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

World-class and more friendly waves within a 15-minute boat ride of the resort. There is something for every surfer!

The crystal clear water and the white sand beaches. Matanivusi offers real tropical perfection!

The size of the resort gives it a really intimate and special feeling. Perfect for honeymoons and romantic getaways!

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).

I've used Awave twice ... so far. This is the second time I've used Awave for a trip to the maldives. Stayed in 2 different resorts this time. They've always been incredibly prompt at replying and handled everything for us, making sure the 2 Resorts were in touch to get us transfered half way through our trip. At one of the resorts I even bumped into Giulia and Delia who were out there surfing at the time. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll use awave again if I'm booking a surf trip

Indonesia Surf Trip/ Java/Bali/Sumba - James Colston was my representative from AWAVE - I’m an older solo surfer and James was attentive, respectful, extremely responsive from the initial planning stages all the way through the booking. And he was so patient with all my crazy questions along the way. I couldn’t have been more pleased with James’s level of service. Thank you James

Giulia was an amazing person to book with. I was overwhelmed with choices initially, but AWAVE knew their stuff and helped me with my options and even suggested delaying my trip so I could go to a certain hotel which ended up being the best decision I made all year.

Giulia and James were always on line to answer any question or to give an advice. The Ayada resort is perfect both for families or for couples. We did not have waves as the season goes from April to September, but there are plenty options to have fun and good times. Highly recommended both Awave and Ayada.

The AWAVE team are knowledgable and helpful. Giulia is a very helpful and patient person to deal with, and do not worry, you can trust her. I had to delay my trip to Morocco due to unforeseen circumstances and Giulia was very understanding. I have just returned from having a fantastic week at Amouage in Taghazout. Thanks AWAVE!

Awesome holiday to Hudhuranfushi. Giulia was very helpful and quick to respond and overall we were very impressed with Awave Travel.
Lohi's is a private, on site, awesome left hander that just kept giving. Also had options of 2 daily surf boat trips that went to other local breaks such as Sultans, Ninja's, Cokes, Jails. The surf team are amazing and we scored great waves the whole time we were there.
Stayed in a Sunset family beach villa which was perfect for a family of 4, then upgraded for the last 3 nights to Ocean Villas, both great for different reasons!
Island staff are so helpful and welcoming, and there's a good variety of food options available. Lots of other things to do such as paddleboarding, jet ski-ing, spa treatments, yoga and amazing snorkelling - with sharks, turtles and rays! We also hired bikes to get around and do morning surf checks!
An amazing trip, thank you Awave and Hudhuranfushi!

We had an amazing time on the Mentawai islands booked through Awave Travel.
Giulia was very helpful and available at all times during the booking process. And we had the best time on the Mentawais on the Maki Boat. The staff were amazing. Raul the surf guide was very helpful, friendly and coached us on the waves. Kaique the photographer produced top quality pictures and videos from the water, boat and drone.
Overall very happy and would highly recommend it.

We charted Seafarer for a 10 day trip in the Maldives. We booked with AWAVE about 12 months before. James was super helpful, really responsive and just easy to deal with. We even made a very last minute change to go to the central atolls which he arranged pretty much straight away. The trip itself was unreal, great surf, amazing wildlife and scenery. If you’re thinking about a surf charter, do it and book through these guys!
