele are truly special. The bures are very comfortable (great beds) and the food very good. But perhaps the best are all of the activities with staff, from trips to great snorkeling spots, beach volleyball, every possible water sport, to evening music and dancing. No pressure to participate but plenty of activities if you want. We were not sure what to expect, but what we found was even better than we might have imagined.

Take me back.... We had been thinking about coming to Navini for several years after reading about it on trip advisor and finally made our much awaited trip in October this year. We stayed for 10 nights and loved every minute.
We have always been impressed by the friendliness of the people in Fiji but from the moment we meet Henry at the airport we were greeted by name by all the staff which was a much appreciated first. The size of the resort and number of people suited us perfectly. Just big enough to enjoy a walk around easily and have a chance to meet all the other guests during meals. The communal dining was one of the highlights and we found everyone mixed easily and it worked really well.The meals were of very good quality and varied. I think we only just came round to repeating the menu after 10 days and there was still a choice for every meal. The kitchen and wait staff were very efficient and... read moreWe had been thinking about coming to Navini for several years after reading about it on trip advisor and finally made our much awaited trip in October this year.

The kitchen and wait staff were very efficient and we never had to wait long for our meals.
The water sports shed provide a excellent variety of options and we tried paddle boards and the paddle bike as well as my favourite, sailing which I was able to do every day. Great views sailing round the island.
We saw a turtle sailing the first day and though I didn't snorkel as much as normal due to having a cold on arrival, I saw the usual great variety of tropical fish as well as the biggest crayfish I ever seen cruising along the top of the reef before disappearing down a crevasse.
While there is a conveniently timed trip each day we only took advantage of this 3 times when it suited as we found plenty to do on Navini or just wanted to unwind on the beach.
We stayed in Bure 9 on the north beach near the Water sports shed which suited us perfectly and found the room a good size with chairs inside and on the balcony, a hammock in the courtyard and loungers on the beach. Roomy and a great shower which makes a big difference.
On top of all that I got to meet Harry the dog the owners super friendly lab on some of my early morning walks while he was doing the rounds.
Finally I have to mention we were lucky enough to be present for the 48th anniversary on independant and the staff put on a great celebration that all the guest were invited to which after brief speeches , singing the national anthem and flag raising involved staff and kids having a fun competition involving apple eating, sack races, basket weaving, coconut husking and tug of war. Really was a great occasion with everyone really enjoying themselves.
As others have mentioned the staff really are fantastic and it would be unfair to pick anyone out and miss someone else, but there efforts and general sense of fun were really appreciated.
All in all it's no wonder Navini gets such great reviews and we hope to be back sooner rather than later. read less

A piece of paradise! Absolutely a piece of heaven on earth! I would give it 10 stars if possible️ Our family consisted of 8 of us, the youngest being 8 and the oldest being 90 and everyone of us were made welcome from the minute we were picked up at our overnight hotel to when we were delivered back to the airport in Nadi! Comfort of the guests is obviously a top priority for the owner and her staff. We were greeted by the staff learning each of our first names and introducing themselves to us and with a refreshing glass of fruit juice. Their attention to each of us never waivered. We got to know most of them by name and had the opportunity to visit with them and learn about Fiji, their traditions and lives.

This is a very special place filled by very special people with hearts of gold! The Sunday evening was a treat for us to get to listen to and sing along with the staff as they celebrated the day. Our last night there was luvo night, the traditional meal cooked by the hot rocks and what a feast it was! Then to end the evening with Fijian style dancing with the staff was an extreme highlight. They had us all joining them, even my 90 year old mother in law, and she was delighted to be a part of it all.
All this to say, Navini is a memory that will live on in our family forever and hopefully we will be able to return!! It is worth every effort to get there! More read less

We’ll be back It’s not hard to see why Navini has so many repeat visitors, it really is something special.
Firstly it’s only an hour from the airport, with 24/7 access so you don’t have to spend a night in transit (unlike more remote islands). Secondly there is plenty of space and privacy- each Bure has its own small garden with sun loungers, day bed or hammock. Thirdly a complimentary activity each morning helps strike the balance between leisure and action.
Add excellent food, friendly Fijian staff and a laid back vibe, and its makes for a great holiday.
We had a five day stay in a Deluxe Premier Bure, our friends stayed in a two room Bure, across the island from each other. Both Bures were reasonably spacious, modern and spotless. We shared sundowners each night on the sunset side of the island out of the wind, before heading off to dinner.

