Hotels [edit]

Moana's Guesthouse is a pretty nice property near the beach of Lomaloma Bay. Now it is the only accommodation option at Vanua Balavu island.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Nadi International Airport (NAN). Next take Bligh Water Shipping, Lau Shipping (has no website) or Goundar Shipping ferry from Suva. Most routes are on a per monthly basis, so think about the seaplane.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in Fiji's Lau Islands is a dry season from May to November.
