“There are resorts to suit all budgets, from ultra-luxury (Turtle) to family (Paradise Cove) and backpacker (Mantaray), but I went barefoot and beachfront at Oarsman’s Bay Lodge on Nacula Island. Paradise found.”
In 2023, travel writer Kendall Hill took off for Antarctica, Africa and almost everywhere in between. Among his many travels, he named Fiji’s Yasawa Islands as the best islands he travelled to this year.
“I’d heard about the Yasawas. People reckoned they were the most beautiful of Fiji’s 330 or so islands; the iconic coming-of-age film The Blue Lagoon was filmed here, with the islands standing in as watery Garden of Eden,” he told Escape.com.
“So I had high expectations when I visited this year. All of them were exceeded.