The shared dining table worked well, with most guests (mainly Australians, with a Spanish and NZ couple) ranging from 19 to seventy- something, happy to chat. However guests were welcome to sit on private tables, and most couples did at least occasionally.
Food was very good (far better than at the more expensive resort we stayed at earlier in the trip). Fresh fruit and cooked breakfast in the morning, a choice of three mains and two desserts for lunch and three multi- choice courses for dinner. It was home style cooking, if your home cook is excellent and gives you lots of choices. Loved the profiteroles one night.
Activities ranged from a trip to a resort on a neighboring island, to snorkeling trip to the uses of a coconut one windy day. There was also plenty of free water sports equipment, all in very good condition. One of the staff kindly carried a kayak across the island so I could paddle inside the protecting reef.
This resort is run with care by the resident owners, Kunal, the manager is so considerate and the staff are kind. It really was a great place to stay. read less

Simply heaven. So beautiful, so luxurious yet so simple, such lovely people (the wonderful staff and the 4 other lovely guests with whom we are still friends across the world). Our priority was snorkelling, which is top notch, not only a gorgeous reef outside your bure with a drop-off to see reef sharks and eagle rays and turtles, but personally arranged, included boat trips each day to other lovely reefs. But on top of this were the gorgeous modern, luxury bures each with its own little beach and incredible views, the smallness of the island yet the privacy of it, the comfort level on all counts... the food is amazing, and they went to great trouble to accommodate our dietary needs. The fresh hot bread rolls... Helen's Lumberjack cake... breakfast pancakes... omg. It's magical there as everything arrives by boat and you have to be carefully poled over the reef for the last bit. How they do such fab catering with those constraints I can't imagine.

The ethos of the place is something really special - the couple who planted the lush trees and flowers there, and decided to share it with others, yet retaining the rights of the locals who own the island and who work there to make your stay special. I can't really say enough about it apart from it hurts to think it's so far away (for the two of us who live in the UK; the other two live in Australia, If I did I'd be there all the time!), and I cried as the boat carried us away and we saw it receding while our new friends waved from the beach... it is simply paradise on earth, or better still, on the ocean, where it is forever 'kava time'. read less

Paradise with an Ocean View - Bula! Did you ever dream of your own private tropical island when you were a child? This is the reality. We have enjoyed 8 nights on Navini Island with the most wonderful staff, exquisite natural surroundings, comfortable modern bures, amazing snorkeling every day, delicious freshly cooked food every meal, singing, dancing, games, smiles, laughter, new friendships, private beach walks, (watching the tiny baby reef sharks at the shoreline) quiet reading time, total peace and relaxation. I could go on and on. There was nothing more that we wanted from our beautiful holiday. Vinaka vakalevu everyone on Navini. 🙂 We will return.

Wonderful taste of Fiji You can't go wrong choosing Navini for your Fiji vacation. This was our first time visiting Fiji and I liked the idea that after 24 hours of traveling someone would meet us at the airport and take us to our destination as soon as we arrived. Staying at Navini is so enjoyable. I never felt so safe and relaxed. The staff is amazing. This was our favorite place to stay in Fiji.

Beautiful get away What an amazing trip we had here. Such friendly and helpful staff. Food absolutely delicious (and big - be warned). You don't go hungry at all 🙂
The excursions were incredible. So much snorkeling, so much fun! Very peaceful as well.
Went into relaxation mode immediately. Felt like we'd been on holiday for a long time, it was only a week.
We had a few rolling thunderstorms that came though in the afternoon, then subsided by dinner.
Turtles, reef sharks, recovering coral, fish. Just incredible.

A Peaceful Escape When searching for a place to unwind and disconnect from the hustle of city life, look no further than Navini. From the moment you arrive, the entire staff knows your name and is there to welcome you with kindness. They picked me up from the airport and drove me to the boat house where I was then put on a short boat ride to Navini. The fact that there is no tv or radio music playing anywhere on the island makes you listen to the sounds of the ocean and nature. There are no day trippers so there is a sense of calm and peace constantly. The food is absolutely delicious and they can accommodate any dietary requests. As I was a solo traveler I was sat with other guests at meals where we all became friends. It was such a warm environment. Surrounding the island is a reef where I snorkeled every day, sometimes guided by Thomas. They provide day trips for more snorkeling and visiting nearby islands.... read moreWhen searching for a place to unwind and disconnect from the hustle of city life, look no further than Navini.

