The Octopus Resort is a peaceful retreat, nestled away in Likuliku Bay, Waya Island at the southern tip of the Yasawa Group. Our resort is small & friendly, set on a beautiful white sandy beach, offering dramatic sunsets & great snorkeling and diving on the surrounding coral reefs, the first dive site is just 300 meters off the beach !

Created to blend with the environment & combined with local tradition, we provide a village atmosphere, unique among other resorts & hotels.

Bures
We have seventeen traditional Fijian bures, approximately half are located right on the beachfront and the remainder about 30 seconds walk from the beach.

Bure's can accommodate, singles, couples and families. Each bure has its own private bathroom featuring a commercial grade, environmentally friendly solar powered hot water system. You'll love our open roofed showers, they of course are completely private but offer that back to nature feel by being able to gaze up at the tree's, blue sky or stars.

All bures have a queen size bed and a single bed. There is more than enough room to add another single bed or a cot for an infant.We offer baby cots for use at no charge. Bures are lockable and we have a small safe in the office for your valuables if required. Bures are serviced daily by our housekeeping team. In addition to our fluffy bath towels we also provide clean fresh beach towels each day for our guests.

Poppy's Lodge
We're currently building a brand new, four room beachfront lodge. For the convenience of families, groups and friends ,the lodge has the option of single separate rooms and bathrooms or interconnecting rooms if desired. Located right in the heart of the resort, set amongst the trees and just a stone's throw from the water , the lodge's wonderful views can be enjoyed from loungers and inbuilt seating on its decks. Whilst still in fitting with the environment, the lodge is being built with more modern building materials than a traditional Fijian bure.

O.K. so it can be warm in Fiji, but most of us can cope with this and more – one of the best workouts I know is a brisk walk along the beach at Octopus (which is approximately 1 km in length). You can try and run but your feet sink too far into the white sandy beach!

If you wish to do a little more than re-charge your batteries, we offer a range of activities including sunset watching, cocktail drinking, Church Service in the village, and did I mention the snorkelling?

You can participate... or not – this is not Club Med and this is not a Hi de hi Campers – you must have fun - type of resort – the pace is slow and relaxed and you will not be organised to exhaustion. You need to get into the local rhythm – this is not Eastern Standard Time or Greenwich Mean Time it's “Fiji time” here at Octopus. Of course you don’t even need to take one single step off the resort to be kept amused. We field a mean Volleyball team here at Octopus, or if you prefer, petanque, board games or whatever you choose to bring yourself. We have hammocks, over 300 books, swaying palm trees and friendly staff who are always eager to meet new friends.

One of the highlights for most of our guests in nothing anymore complicated that the church service. On any given Sunday in the South Pacific you will be lucky to find anything open. The whole world waits and everybody gets dressed up and goes to church.

Round these parts Saturdays are spent fishing and preparing food, so that after church on Sunday no food preparation needs to take place. So if you wish, you can walk over the hill to Nalauwaki village for the church service on Sundays and be prepared for a totally uplifting (although all in Fijian of course) service and choir (everybody in Fiji seems to be able to sing beautifully).

The kids aren’t forgotten at Octopus, Fijians are reknown around the world for their love of children, and whether you want a babysitter or someone to weave the kids a hat or pick them a coconut – our staff are only too happy to oblige.
Take the kids to the village for a cultural experience they won’t forget in a hurry. With a playground like the Pacific Ocean and our white sandy beach - playstations, computers and television are soon a distant memory.

You and your children will be blown away by the relaxed atmosphere, you won’t believe how cluttered our lives have become and you can almost see the stresses of modern living slipping off their shoulders. It’s a sight worth seeing –their relaxed exhaustion and the spontaneousness that you thought they left behind in preschool.
