Namale Fiji Islands Resort & Spa

Absolutely brilliant! It’s hard to know where to start, the myriad of activities, the lovely staff, the amazing food, the amazing views…all of it is just...Namale! We spent 7 nights across Christmas and New Years Eve on our honeymoon and we had the most amazing time. It’s hard to say what we enjoyed most which is why we’ll coming back.

We jut spent 10 wonderful days at Namale. This was our second trip, the first was 12 years ago and it was exactly the same 5 star experience. The bure's have been updated and are even more stunning than they were. The grounds are immaculate and sprawl over many acres. The food was delicious with lots of choices, even with our longer stay. The cocktails and wine are excellent quality and free flowing and Kevin and Errol are amazing at creating new and delightful cocktails each day. All the staff at Namale are so friendly, you feel like you are part of the family. The restaurant staff in particular I wanted to take home with us. Millie and Philo were like mothers to us. The water visibilty wasn't fantastic, but expected for this time of year. We went on the snorkel trip each day and enjoyed spectacular corals and lots of small colourful reef fish. There was absolutely nothing to complain about and we would highly recommend Namale. Just spend the extra and get the best bure that you can afford, you will not be disappointed and may not want to leave it!

We returned to Namale for our ten year anniversary after going there for our honeymoon. Staff was attentive and nice as expected. Food was delicious, drinks were fantastic, and the weather was cooperative. The Honeymoon Bure was amazing and worth the upgrade. Would highly recommend this resort a little off the beaten path!

This was the best experience of my lifetime and my wife's lifetime. We were given the best service of our lifetimes. The food we ate was ALWAYS FRESH, and they have a professional chef creating outstanding dishes. You have NEVER had good lobster until you go here. Once you eat a Lobster Tail from Namale, you will never consider it from another restaurant again. It is a peaceful place. The workers at Namale will make you feel at home. The location is amazing. You will be surrounded by the ocean. We will definitely come back to Fiji because of this experience. Like I said, one of the best experiences of my life. Incredible value. If you don't go to Namale, you are missing out on life.

Namale wins the resort analysis. Larger, more appointed villa (Civa Bure Oceanside where we stayed) and way more private; better food selections (4-course varies daily); personalized and more elegant 5-star restaurant dining (not as “beachy” - that could be considered differently); your own private pool (all bures/villas have them); in-room TV with Netflix/ApplePrime in our villa (but not all have it but we are comparing Vanu Point to Civa); simikar activities (snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, with a lovely and long salt water drift that is not available at Turtle Island); BUT no private beaches (Turtle Island definitely does win there with their 15 very private beaches within easy reach). Namale Resort and Spa is likely the BEST Spa in the Fiji Islands (of-course we’ve only experienced two) with a small waterfall, 5 hydro therapy baths, more treatment varieties (including 4-hands and others) and blissful add-ons, wide open doors to the Pacific Ocean views and sounds of the larger ocean waves, and a very expansive facility. Wonderful staff entertainment at Namale and Turtle Island. Kava is a small group unlike the 50-60 staff participating and immersing you in their evening shows.
