Lalati Resort & Spa

Beqa Island

While Lalati is a little tired in places (and more so than you see in the online pictures), it really is a rustic slice of heaven. If you are looking for 5 star luxury you’ll need to look elsewhere but if you are looking for a place to unwind and relax with the option to be more active if your choose then then this is the place for you. The resort was quiet when we were there (2 other couples). The staff are friendly and the location cannot be beaten. Snorkelling out the front is good and you can easily kayak a short distance to take in another reef. Paid snorkelling charters are also available. The room was comfortable and you shouldn’t be put off by the eco toilet. The small air con struggles to keep the room cool. Our ceiling fan did not work. Some villas are quite a walk from the main area but ours was ideally positioned (WFV2). Take your own snacks and a bottle of gin (with tonic) or a few bottles of wine to enjoy on your balcony in the afternoon/evenings. I wouldn’t suggest you waste your time in the day spa. Its OVERPRICED and the staff (while lovely) are not trained. The food was good and varied. The boat ride over and arrival and departure lovely bookends to your stay. Another tip - cheaper to organise your own transfers to and from the jetty.

A slice of heaven

My husband and I were at Lalati for 3 nights to start out our honeymoon. We had the best time. The things that stood out to us the most were the amazing staff and the delicious food. The staff was so sweet and friendly, especially Lucy! She made our trip unforgettable! And Bill was so informative about Fiji and its culture during the activities we did. 

We booked the beachfront honeymoon suite and it was so spacious and had a very comfortable bed. We loved the private patio on the side which had a small private pool, outdoor shower, and lounge bed. 

We booked a private massage and picnic on the beach across the way and it was probably our favorite thing we did whilst there. The beach was stunning and the massage was so relaxing! 

On our last night we were lucky enough to get to experience a traditional Fijian dinner, including a kava ceremony. It was an experience we won’t forget! Throughout our whole stay the food was out of this world. During the rest of our honeymoon back on the main island we kept comparing our meals to Lalati and they just did not compare! 

We could not recommend Lalati enough if you are looking for a quiet getaway to escape from the real world. Thank you Lalati for making our honeymoon so amazing! 

Honeymoon Paradise!

I could not recommend this resort more!! The most idyllic place to rest and unwind.

We were picked up by car to be driven to the boat, and when we arrived at the resort my breath was taken away, it is stunning!! So green and beautiful.

We were greeted with fresh coconuts, music and beautiful flower necklaces. I have traveled the world and have never received such a warm welcome. 

The accomdation is beautiful, large beach huts with big balconies, and very comfy beds!

A few little things didnt work, but all these negative reviews seem to forget that this is the real Fiji! It isnt perfect! If you are looking for a standard trip with full entertainment, TVs, wifi, this isn't for you. This resort is for people trying to unwind, relax and have the most beautiful trip.

There are some great activities, we did a waterfall hike (not for the unfit) and visited the villages of Beqa island, the people were amazing! I would recommend taking some gifts for the school kids if you have room in your suitcases! We wish we had!

The food was brilliant, fresh and delicious! You have 2 options for both lunch and dinner, with always a fish and meat dish. Really really great! I would maybe recommend taking along some nibbles like crisps and you cant buy anything there, but we were absolutely fine just eating the food and not snacking as the portions were quite big!

Also some of the best snorkelling we have ever done! Kayaks available for trips and paddle boards. 

Big shout out to Lucy who made our stay so unforgettable!

Absolute Paradise

We have spent 4 nights at Lalati. The resort is beautifully authentic. Staff are amazing and they look after us very well. Oli, the manager is always helpful. Dema and Lucy do amazing massage. Caesar took me out for a great snorkelling just on the opposite island and we spotted 3 sharks. Freddie is very knowledgeable showing us the use of different herbs on the herbal medicine walk. The highlight of the trip was kids from village nearby came to sing Christmas carols for us on Christmas Day and we even had a bit of a dance off. Internet isn’t great here, but it’s great to switch off from the world and relax. One thing to note, bring plenty of mosquitoes repellent and after bite balm. 

A beautiful place to recharge your battery 

Lalati Resort is an elegantly rustic resort - a great blend of Fiji culture, island activities, local fare and stunning views. All of the rooms are nicely appointed separate villas with comfortable beds, patios for entertaining or relaxing and just a short walk from the restaurant/bar/office. This is a small resort with only 5-20 patrons staying at any given time, so you'll get to know all of your fellow travelers and also the small experienced staff. Local rum cocktails and seafood were quite tasty although the menu is limited. Kayaking, snorkeling, diving, hiking and crab races are just a handful of the activities offered, but you can also simply retreat to your own space and enjoy doing absolutely nothing. Whatever you want, it's Fiji time! 

