Matangi is a privately owned island and a relaxed, informal resort. The resort is made up of eight luxurious bures (traditional Fijian wooden cabins), three treehouses with their own private Jacuzzis, and a two-bedroom villa that鈥檚 ideal if you鈥檙e looking for even more privacy.
The island is located very near some of the best dive sites in the world, and the resort provides equipment and courses for divers of all abilities.
There are plenty of activities on offer at the resort, while Taveuni Island is only a short distance away by boat. It has walking trails that wander amid rampant tropical vegetation and some of Fiji鈥檚 best beaches.
OUR OPINION:
For us, Matangi encompasses everything that鈥檚 quintessentially Fijian: great beaches, crystal-clear waters and warm hospitality. An added bonus, in our book, is the resort鈥檚 proximity to fringing reefs 鈥� they make for some particularly excellent snorkeling.
