Mamanuca Islands, Fiji


The Mamanuca Islands of Fiji are a volcanic archipelago lying to the west of Nadi and to the south of the Yasawa Islands. The group, a popular tourist destination, consists of about 20 islands, but about seven of these are covered by the Pacific Ocean at high tide.
The Mamanuca Islands, just off the coast of Denarau offer crystal clear waters, palm fringed sandy beaches and live coral reefs. There are islands, villages, great resorts to visit, snorkelling and swimming.
One of the islands, Monuriki, was the main location for the 2000 film Cast Away.




The South Sea Pacific islands have a reputation for amazing beaches which make them a coveted honeymoon destination, and the Mamanuca group of islands has some of the best beaches in Fiji. It is a volcanic archipelago for which the word idyllic might have been created. To really fulfil the desert island fantasy head to the Monuriki Islands which were where the Tom Hanks movie Cast Away was filmed. Although some of the islands are covered during high tide, the rest draw quite a few tourists.
