2. Leleuvia Island Resort

This island resort offers a quieter alternative to the popular backpacker trails in the Yasawas but is mainly that – a backpacker resort. Nevertheless, Leleuvia Island Resort offers that island resort experience without the premium price tag, where families can still enjoy their own space in the Private Bures and Deluxe Bures sleeping up to six people (each bed after three people costs extra). Meal plans are compulsory, costing half for children under 12 or free of charge for under 5 years. Some of the best snorkelling on the Lomaiviti Islands can be found off the shores or short boat trip away, while the rest of your time can be filled up with kayaking, sailing, fishing and cultural village visits.
