In the heart of the South Pacific, beneath southern skies, lies the island paradise of Fiji. If you travel to dive, eat fine food, bask in the sun, or simply to relax in a tropical paradise, Beqa Lagoon Resort, on the unspoiled island of Beqa, is what you're looking for.

This secluded island has been blessed by nature with the perfect conditions for scuba diving. It is surrounded by one of the world's largest barrier reefs, providing hundreds of unique dives within minutes. Enjoy year-round warm water, and a variety of coral, fish, and sponges that you won't find anywhere else.

From the moment the barefoot staff of Beqa Lagoon welcomes you on-shore with a "Bula Merika Song," a flower, and a hearty handshake, you'll know this place is different.

Diving and Snorkeling
Surrounded by over 190 miles of spectacular coral Beqa Lagoon is one of the world's largest barrier reefs. Diving these calm protected waters is like exploring another world. The water is clear and warm, visibility is typically over 100 feet, currents are mild, and the water temperature stays a fairly constant 80. Many of the most spectacular dive sights are only a few minutes from shore, and if you stayed long enough, you could explore over 100 different sights!

The Dive Masters at Marlin Bay have been diving in these waters since they were children and are some of the most caring people we have ever met. They know every reef and coral head, and if you stick close by, they'll show you where all the most intriguing creatures hide. Blue Ribbon Eels, Clown Triggers, Lion Fish , Leaf Scorpions, Reef Sharks and millions of colorful Anthias and Fusiliers all abound in these waters. On one of our more memorable dives, we caught one local dive guide singing to and conducting a large school of rabbit fish, regulator in hand. I could swear that those fish were dancing to his music.

Accommodations
Far from the rustic huts you might be expecting, Beqa Lagoons private bures (villas) are large and luxurious. Tucked in the coconut trees just a few yards back from the beach, each bure is elegantly furnished with rattan, bamboo and decorated with colorful splashes of fabric and works of art.

Koi Pond Bure Every bure is a mini-suite with a spectacular marble lined bath, a king poster bed and a sitting room with one twin bed and settee. Every front porch has a table, lounge chairs and a beautiful view; and if you walk a few feet in any direction, you can find a cozy hammock to hunker down in with your favorite book or companion.

In addition to our one bedroom villa Beqa Lagoon now has four beach front, 2-bedroom, 1000-sq-ft. bures that are great for families. These have air conditioning, one and a half baths and are elegantly furnished with artwork. The upstairs units have a balcony and downstairs have porches. Now you can bring your whole family to paradise in style.

Join The Dive Shop as we venture back to our beloved island paradise; Beqa Lagoon Resort, Fiji to ring in the New Year in style. We will be leaving from LAX on Thursday February 14th for a non-stop flight to Nandi on the capital island of Viti Levu, where we will be met by our guide who will transport us on a 2 hour scenic tour along the coast of Viti Levu to Pacific Harbor where we will board the Dive boats from Beqa for a short cruise over to the island.