Relaxing Christmas Retreat

Our family of three, including our teenage daughter, had an amazing 7 night stay. Good accommodation, the most delicious food and the friendliest staff imaginable. Ollie, Lucy, Freddy and Jesse were just 4 staffers who were so welcoming to us. 
Illy, who is the dive instructor of the Blue Sea Star dive centre, was outstanding. Under Illy’s guidance, our daughter logged 10 boat dives and she attained her Pady Advanced Divers certification. She also dived with the tiger sharks. 
The snorkelling in the bay is the best we have experienced anywhere including our own Barrier Reef and Ningaloo Reef. 
I cannot recommend Lalati Resort & Spa highly enough. 
Be sure to visit especially if you dive or snorkel.

Absolutely fantastic

My fiancée and I stayed here for three nights, and despite the bad weather we were unlucky enough to have, we had an amazing time. 
The staff are so friendly and welcoming, as well as really helpful and genuinely happy to do whatever they can to make your stay great. 
The food is wonderful, especially when you consider that you're miles from anywhere. You certainly won't go hungry!
We were updated to a honeymoon suite which was wonderful. The bed was very comfy and the room was immensely spacious and really nicely done. 
The weather meant that we didn't manage to do much snorkelling but we met some people who went on some of the diving trips and they said it was fantastic.
The one minor drawback I would say is that the resort doesn't have a beach. But this really is a minor thing in an otherwise great place. 


A fantastic spot

My son and I went to Lalati Resort for a scuba adventure for his 23rd birthday.  Found it online and took a chance...we got way more than we bargained for!

Beqa Island can only be reached by boat.  No cars, streets, stores.  Seriously remote with a few villages and three resorts widely separated by lush jungle, rugged coast and small steep mountains. Foot paths (at low tide) and small boats are the way to get around. Lalati Resort is a small tropical seashore delight with 14 villas, a top level dive shop and professional spa.

Divers...do the Shark Dive. Spectacular. Thrilling.  Lalati divemasters are expert, helpful and clearly love all marine life.  Our guide went out of his way to carefully remove fishing line from a coral reef.  Warm water, 100+ visibility.

Lalati staff are warm and wonderful. The one bdr villas are huge, beautifully decorated, clean and comfy.  The grounds are lovely. 
 Gourmet food. Charming open-air restaurant, bar, lounge. The Spa Package was 3 sessions of "ahhh."  Especially the banana leaf wrap.

The people were the best surprise of all. So happy, friendly and helpful.  I would give more stars if possible.  Check their website. Best vacation ever!

Pure Paradise plus Awesome Diving.
We love Lalati!

The 5 days that we spent at Lalati Resort & Spa certainly will be fondly remembered by our party of 4. To be honest we were a little concerned after booking then reading the webpage where the Resort stated that they were not a luxury destination and if that what was required possibly to look elsewhere. In my opinion they were underrating themselves quite significantly.

Lalati is approximately 40 minutes by boat from Pacific Harbour.  

It is by most standard a small resort, located on an island with no roads so everywhere is by boat or walking. It is an Adults only resort which suited us.

It is small in size. I believe the maximum number of guest during  our stay was just 21 and at times went down to 10 (and we were 4 of these).

We booked 2 of the Honeymoon Suits which were fantastic. Spacious and very clean. All Bures are beach side. Our package included a Sunset Cruise, Massage, Romantic Dinner at on the wharf, Cocktails on the beach. The staff could not have been more friendly and genuinely nice.

Meals were great. The system was that you order your Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner whilst at breakfast to enable the staff to prepare the meals to order. I have noticed other small resorts that are isolated from supplies (being an Island) also doing this which was fine by us. There are a number of activities for those looking for sedate lifestyles as well as the more active.

We will certainly return to this Resort.  

A seriously fantastic resort

A gorgeous small resort about 30-40 mins boat ride from Suva. I don't think we've ever had such a relaxing holiday. There are plenty of activities/day trips available if you are inclined.
It was all inclusive, with delicious fresh food each day.
The snorkeling was definitely a highlight.
The staff were amazing and really made the stay so memorable.
We hope to go back.
