White Sands for Miles - the Yasawas

 

The Yasawa islands are best known as having the most beautiful beaches in the pacific. They are an island chain of around 20 islands surrounded by beautiful lagoons, bathed in golden sunlight. Nicknamed the "Blue Lagoon Islands", they earned this moniker because the Hollywood movies (2 of them) of the same name were filmed in these islands.

The Yasawas are located on the drier, sunnier side of the archipelago, with warmer temperatures and less rain. They are popular because of their isolated location - away from the crowds, and embodying by a timeless beauty.

Transfer is via boat, helicopter or seaplane - though some islands are not accessible by any means other than seaplane because of their location.

Deserted beaches, cliffs, bays, lagoons and reefs - a totally "Fiji Time" experience is predominant in these beautiful "islands in the sun."