The sun is hot, so make sure to put sunscreen on your entire body (legs included). The end of the day is like a family getting together to unwind after dinner to play games and drink Kava. The rooms are lovely and I got a romantic suite with an outdoor daybed and deck chairs overlooking the ocean. It felt extremely private. My only complaint was that I wished the sheets on my bed were softer. read less

Incredibly special island and people My husband and I booked a portion of our honeymoon at Navini on the reccomendation of my colleague - and what a brilliant decision. The Bures are gorgeous with stunning views. The island itself is something else, really cute and pretty. You don’t go hungry there, the meal package is great and fantastic for vegans (me) and meat eaters alike. Snorkelling trips are fab and the water is crystal clear with diverse marine life just from popping your head underwater offshore. Mealtimes are generally held at communal tables (the other guests were really sweet) with the option of having a beachfront private dinner should you wish. The most generous resort when it comes to offering kava! Finally, and most importantly, Navini staff are just so kind - going out of their way to make vegan ice cream for me (thanks Vaulina and Ana!). Every staff member feels like family after just 4 days - plus the cocktails are fab too.

Perfect! Navini is a small, intimate island very appropriate for couples, although it may be excellent for older children, too. It's tranquil, and the bungalows open on your private beach. The cuisine is an exquisite European, Asian, Fijian fusion. We had 21 meals while on the island, and we didn't have the same dish twice. The outdoor activities include snorkelling, swimming, kayaking and sailing. The most important event is the morning trip (included in your package) that will be to a hidden snorkelling spot or a sand cay or a traditional village. Speaking of classic, the most crucial time of the day is after dinner when the staff entertain you with live music, local drinks (kava) and a local board game called Vindi Vindi (inspired by Carrom).
All in all, you get to experience the real Fiji like you wouldn't be able to do in any other resort. We felt like members of their family rather than guests. We cried when we left, and that should tell you a lot!

Navini Island - Pacific Paradise. A week spent with our extended family - our children, their partners and our seven grandchildren - a party of 17. Despite the range of ages we were all catered for and made very welcome. Bures (little self contained units) were clean and comfortable and just a few metres walk to the clean, clear and warm waters of the Pacific Ocean.
Meal time was a great family time - the food was simple, beautifully prepared and presented. Staff were friendly and helpful always with a 'Bula!' welcome and always with a smile, nothing was too much trouble.
Activities were available for young and old with swimming and snorkelling (looking at coral & fish) probably the most popular with our party. More 'formal' activites were organised each day such as a boat trip to a sand cay a few kilometres away and a morning fishing trip - a great father & son time.

Absolutely amazing We had one of our best holiday on Navini with the whole family. We had absolute bliss. We loved the morning trips to different places, snorkelling was so beautiful. The staff looked after us and were fantastic with kids. They have tried to fulfil any request we had. And food was soooooo good. It was very sad to leave this paradise, but we will definitely try to come back again.

Tropical Cyclone Sarai delivered a different Navini experience. We missed Henry meeting us at the airport, hope he is enjoying retirement, we wish him well. Finally we are being welcomed ‘home’ on the beach by Simone the owner, and friends from previous visits. It was supposed to be an extended family Christmas holiday but an expired passport by one resulted in just the two of us. They did make it to Fiji later but not to Navini. The resort with renovations completed looks beautiful. Christmas started with the staff singing carols outside the bures, a moving experience. A staff Church Service beautiful singing. Christmas Dinner was TC Sarai was on the way the seas were huge. Most guests opted to stay on the island. Winds increased , it was time to ‘batten down’. All boats taken to mainland marinas.

Another excellent Navini experience We just made our third trip to Navini and it just keeps on delivering. Somehow, they to be able to improve on perfection.
I didn’t think it was possible but the food has only gotten better. Ana and the kitchen staff have from creating delicious meals to creating super-dooper delicious meals! Kids activities away from the dining area during the adults’ dinner is an added bonus.
One of the best things about Navini is that you get treated like a family member rather than a stranger. For return visitors, being greeted with a hug rather than an introduction is just one of many reasons that we will keep coming back.
Whether it’s new staff or ‘old hands’, everybody goes out of their way to make your holiday unforgettable.
Hot tip: one of my favourite activities happens after dinner when the staff come back to the dining area to drink kava and play vindi vindi.
