Book Viwa Island hotels

Beautiful room, wonderful staff

The Fijian people were wonderful! We spent only 3 nights as an add-on to a dive vacation so we snorkeled right off the beach and it was amazing! The reef was very healthy and saw plenty of fish, live soft coral and even a Crown of Thorns starfish. We stayed in the beachfront villa and was very happy with everything, the aircon, outdoor bathroom and the front deck. The only notable discomfort was the sharp tile around the shower. Food in the restaurant was very very good and with plenty of variety. Portions were generous the fresh drinking water was delicious. WIfi was good in most parts of the resort, but I was there to unplug. The stairs leading to the restaurant were a bit challenging when it was raining so wear shoes with good traction. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone looking to escape from the ratrace.

We had the most incredible holiday here—absolutely loved every minute! The location is breathtaking, and the adults-only atmosphere made it feel even more special and relaxing. The staff were outstanding—so warm, friendly, and genuinely dedicated to delivering five-star service. The food was absolutely amazing, with every meal exceeding our expectations. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway and would highly, highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable escape!

What an experience. Bill and Paula and their extended family were so kind, and really made us feel welcome in their family and their village of Yamata. The accommodations were clean, the food was excellent, and Bill was great with communication leading up to our visit. Snorkeling with sharks is not to be missed, and same with the low tide beach that is walkable (between Wayasewa and Wayalevu). Read all the other reviews so you know how to prepare, and you will have an unforgettable experience. Our family won't forget our time at this homestay.

This place and these people are amazing. What a great stay, you won’t be disappointed.

Ocean View is a must-stay homestay for anyone looking to experience true Fiji time. As a solo traveler, the room was perfect — clean, comfortable, and peaceful. Vil and Paola took amazing care of me and always made sure I was comfortable. While the food was a bit pricey, the portions were massive as long as you are an adventurous eater — depite this I never finished a full plate! I was the only traveler on the island during my stay, which pushed me out of my comfort zone and led to some of the most meaningful experiences of my trip. I met many locals, learned about village life, and truly felt welcomed. I highly recommend attending the Sunday church service and joining the village-wide community lunch — it’s a beautiful way to connect and experience a full day of rest in true Fiji style. There’s an incredible reef just outside the school and a beautiful sandbar just a short walk and swim from the homestay. I also went handline fishing and snorkeling with sharks — both included in a single 50 FJD trip that was well worth it. I also recommend buying souvenirs from them — the prices were much better than anything I saw in Nadi, and you know the money supports the village directly, not a scam. If you’re after adventure, culture, and connection, Ocean View should be at the top of your list. 6/5 stars!
