Nestled on the remote shores of Maqai Island in Fiji, the Maqai Eco Surf Resort is a hidden gem for travellers seeking an authentic island escape and immersion in Fijian culture. Accessible only by boat, this secluded sanctuary offers a blend of sustainable luxury and raw natural beauty. The resort, set up by surfers, fuses traditional Fijian architecture and contemporary eco-conscious design. Guests are welcomed by rustic thatched-roof bures, exuding island charm. Each low impact bure features locally sourced materials, from handcrafted wooden furnishings to traditional Fijian artwork. Accommodations range from beachfront bures to spacious family villas. The spa at Maqai Eco Surf Resort is a serene oasis for some pampering treatments inspired by traditional Fijian healing practices. Surf enthusiasts will love the world-class breaks just steps from their doorstep. Snorkelling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding provide more surface level enjoyment of the South Pacific. For a taste of local culture, there are traditional Fijian ceremonies, cooking classes to make the traditional lovo feast, and guided hikes through the island’s lush interior.
