Nagigia Island Resort
|
Pronounced “Na-Neen-Ya”, Nagigia Island is named after the Senagigia flower that is unique to Nagigia Island. The resort is a blue water sports resort par excellence on one of the most beautiful islands on this planet.
Location
Nagigia Island is the most south-western point of the Fiji islands, situated at Cape Washington, about one kilometre off the western extremity of Kadavu Island. Its position is 65 miles south west of Suva, the capital of Fiji and 85 miles south of Fiji’s international airport at Nadi.
The map coordinates of Nagigia Island are 178°E 19°S.
Local time is GMT (UTC) plus 12 hours.
Pacific Sun Airlines offer scheduled flights from both Nadi and Suva to Kadavu (Vunisea Airport) daily. Pacific Sun offer charter flights to Kadavu by arrangement with the resort to suit your travel requirements.
Seaplane and Helicopter charter flights from Nadi International Airport to Nagigia Island Resort are also available. The resort has its own helipad, free to use by arrangement. Contact Resort direct for quotes and bookings of your local travel requirements.
Accommodation
There are 10 separate ’bures’ (Fijian style cottages) poised over the waters edge with great sea views. There are full bathroom facilities, showers and flushing toilets.
The bures are very close to the water - you can hear the water lapping at night under your room as if you are on a boat. From the building where the restaurant and bar and office are situated, you have a spectacular view of the surf breaks from the deck and to ‘King Kong’ mountain on Kadavu Island.
ACCOMMODATION prices include all meals, surfing, snorkelling, kayaking and local village visits and island excursions. A small daily charge is levied for surfers. Sports fishing trips are charged per trip dependant on the vessel used.
EXCLUSIVE WHOLE ISLAND CHARTER: Have the “ENTIRE” island exclusively for you and your friends. The epitome of luxury seclusion, you and up to 30 of your family, friends or business associates can secure the whole island for special functions (weddings, etc) or corporate team building events for your colleagues and business clients.
Minimum number is only 16 adults. Nagigia Island is exclusively yours for only US$200 per person per night. Maximum about 30 people depending upon the room configuration you choose. One of the most beautiful and romantic places on earth.
Dining & Entertainment
The resort has a central kitchen, bar and dining area - tasty wholesome food is provided from our 5 Star trained chef. The cuisine includes tropical island style, using the freshest of local produce and freshly caught fish, as well as full western style dishes. Our chef is happy to cater to most dietary requests by prior arrangement. Full afternoon/evening bar service available, payable upon departure.
Activities
The island comprises 35 acres and has several beautiful walks around Nagigia Island and guided walks up King Kong mountain, so named because it was the location for the 1935 film.
• A sheltered lagoon great for snorkeling
• Lagoon and offshore kayaking
• Experience the culture of Nabukelevu-ira Village.
• Beautiful scenery, and stunning sunsets
Fishing
Nagigia Island is a fisherman’s heaven. It has truly world-class deep sea and small boat fishing. Approximately 400 meters (1,200 ft) offshore is a deep trench going as deep as 6,000 ft. There is also a sea mountain 7 miles south that comes up to 120 ft with sides as deep as 3,000 ft.
Located just 60 nautical miles south of Fiji’s main island Viti Levu, Kadavu is a rugged, remote and breathtakingly beautiful island that oozes with aquatic adventure and charm. Home to The Great Astrolabe Reef it is noted for it’s awesome dive sites and more recently its virgin fishing grounds privy only to a select number of charter vessels. With raging currents, seamounts, canyons and drop-offs galore, the chances of hooking up to marlin here is high.
Kadavu has the added bonus of exceptional surface gamefishing for traditional species such as Blue and Black Marlin, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Dogtooth Tuna, Groper, Walu, Giant Trevally, Mahi Mahi and many more. Throw in the surf, diving, remoteness and sheer beauty and you have a rare combination.
When you are staying at Nagigia Island Resort, the fishing grounds are right on your doorstep, only 5-10 minutes away with many large fish caught close to Cape Washington. The boats used are open type fiberglass and because the fish are on our doorstep, the cost to go fishing is extremely reasonable. Much larger big game fishing boats are available for charter. Whatever your fishing wish, we can provide it.
Diving
SCUBA Diving
Nagigia Island is Fiji’s most southerly resort and has only recently been discovered as a world class dive location with some of Fiji’s deepest waters, year round outstanding visibility and fish life of a magnitude rarely seen in today’s over exploited world. This is still truly a pristine marine environment with wall dives to rival any in the world offering caves, swim throughs and amazing underwater canyons for some very exciting diving adventures.
This area is believed to be a major Manta Ray breeding area as they are frequently seen with very young juveniles cruising along the spectacular wall drop offs and rising from the azure depths to greet our diving parties. Beautiful coral formations complete the experience. Dive sites suit all categories of SCUBA divers, from the novice to the serious adventure diver.
Snorkeling
The reef adjacent to Nagigia Island is sheltered and calm, and offers an unparalleled snorkeling experience that will appeal to the novice and the experienced snorkeler alike. The tide range is only 1 metre and for most of the day the reef is easily inspected at close range in about 2 metres of water depth.
Glide across the reef in the slow currents to further enhance the fun look down into the cavernous caves and trenches that dot this remarkable reef. Snorkeling gear is provided on the island and included in the rate.
Surfing
Nagigia is a mecca for surfing, wind surfing and kite surfing enthusiasts. It has private surf breaks, rights and lefts and enjoys offshore prevailing (trade) winds. There is an excellent viewing platform on land near the main left hand break for spectators. A boat is available everyday to take you to the surf. Surfing Fiji at its best! Surf Fiji left and right handers depending upon the wind, tide and swell direction. The prevailing winds are cross offshore for the King Kong left. The average size is 3’ to 5’ offshore. This break has a very deep water take-off, reducing risk of injury and is good for intermediate to advanced surfers. There are several beginner areas depending upon weather conditions plus a long right hand surf break at Uatotoka (boat trip extra cost) if conditions are correct. All other breaks are nearby.

The climate is tropical and oceanic with sea breezes making for excellent conditions. Water temperature is ideal for surfing. Most surfers wear a rash guard for sun protection and wind chill factor.
South-east Trade Winds prevail; day temperatures range from 20°C to 30°C (70°F to 85°F) and humidity is high (65% to 75%). The rainy season is
