Focus
On |
Are
you adventurous? Do you prefer
solitude, crystal-clear water and
empty beaches? Is eco-tourism and
protection of the environment more
than a buzzword for you? Would you
enjoy snorkeling above colourful
fish and corals? Do you like
sumptuous, home-style cooking?
If yes, then the
Lawaki Beach House might just be
the place for your next holiday.
Located on Beqa Island, famous for
its firewalkers and recognised as
one of the top dive spots in the
world, our guest house offers
accommodation for only up to nine
people.
The Lawaki Beach
House is owned and operated by a
Swiss-Fiji couple who would love
to pamper you.

costs to be "one step closer
to paradise". |
