Mantaray Island is a resort ringing with action.

A perfect mix of relaxation, culture and enjoyment in a luxury resort accommodation setting.
Location
The Resort is located on the island of Nanuyabalavu, south of Naviti Island in the Yasawa Group. The Yasawas are offshore from Nadi and Lautoka on Fiji’s main island of Viti Levu.
TRANSFERS are by way of the Yasawa Flyer, which departs Port Denarau at 8:30am and arrives at Mantaray Island Resort at (midday). When it is time to leave, the ’Flyer’ departs Mantaray Island at 2:30pm and arrives at Port Denarau at 5.30pm.
Accommodation
Our bures line the shoreline and after partying each night away you are sent off to sleep by the gentle rhythm of the waves. Only steps away from the beach, each bure is built to let in the cool seabreezes and is fitted with open plantation shutters which let sunlight filter in.
Mantaray Island Resort is an environmentally friendly resort, from the toilet systems to the reef awareness programs. It simply ensures that you can come back to Mantaray Island over and over again and experience the same incredible atmosphere.
Dining & Entertainment
At Mantaray Island the coconuts are plentiful and in season, so are guavas, pineapples, mangoes and other fresh fruits. Everyday you can have your fill of the most succulent seafood, including crayfish and local fish, which are caught daily from nearby waters. We do not hesitate in serving you a colourful abundance of the tastiest and freshest traditional Fijian dishes and European cuisine.
Night time is further reason to celebrate as our Chef prepares a traditional lovo, an underground barbecue in which an entire feast is cooked over hot rocks while buried in earth. While sampling the feast which emerges from the lovo pit is a most enjoyable experience, the preparation is equally tantalising.
After a fulfilling meal with friends, prepare to really Mix It Up with a range of world famous cocktails, or even a local Pacific Island beer as you party the night away, enjoying the genuine warmth of the Fijian people while the Manta Rays glide gracefully in the water before you.
Activities
Whatever your Island wish, we go to great lengths to ensure your holiday is mixed the way you like it - your own perfect holiday. Mantaray Island Resort is ideally nestled around two gorgeous white sandy beaches, sunset side and sunrise side, to make sure you soak in Fiji all day long.
