Homestays in Drawaqa Island

What a wonderful and memorable stay in a traditional Fijian village. We liked it so much that we ended up staying in Soso village for a month. Silo, Bill, Va, Rob, Simi, Luisa and Iki, we will never forget the great time we had with you. You took good care of us, prepared extra food for the children and helped us when they got sick. As for the village. The people are very friendly, with a lot of children, so our kids made friends instantly. The beach in front of the village is beautiful, with a nice healthy reef to snorkel and there are some nice hikes with spectacular views over all of the Tasawas. As there is no light pollution, stargazing is breathtaking and the manta ray passage is just around the corner. The accommodation is very basic with a bucket shower and no-flush-toilet, but the beds are comfortable and the food is great. Note that the water available is rain water, so if you want to go safe, bring your own bottled water (or aqua-tabs) from the mainland because there are no real shops on the island. Also, you should wear a Sulu (Sarong) around the village and in church, men too. And it’s expected that you bring a kava root (worth 20 FJ$) and/or some money to present to the chief of the village when you arrive.

It was amazing. Me and my friends went there for 3 days, we lived some days in paradise. It was a full wild experience. If you want to live some days in the nature you have to go there. The staff was AMAZING so kind. I want to come back

I think this is just one of the best places I ve been. Hospitality, location and new clean rooms. Thanks for this great memory

Jolame and Maria are amazing!!! They hosted us with all the love The room Was comfortable . The best experience you can get of a real Fiji life!! The food was amazing and the village people are the best. The best place you can go

Family was amazing. Food was amazing. Remote location was amazing. Beautifully authentic experience, that will long live on in our memory. Was such an honour to connect with the host family, play with the kids, and be so warmly welcomed into the village community. I hope all who come be sure to give presence and thanks to the land and its people. It is a rare and special thing to be able to live so simply in this untouched and untainted way -- this is the first and only homestay in Soso Bay (largest village in the Yasawas). Wow, wow, wow. We miss it already!
