Sensational
diving on a paradise island !
Beqa
Island Resort offers guests the chance to dive and enjoy
Fijian hospitality in comfort and style. No additional flights
are needed within Fiji!
Beqa
Island
Beqa
(pronounced Benga) Island lies in Beqa Lagoon, located
just 8 km south off the main island of Viti Levu. From Nadi
International Airport it's a scenic 2.5 hour drive followed
by a 30 minute boat ride to the island
Surrounded
by a large barrier reef, one of the most striking features
of Beqa Island is its seclusion. There are no roads, no
towns and only a few isolated villages scattered around
the perimeter. Steep rainforest covered mountains shelter
the west coast from wind and waves, and most of the island's
beaches are found there.
The
Resort
Beqa Island Resort is a remote island paradise far away
from the the big resorts and the crowds on the main island.
The beautiful Balinese-style bures and public meeting places
are spread out amongst the lush vegetation and water gardens.
During the day, guests can relax around the lovely infinity
pool or unwind with a soothing aromatic massage.
Although
the resort grounds are neatly maintained the flora &
fauna of the island is never far away as colourful island
critters still have free range of the island!
At night crabs very often march across the lawn to the beach.
Just behind the resort the land slopes gently upward into
a tropical forest. Further into the forest there's a fresh
water stream descending from a waterfall just about a mile
from the resort. Here the thick jungle vegetation occasionally
gives way to small fields of sweet potatoes, pineapples
and taro root, but all in all, the land remains pristine.
Tropical flowers bloom everywhere, and the tables at the
resort are always filled with fresh cuttings.
If
you hike a short way up the hillside, you'll find yourself
at the base of an impressive waterfall. After cooling off
for a while in the pool you can hike further up the path
and the top of the trail offers great sunset views over
the entire lagoon. With a little more time & effort
it is possible hike to the top of the mountain to enjoy
stunning views over the entire island.
Diving
Beqa Lagoon is surrounded by over 190 miles of spectacular
coral reef. Within the lagoon, the water is clear and warm,
visibility is typically over 100 feet, currents are mild,
and the water temperature stays a fairly constant 80 F (26C).
Many of the most spectacular dive spots are only a few minutes
from shore, and if you stayed long enough, you could explore
over 100 different reefs! The dive masters at Beqa Lagoon
have been diving in these waters since they were children
and are some of the most consciencious people you will ever
meet. They know every reef and coral head, and if you stay
close they will show you some of the most intriguing creatures
around - Blue Ribbon Eels, Clown Triggers, Lion Fish, Leaf
Scorpions, Reef Sharks and millions of colorful Anthias
and Fusiliers all inhabit these waters.
Twice
a week, it is possible to join the word-famous Beqa Shark
feeds directly from Beqa Lagoon Resort. One of the resort's
dive boats will take you and your dive guides to a special
site inside the lagoon where up to ten bull sharks, silver
tips, grey nurse and the occasional tiger shark meet to
be hand-fed by dive masters from Aquatrek or Beqa Adventure
Divers. These sharks have been studied for many years; the
larger ones are about 9ft/3mtrs long, and it is an awesome
experience to see them circling only metres away. These
dives need to be booked in additional to the regular accommodation/dive
packages.
Surfing
Surf the Fiji Pipeline! Voted one of the best
two waves in Fiji. Powerful, fast developing
world class left with prevailing offshore winds, Frigate
Passage (also known as Fiji Pipeline) is located on the
southwestern barrier reef of the island of Beqa, just a
short distance from Beqa Lagoon Resort. Frigate Passage
offers the ideal conditions that naturally generate these
kind of world class waves. Come surf the Fiji Pipeline and
live the island way without the crowds, stress, and traffic
of the mainland.

Accommodation
The private villas (called bures) are large and luxurious.
Just steps from the beach, each bure is elegantly furnished
with rattan and bamboo and decorated with colorful splashes
of fabric and works of art.
Every
Deluxe Beachfront Bure has its own spacious courtyard
with a plunge pool and bamboo fence to ensure your privacy.
The honeymoon bure also has a romantic private outdoor shower.
The Deluxe Garden View Bures are the newest addition
to the resort, built into beautifully landscaped koi ponds.
Wooden bridges lead to their cosy terraces.
All bures are air conditioned mini-suites with spectacular
marble tiled bathrooms. Each porch has a table, lounge chairs
and a wonderful view. Cosy hammock's can be found just a
few metres walk away!
In addition the resort also offers 2-bedroom bures that
are perfect for families.
Meals
Laniana, the resort chef, prepares a wide variety of dishes
that please even the most discerning palates. The presentation
is always beautiful, and make sure you leave a little room
for the gorgeous desserts ! The open air Bure Kalou (dining
room) is scenic and refreshing which makes dining at Beqa
Lagoon an unexpectedly pleasant blend of high class dining
and casual elegance.
Meal
packages offer 28 main course choices every week with all
tastes and dietary requirements catered for. Fresh seafood
is, of course, very much on the menu along with an array
of Fijian & International delights.
Snorkeling
One of the resorts distinctive features is that coral
reef heads thrive just a few feet from the beach. Even if
you do not dive, you will be able to see many wonders of
Beqa Lagoon, such as clown fish, lion fish, lobsters, live
corals and lots of other tropical creatures. Just grab a
mask & snorkel, step out from the beach and you're away.
A
secluded island picnic is another way to spend your time
a resort boat can be arranged to take you to a nearby
deserted island where you can snorkel and sunbathe.
Kayaking
Single or double kayaks are available to explore the neighbouring
islands and beautiful beaches of Beqa Island.
Other
Activities
Hike to a waterfall or to the top of the mountain, visit
the local villages or see the WWII American gun site. Beqa
has no roads so there is a network of tracks linking the
villages around the island. Play volleyball, horse shoes
or croquet and see if you can beat the locals!
Bird
watching Beqa has oneof the biggest varieties of
birdlife in Fiji.
Island hopping is another option they'll provide
you with a boat and driver, and you can choose where you
want to explore!
Local
culture
Beqa
Island is very unspoilt and rich in culture and history,
many of the villagers actually work in the resort and no
stay is complete without a visit to one of the villages.
Locals also provide cultural and musical entertainment
in
the evenings!
Getting
to/from Beqa
Your international flight into Fiji will take you into Nadi
on Fiji's main island of Viti Levu.
From there you are transferred by road to Pacific Harbour
(approx 2.5 hours) from where it's a short boat ride to
the island. No extra flights are needed within Fiji!
