Immerse in splendid isolation on a small island in the most unspoiled reaches of the Fijian archipelago. Tucked away amongst the palms are 16 thatched bures offering the perfect escape - no other resorts, no television and just the sounds of the waves and a gentle sea breeze. Welcome to Yasawa Island Resort.

Yasawa Island has ways of captivating the visitor, whether by the spells of turquoise waters or the allure of its people and culture. Guests can visit the local villages and see why. At the invitation of the Chief guests might share a moment in ancient tradition or at the school receive a tribute in children's song.

Guests can take part in a lovo (feast) at the resort, witness a meke (dance ceremony) under the stars, or sense the full resonance of Fijian voice when the village choir pays a visit. No one leaves Yasawa Island unchanged.

Bure means Fijian for Sanctuary. At Yasawa this sanctuary is superbly fitted in contemporary Fijian style - local timbers, traditional art, thatched roofs, overhead fans and plantation shutters. Each is air-conditioned, with its own thatched beach hut, a hammock strung between the palms, a pair of shaded outdoor day beds and a discreet open-air shower set on a screened sundeck.

Supreme among Yasawa's bures is Lomalagi (Fijian for Heaven), secluded at the end of its own beach, hidden from the rest of the resort. This is Yasawa at its most sublime - a bure left to revel in overwhelming solitude, tucked away with only the sound of the sea to interrupt the silence.

Yasawa is an island of isolation, but also one of abundance. Each day the resort's chef prepares superb contemporary food with an emphasis on the succulent seafood caught in the surrounding waters. Lobster plucked from the nearby reefs is a specialty. The host is a qualified viticulturist with arguably the finest cellar in Fiji and a fully stocked bar to boot.

Guests can slip below the surface of Yasawa's pristine waters and catch a matinee of colour and action. They can do it with the resorts' own PADI dive instructor and gain a whole new perspective on their island holiday.

Guests can do as much or as little as they like. They can take a picnic on one of 14 deserted beaches, sail a catamaran or sailboard, visit the local villages, hit the tennis court, or succumb to a soothing massage.
