"Take the road less travelled at Oneta Resort

Remote and ethical far-flung luxury on Kadavu'

Oneta Resort - Kadavu


BOOK NOW

Reconnect with Nature

Perfect for underwater weddings and honeymoons


  • This chic eco dive resort is harmoniously nestled in the lush tropical rainforests and powdery white sand beaches on Fiji's least developed island.  After arriving at the tiny propellor plane airports you'll be transported along the beautiful and desolate coast line of Kadavu  by speed boat.  Picnic on a pristine beach before arriving at the resort.


  • Kadavu (pronounced 'Kan - dar - voo') retains over 75% of its natural forest land. There are no roads here. Enjoy the  magic of the island's flora and fauna on the edge the largely unexplored and pristine  waters of the Great Astrolabe Reef.  Oneta Resort consists of 5 bures and 2 villas connected by walkways.  The resort is meticulously designed in Fijian style  on 75 acres of beach front land containing waterfalls and a myriad of native trees, flowers and birdlife.


  • Diving is very varied - there are vast vertical walls of hard corals, swim through rock systems and soft coral dives.  Pelagics are not in short supply down in the waters off Kadavu. Dolphins and humpbacks are frequently seen from the dive boat and mantas are present between April to November at a cleaning station conveniently situated 10 minutes from the resort.

#bu!

Fresh coconut juice is known as 'BU' in Fijian.  It comes from young coconuts husked and hacked open with effortless expertise (more credit worthy once you've tried it yourself) .   These coconuts are succulent, refreshing and rich in nutritional content due to high electrolyte properties.


Fijians, like other Islanders in the South Pacific, have long used young coconuts for drink in times of drought and for healing as Bu have antibacterial qualities.


These gems of nature are hideously refreshing and can alleviate the effects of hangovers!
