Remote island hideaway nestled into five acres of rainforest on Qamea Island in northern Fiji.

We’re all familiar with the famous Fijian surf breaks of Cloudbreak, Restaurants, and the like (and their crowds), but Fiji has a few rare surf gems tucked away from the well-worn surf path. Maqai Beach Eco Surf Resort and its stellar wave out front are a couple of those gems.

Located on Qamea Island, just east of Taveuni Island in northern Fiji, this slice of paradise sits on a private stretch of white sand beach with perfectly turquoise Fijian water and some seriously amazing surf on offer, minus the crowds. Directly in front of the resort, there’s an epic right-hand wave and a handful of breaks within a 5 to 15-minute boat trip.

Some hotels might feel off-the-beaten-path, well Maqai (pronounced “Mun-guy”) really is off-the-beaten path. If you’ve ever wanted to live out your own Robinson Crusoe fantasy, this is the place. It’s like being a castaway on a remote tiny island, except you’re glamping, eating delicious food, and you have boats to the best breaks around.

With all-inclusive surf packages, an outstanding staff that makes you feel like family, and darn good pricing for the South Pacific, Maqai is a special surf resort out of the ordinary.

Features

Inside

The beachfront bures (Fijian huts) are very basic but comfortable, and what they lack in amenities they make up for in location (it’s only a few steps to the beach and water’s edge). Rooms include private bathrooms, mosquito nets, fans, and unlimited tropical breezes.

Outside

Soaking up the stunning natural surroundings is the name of the game at this island paradise. There are a few land-based activities, but the highlights (besides the waves) center around the crystal clear water – go snorkeling, diving, and exploring pristine beaches.

Eat & Drink

The Sandbar is the open-air communal area of the resort with areas for dining, lounging, and pingpong-ing. Since the resort is so remote, full meal packages are required. Lucky for guests, the food is homemade, delicious, and enjoyed with your feet in the sand.

The Surf

Many of the most famous breaks in Fiji are located in the south, which pick up different swells than northern Fiji where Maqai is located. While the area gets year-round swell, the best surf season in Maqai is their summer, around November to April, when the offshore winds are most consistent. The summer season in Maqai is when the rights really fire up. There’s no need to waste surf time getting out to breaks, as a 5-minute boat ride will take you to a selection of uncrowded waves including Maqai, a world-class 250-meter long right hander, Kava’s (a fast left ideal for carving), and Bula Bowls (a fun left with a barreling end section).

WATER TEMP: 75 – 86°F (24 – 30°C)

PEAK SURF SEASON: Nov – Apr

SHOULDER SURF SEASON: May – Oct

SURF EXPERIENCE: Best for intermediate to advanced surfers, but there is a small wave out front for beginners
