GENERAL INFORMATION
As closely to nature as you are likely to get... A maximum of six couples on an island of 110 acres in the Koro Sun sea!

Moody's Namena Resort is an environmentally friendly private island South Pacific getaway that offers scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing or honeymoon vacations with Fijian bure accommodation.

The Resort is a secluded paradise with white sand beaches as well as hiking trails through tropical forest.

If communing with nature without giving up creature comforts is your idea of escape from a stressful, hectic lifestyle, then ... Welcome to Moody's Namena.

We have a five night minimum stay which is all-inclusive of accommodation in secluded oceanfront bamboo bure, all meals, free activities and round-trip sea transfers between Savusavu & Namena Island.

No children under the age of 16, no day trips to the island, singles and couples only... the island is yours and yours only.

Moody's Namena is closed every year in the months of March and April

Clubhouse & Dining

The large hexagonal bure, 'vale ni kana' - or clubhouse, is our central gathering place consisting of lounge area, dining, self-serve bar and houses a large paperback library. Here you will find books on fish and coral identification, birds, local culture & traditions. Dining is usually communal and a time to share the day's experiences with fellow guests. However, for our romantics or honeymoon couples who prefer to dine alone, our staff are happy to set up a table on the patio. Meals are included in the daily tariff and wine is complimentary with dinner. Our kitchen staff bake breads, pastries, cakes daily and can cater to your dietary requirements.

Walking

Walking trails are carved across the tropical forest, leading one to remote beaches where a picnic lunch can be sent upon request. At the highest elevation - around 400 feet - he found rock ruins of an ancient civilization and samples of pottery found were sent off and analyzed to be 2000+ years old.

Diving

Fiji's reef eco-system (often called the soft coral capital of the South Pacific) is diversified and the Namena Barrier Reef which surrounds Namenalala Island is acclaimed by diving publications as one of Fiji's best sites.

We do not anchor the boat on any part of the reef; your trained boat crew will follow and pick you up when your dive or snorkel is finished. We recommend divers carry a safety sausage. We do not teach diving so you must be a certified diver and bring your C-Card.

US$95 (Fiji $164) per person per day for two dives.

Bird-watching

Bird-watching is a popular pastime and within the nature reserve is a red-footed booby nesting colony and a flying fox camp. Lesser frigates circle lazily at soaring heights, swooping down on the red-footed boobys to steal dinner away from them.

More

Other water activities are windsurfing, canoeing, ocean kayaking, fishing. Join the Fijians handlining or trolling the deep blue with Moody.

Relax in a hammock strung between palm trees. Join the staff in a game of beach volleyball. Or have a picnic lunch sent to a remote beach. With a maximum capacity of 6 couples, the island is virtually your home away from home.

Travel Preparation

Fiji's weather is tropical and our resort is casual so pack light. Shorts, tee-shirts, bathing suits; typical resort wear; although in Fiji's winter months (June thru September) the tradewinds bring cooler temperatures so a windbreaker or light summer sweater and a pair of long pants would be suitable in the evening. Average temperature is 80-85 degrees F. November-May which is spring/summer in the land downunder; June-September, our winter months, average is 72-78 degrees F. The traditional wrap-around called a sulu in Fiji is worn by both women and men (you will find a gift of a sulu upon check-in) and we keep a stock if you'd like to add to your wardrobe. Local custom frowns upon topless or nude sunbathing.

Bring along an old pair of tennis or walking shoes for the bush hikes or for exploring the tidal pools along portions of the rocky shoreline and a pair of sandals or rubber thongs for the trails to the beaches and bures.

Sunscreen and a hat; medicines should be packed in your carry-on along with a change of clothing (shorts & tee-shirt) ... very seldom does baggage go missing for long but we are remote and it could take a couple of days to get to the island. We have a limited supply of toiletries, film, batteries, etc. so do keep that in mind.

Electricity: Although we do not have electricity in the bures, we do have charging facilities at the office/laundry area. Fiji uses the same 3 prong plug as does Australia and New Zealand and current is 240v ; we have an inverter which will accommodate 110V chargers. As we do not run the generator continually, we ask you to arrive with fully charged batteries so we can keep them topped off.

Bring along some basic medications - Aquaear, a tube of triple antibiotic ointment, anti-fungal ear drops, Sudafed, Bonine.

Snorkelers: We suggest a long-leg, long sleeve lycra bodysuit to protect from sunburn. They are lightweight and won't take up much space.

For travel to Fiji, a passport valid for at least 3 months beyond your holidays in Fiji and a ticket for onward travel. There is a departure tax which is collected at the Nadi International Airport of Fijian dollars $30 per person paid in cash notes.

The various 'bure' sites were chosen carefully and spaced hundreds of yards apart to provide the ultimate in privacy.

Our resort bures are hexagonal and built of native woods, bamboo and cane to blend with the environment. As each bure is perched along the ridge, all are oceanfront and each has its own unique view out to sea, overlooking either the beach or the reefs at the base of the cliffs.

One of the six sections of the hexagon is the bathroom area with his/her toilets & sinks joined by an over-size shower. The bedroom is dominated by a king-size canopy bed with mosquito netting draped around the base of the canopy. You'll find coffee/tea making facilities in the beautiful hardwood cabinet tucked in a corner of your bedroom. Romantic gas lamps, reminiscent of lighting at the turn of the century, provides 24 hour lighting. There are solar lamps for reading in bed along with a fan for our hot humid summers when the tradewinds are light. Piped-in gas runs your lights, hot water for showers and your tea kettle.
