The Mamanucas (pronounced “Mama-nooth-as”) are the closest group of islands to Nadi International Airport, just south of the Yasawas and west of Viti Levu. 

Out here, swaying coconut palms and sandy beaches set the scene for a romantic and relaxing getaway, conveniently complimented by a disproportionate number of resorts, family and adults-only accommodation. You may recognize some islands in the Mamanuca group from famous Hollywood films and TV shows. 

Both the classic Tom Hanks film, Castaway, and hit TV show Survivor: Fiji have been filmed here. 

For those who want to embark on their own adventure, the Mamanucas have gained a reputation for snorkeling, famous dive sites and one of the best surf breaks in the world.
