Matava Eco Resort is located on the island of Kadavu, a 40 minute flight from Nadi FIJI.

Our accommodation and island boat transfers are payable on Trade as per pricing. Cash is only required for the meal plan and activities such as scuba diving, boat snorkel trips etc.

Pricing is for Oceanfront Bure/Double occupancy at $320 per night for 5 nights. No roads, no noise, no stress and no carbon footprint.

Traditional handcrafted Fijian Bures (villlas), nestled amongst plunging volcanic forests, private sundecks gaze over turquoise lagoons and the Great Astrolabe reef - a rare untouched slice of nature right on our doorsteps. Organic farm-to-table dining, Matava provides the perfect balance of adventure, relaxation and connection, far from the distractions of everyday life.

Whether you seek adventure, wellness or solitude, Matava offers a chance to connect with nature and others.

Diving, snorkelling, riding empty waves, exploring jungle trails, relaxing on deserted beaches or sharing a meal with fellow travellers, we create opportunities for meaningful connections that resonate on a deeper level.

Grab a book and a cocktail from the bar and relax by the pool or spot our beautiful endemic birds on a walk through the organic farm. Or take a SUP or kayak and snorkel gear to setup and snorkel from the white sand beach on the island across the marine reserve in front of the resort.

Matava is a completely self-sufficient and sustainable eco resort. Power is provided by solar and batteries and water is provided by a beautiful natural spring that also feeds our handmade, volcanic rock, mineral swimming pool.

Matava isn't for everyone. It's for the adventurous souls who yearn to trade the manufactured for the natural and unplugged. It's for those who find beauty in disconnection and embrace the rhythm of nature If you must have air conditioning then Matava will not be for you.

To get to Matava resort, you can fly with Fiji Link from Nadi (most days) or Suva (once a week). Check their website, www.FijiAirways.com for the flight schedule. The flight from Nadi takes 40 minutes. The Kadavu airport has restrooms, but not many other amenities. Once you land, our staff will take you on a short 5-minute truck ride to a secluded bay. From there, you might need to wade through shallow water depending on the tide to board our transfer boat. The boat ride to the resort takes about 45 minutes and follows a route along the inside lagoons of the Great Astrolabe reef and offers stunning, beautiful scenery. For smaller groups we use a traditional fijian longboat – don't forget your sunscreen and sunglasses or raincoat!
