How do you get to Qamea?

You will fly into Fiji’s international gateway city of Nadi.  There are convenient non-stop flights to Nadi from Australia (Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne), New Zealand (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch), United States (Los Angeles, Honolulu), Hong Kong, Singapore and from several neighbouring island nations (Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Samoa, and Kiribati).  To reach Qamea from Nadi, you would then jump on a convenient connecting flight on either Fiji Link (the domestic subsidiary of Fiji Airways), or on Island Hoppers.  Upon your arrival in Taveuni you will be greeted by one of our hotel staff who will escort you by private car to our transfer boat for the crossing to our island.  The boat crossing to our island resort takes 8 minutes.  Our reservation staff are happy to make all your arrangements for your domestic transfers from Nadi to our resort.

Our water on Qamea is safe to drink, the staff and our guests drink it every day.

We do also have Fiji Water for sale in our bar.
