Shangri-La Yanuca Island, Fiji
Located on a private island adjoined to the coast of Viti Levu, the idyllic Shangri-La Yanuca Island offers island bliss just a short distance from Nadi.

For the grown-ups, the resort offers beautifully appointed suites and bures with ocean views, Fijian decor and private balconies.
Once you’re settled, send the kids off to the exciting Little Chief’s Kids’ Club or take advantage of the babysitting service while you enjoy a beach massage, a spa experience or an escape to the adults-only area for a cocktail by the infinity pool. Later, splash around in the water park (ages seven and up) or enjoy snorkelling, watersports, mini golf, basketball, golf or tennis.
