Beaches on the island Malolo
The largest island in the Mamanuca
Malolo is the largest island in the group of islands Mamanuca and it is situated quite close to Nadi (hour boat ride), so it is relatively accessible to tourists. But even so there are fortunately no crowds of tourists here. The main reason is that there are only four small resorts located on the southwest side of the island. In addition, they are also quite far from each other and they do not have very big accommodation capacity, There are nice views of the surrounding islands from Malolo, especially on Wadigi island – both from the beach and from the high (considering local conditions) inland hills. The most popular activities on the island are swimming, relaxing in hammock and kayaking. There are several possible kayaking trips – between the resorts, to the abandoned wreck or to the shoal between Malolo and Wadigi. The more adventurous people can go to the opposite island Casteway. continue reading
