Maqai Beach Eco Resort

This was the perfect honeymoon spot. Pristine beaches, amazing food, and the best staff ever. They made us feel like family while spoiling us at the same time. Great waves for surfing, along with the best snorkeling of our lives. The Kava and live music each evening made celebration available to all who will join. If you want to relax on the sand or in a hammock in tranquility this is the place. Uncrowded and beautiful. They went above and beyond to make our honeymoon the best.

Maqai Beach Eco Surf Resort is truly a special place. The scenery is stunning, the surfing was great, the snorkelling off the charts, the food amazing, but most of all the staff there are exceptional and deserve every accolade for service and friendliness. The staff are without doubt the greatest asset to Maqai and make the place so special and memorable. We miss you all already! Go here if you want an authentic Fijian experience with a minimal ecological/carbon footprint courtesy of low impact accommodation, an absence of the need for plastic water bottles and locally-sourced food. I can see why Maqai have repeatedly won major awards for their Sustainability credentials and hope that future directions maintain this. We are already saving to come back! Sota Tale Cathy and all the crew! Bec and Bill.

Exceeded all expectations. This piece of paradise is truly the 'hidden gem' of the South Pacific. The island is pristine, the surf is great for all levels, snorkeling and fishing is world class, food top shelf, and the staff are simply the best. They are always there to make your stay as smooth and enjoyable as you could hope for. I will be back, next time for a month. thank you for filling my bucket in so many ways. Nathan

Im sitting here at 5.15am , ive just made my plunger of coffee and Sala and Mossy are setting up the eating area for breakfast. Its my last day of 10 and im reflecting on just how amazing this place is. Im here with 7 other mates and two of us are celebrating our 50th's. We've had some amazing days surfing both the right and the left which is just a 5 minute boat ride straight out from the island. Even when the winds up the left has the most amazing clean faces. And when your not surfing you can snorkel straight out in front where the reef drops away into a blue abyss. I watched a turtle cruise on by yesterday along with more fish than i thought possible. I could keep on writing about how great this island is , but to sum it up the staff are next level and will go out of their way to make sure you get everything you need , the food is amazing , the surf is awesome and uncrowded and the whole "vibe" is something i will never forget. Do yourself a favour and get here

I arrived on Gamea island on September 16, 2024. I stayed for 10 nights. I went solo which I often do. I was not sure what to expect. This resort is not for those who wish to have large groups of people around you. This hotel has only 10 ocean front bures. The experience is unique and personal. The staff treat you as family! They help you with anything you wish to do. Cathy and Wani run the ship they were very helpful with anything I requested. The snorkeling excursion was top notch. We had three staff with us, and we had a picnic lunch and fresh grilled fish! The food was absolutely delicious! I participated in the Kava nights and celebrated my birthday there. They made it special. A special appreciation to these people, Cathy, Wani (managers), Uli (super fisherman!), Navo (boat captain), Mosi (coconuts, basket weaving), Sala, Sia (housekeeping), Mama Lusi, mama Soko (chefs), Jale (bartender extraordinaire), Pela (singer), Peter (hiking guide), and Sara the sewer who altered my placemats. Sorry if I forgot anyone’s name. You were all truly wonderful!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Most relaxing holiday ever. Beautiful place beautiful people…. We are not surfers but there was plenty to do for 5 days. We enjoyed the Taveuni tour. Accommodation was comfortable and attractive without frills. Food was home style cooking and very good, especially the fish and lovely home made bread. And the hospitality of the staff was faultless. Highly recommended

Absolutely incredible island with surf, snorkelling and beautiful unspoilt beaches as well as the friendliest staff. We loved our time here and we’re so grateful to be able to have fun times with the staff and take part in traditions like cava ceremonies, weaving and lovo oven cooking. There was plenty for everyone to do, including my 5 and 15 year old daughters, and also plenty of time to relax in the beautiful setting. The staff worked so hard to make everything lovely for us and we appreciated their warmth and welcome so much. This is a very special place because of the interaction with Fijian people and the unspoilt location. We hope it will always stay this way. Thank you all!

The resort is awesome. We surfed super fun waves all week. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing and the vibe was very relaxed. Thanks to Cathy, James, Uli, Sony, Mumma Lucy and the rest of the team. We will be back.
