A Tranquil Island Getaway – Oneta Eco Resort is a small, family-run eco-resort located on one of the most pristine and stunning islands in Fiji.

Shaded by lush greenery and fruit trees, they still offer a clear view of the nearby ocean.
Each bure includes an en suite bathroom and a bamboo-enclosed outdoor shower with ample hot water. Guests can relax on their porch with an afternoon drink while watching fish jump in the ocean.

It features two semi-private king bedrooms separated by a sliding barn door, allowing for customizable privacy.
