Boutique All-inclusive Eco-resort with access to the world-famous Frigates!

Matanivusi is a boutique eco-resort on Fiji’s Coral Coast, located on the southern end of the main island, Viti Levu. The resort specializes in surfing, offering selected access to 7 separate reef breaks including the world-famous Frigates.

Beautifully designed, taking full advantage of the surrounding natural beauty, the resort is set between a creek and the white sand beach. Named by STOKE as the world’s first sustainable surf resort, Matanivusi also offers a range of health, wellness, and ocean activities catering for solo travelers, groups, couples, and non-surfers alike!

The Resort

Matanivusi is an all-inclusive boutique resort delivering a Fijian experience like no others. Situated on the Coral Coast, 2 hours south of Nadi, Matanivusi Resort has been built on 4 acres of land. This eco-friendly resort is surrounded by an extremely lush and old forest, abundant fruit trees, and centered around a 200-year-old Banyan tree. The white sandy beach is at your doorstep and fringes the ultra-blue lagoon.

12 exclusive rooms offer each guest a similarly deluxe experience, with an above-ground boardwalk to take you to your bure only metres from the ocean.

There is a fully stocked cocktail bar in the restaurant which overlooks the swimming pool and out to the lagoon and surf breaks. Wifi is available around the main building.

Waves at Matanivusi

There is surf all year round in Fiji with two different surf seasons. The winter season is from April to October when the low-pressure systems in the Southern Hemisphere produce consistent ground swells which can get up to 8-10ft. The summer season from November to March is generally associated with shorter duration swells, low crowds and light winds with often glassy conditions. This is the time when the local right-hand reef breaks really begin to fire up.

Frigates is the gem of the area, rivalling Cloudbreak in size, perfection and consistency and can be reached from the resort on a day trip. The other 6 local breaks (rights and lefts) reachable within a short boat ride are Pipe, J’s, Shifties, Serua, Leftovers and Vunaniu. All the surf breaks are over coral reef.

Why We Love Matanivusi

The Bures

The Deluxe rooms have been created for the perfect tropical getaway. With a great use of space, the rooms have large windows, are fan-cooled, fully screened, and have mosquito nets.

Spacious enough to incorporate a king-size bed or king singles, an ensuite with hot and cold water, and a sitting area and private deck looking over the lagoon, all rooms are beachfront and have direct access to the beach and lagoon.

Each bure (Fijian house) consists of 2 deluxe rooms. These are perfect for families or larger groups, with the choice of interconnecting rooms. The rooms can accommodate up to 2 adults and 1 child (king bed and one single) and cots are available.

The Cuisine

The package at Matanivusi includes 3 cooked meals a day from an ever-changing menu based on local and seasonal favourites. This includes a 3-course evening meal prepared by the superb on-site chef and all-day tea and coffee.

Matanivusi’s restaurant offers an eclectic fusion of Fijian, Indian and contemporary dishes using only the freshest ingredients. The sustainable restaurant uses fruits grown from around the property depending on the season, vegetables cultivated in the local villages, and fresh Yellowfin Tuna and Mahi Mahi from the daily catches brought in at Suva harbor.

The Restaurant and Bar have been designed with the intention of maximizing the view of the coral-fringed lagoon. The Bar also has a selection of wine and beers, along with a full range of spirits and liqueurs. If you are looking for something romantic you can have a candlelit dinner on your private deck.

Activities

Many activities are available at the resort on top of surfing: Snorkelling (lagoon and on the reef), Diving, Shark Dives, Stand Up Paddleboarding, Kayaking, Rainforest Walk, Guided Plantation Walk, Village Tour, Kava Ceremony, Zip Lining, White water rafting, Golf, Waterfall trips, Volleyball, Table-Tennis, and a large collection of books, magazines, and DVDs.

Wellness

Massages are available at the resort. Pamper yourself and relax those aching muscles with the masseuse from Balance Spa and select a treatment that suits your needs. This is done in the privacy of your own room.

Kite

The area is renowned for consistent Trade Winds throughout September – November and offers a multitude of reef breaks ideal for kiting. Intermediate and advanced kitesurfers will love the size and diversity of this natural playground. Matanivusi offers world-class kitesurfing downwinders, surf-kiting and flat-water kiting. Epic downwinders and reef breaks including Frigates and Fijian Pipe surround the area and cater to varying levels of experience (no beginners).

My wife and I booked an 8 day surf charter on the Gahaa with a dedicated surf guide Moussa who was worth his weight in gold knowing what breaks would be firing and his knowledge of marine life and Maldivian environment enlightening for my wife and I. From the initial booking and contact Guilia at AWAVE made the whole process seamless communication was excellent. I have traveled extensively and surfed many parts of the world this trip truly exceeded my expectations the crew were incredible taking us to excellent surf and snorkeling locations. The boat itself is a converted fishing Dohni that exudes old world charm is clean and meticulously cared for. The meals prepared for us were nothing short of exceptional excellent variety and plenty of it a mix of western and Maldivian fare. We are definitely coming back and certainly using AWAVE again! Thank you Giulia and Moussa our trusted surf guide who gave us incredible insights into Maldivian culture.

Absolutely Recommended. Giulia and James are top professionals: I will be using Awave for all my future surf trips. I have been surfing for 30 years and travelled the world so I have dealt with a lot of agents. Awave is in the top spot as far as I am concerned. I spent 10 days with them on a boat trip in Maldives’ central atolls: not only their recommendations were spot on but being a boutique agency they tailor the surf experience to the very specific needs. They are surfers (real chargers) and know personally each spot and surf operator they recommend (wtether it is a guest house or a resort or a boat).

Trip of a lifetime. First and foremost I'd like to thank James Colston from Awave Travel, for assisting me in every which way to help book one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my life. He was extremely responsive and answered every single question I had, even the dumb ones haha. As for AYADA, holy dooly, that place is paradise! Absolutely breathtaking, I couldn't believe I was actually walking around such a beautiful island! Big love to the staff at Magu Restaurant, seeing as how I ate there pretty much everyday, they were amazing! Very switched on and quick off the mark to help with anything that was needed. A special mention to Dhaboa and the captain who took me out surfing! I cannot speak highly enough about their friendly, helpful and straight up on point expertise. With Dhaboa picking the spots to surf and tips on where to sit to catch the best waves on the day, to the wonderful captain himself, filming and sending me videos of the waves I caught.
Absolute legends! Made my surf trip! Best holiday I've ever been on to this date.

Reliable travel agency to book a surf trip - Both Giulia and James were very reactive and adivsed on the best options. In our case we made a boat trip in Maldives. It is the second time we use Awave Travel to do a surftrip to Maldives and we have had a very good experience in both cases. They are a reliable and trustworthy travel agency, I highly recommend them.
