The Resort
Sonaisali is a true island escape in the beautiful South Pacific Ocean - yet the world you've left behind is only a three-minute boat ride across the lagoon from the main island of Viti-Levu.

Experience the luxury of privacy on Sonaisali without feeling marooned. Each day the choice is yours - simply unwind and relax or you may choose to explore the many varied and exciting attractions of the mainland, or neighboring Mamanuca Islands. On Sonaisali, if you're doing nothing it's because you want it that way!

Opened in 1992 and with major additions in 1998/99 and 2002, the Resort is stylish in both design and execution. Native timbers, plantation shutters and Fijian architecture harmonize with modern interiors designed to please the most discerning guest.

Sonaisali Island Resort Fiji is situated 300 meters off the main island of Viti Levu and only 25 minutes drive from Nadi International Airport. Access to the 105 acre, palm-fringed private island is gained 24 hours per day via complimentary motor launch across a sheltered lagoon.
