The resort offers guests authentic Fijian experiences such as the kava ceremony which is enacted as it has been for centuries, and visitors are welcomed as honoured guests. Originally built in 1967 to unlock the Fijian Coral Coast’s Yanuca Island to the world, the resort completed a two-year upgrade in 2019 to create a new leisure experience for guests and establish the resort as a top dining destination.
