The small island of Beqa holds over nine villages and two resorts, one of which is our partner resort aptly named the Beqa Lagoon Resort.
The resort lies sandwiched between idyllic villages, with travellers landing at its coral reef jetty amidst a warm Fijian welcome with songs and flower leis. The resort offers a limited inventory of spacious cottages and villas to ensure privacy and a private island-like tranquillity.
It also encourages visitors to know more about the Fijian way of living, its history and culture through stories and songs, nature walks and village tours – an imperative for cultural aficionados!
Water activities are plentiful and almost all are complimentary – the dive centre is PADI-certified and it helps to learn diving at one of the best diving destinations in the world.
Snorkelling, canoeing and windsurfing equipment are all available and free of charge. Travellers will find beaches free of crowds, cool island breezes rustling through palm trees, tropical forests full of colourful birds and endless hours of fun snorkelling amongst its beautiful coral reefs and the resident marine life.

Beqa is home to a tranquil lagoon, the spiritual home of Fijian firewalkers, over 100 distinct dive sites, and game fishing hot-spots. Step back in time and let Beqa woo you with great snorkelling, diving, spacious villas, tantalising seafood and lazy island evenings.
The island of Beqa is the lip of a dormant volcano, the edges making a tranquil lagoon of crystal-clear aquamarine intensity. It makes for picture-perfect postcards of boats floating on sheets of glass, the shadows hanging a few feet below on the white sandy bottom of the lagoon. Measuring just 36 square kilometres across, Beqa is often ignored for the flashier cousins of Mamanucas and Yasawas. But it is here where the true spirit of tropical relaxation can be found. There are no roads, no cars, no traffic (obviously!), the resorts have no TVs and Internet is only available at the main communal huts of resorts. But to make up for the missing modernities, Beqa boasts of world-class diving, surfing, hiking and fishing.
One of the many draws of the island is the show of Fijian firewalkers. Only performed by the immediate male family members of the village priests, it is a breathtaking spectacle to watch warriors walk over red-hot stones and flames unscathed. Although not exclusive to Beqa (because traditions spread!), watching the show at the home of the fire-walkers is an inimitable experience.
