Private Island Picnics

Beachside massages and morning Yoga

The highlight of any trip is a picnic on Naviavia Island. Take a specially prepared picnic and spend the day on the powdery white sand and beautifully soothing ocean.  Take a stand up paddle board or kayak with you and float in the calm waters or snorkel across the surrounding reefs.

On your return why not experience a South Pacific massage treatment in the privacy of one of the resorts’ beach side treatment bures.  Relax to the gentle rippling ocean as you indulge in a soothing and restorative spa treatment.    Or maybe try some Fiji Yoga  – every morning join the small class session as the sun rises, or perhaps arrange a private session with one of the resort’s yoga instructors.
