Lawaki Beach House

Coral Coast


This small resort sits in front of an isolated beach on the southwestern side of Beqa. The place comprises two double bures with en suites and verandahs, and a six-bed dorm. The unobtrusive and cosy set-up blends well with the surrounding environment, as do the solar, recycling and water-use practices. Guests mingle together in the communal lounge, soaking up the relaxed mood.

There is good snorkelling off the secluded, pristine white-sand beach, as well as diving, surfing, and visits to the nearby village. Transfers from Pacific Harbour cost $220 one way (one or two guests). Alternatively, you catch the small public ferry from the Navua Jetty. The ferry usually leaves between noon and 2.30pm Monday through Saturday, and costs $40 per person one way. It returns to Navua at 7am every day but Sunday.
