Kaila Na Ua translates into Fijian as the “Roar of the Waves.” Positioned in the middle of the Sunset Strip on Fiji’s Coral Coast, the intimate boutique resort sits where an unassuming attention to detail weaves sophistication into a relaxed, tropical setting. With lush, manicured gardens and expansive views of the Pacific Ocean, it’s a perfect home base for exploring the island or just kicking back and enjoying the view. Resort features: Use of Kayaks, SUP Boards and American-Style bikes Entertainment Room -(Village 6) equipped with DVDs, Family Games and Swap-a-book Barbecue available for cooking meals around the pool area Beach access to the Sunset Beach where there is a rustic seating area to enjoy a bonfire WIFI costs apply

My wife and I stayed for our first couple of nights in Fiji following an extremely long series of flights. They organised our taxi pick up from the airport and welcomed us very warmly on our arrival. We were shown to our lovely ocean view studio and given all sorts of advice for local restaurants and places of interest. The pool area was great and the whole place was very relaxed, exactly what we needed. Most importantly, given the Rugby World Cup final was taking place during our stay, the hosts invited me to join them in their residence to watch it with them. A lovely gesture and they remained hospitable even though the All Blacks were edged out (sorry Warren). Great coffee place a short cycle away (free bikes available) and at least three lovely restaurants within walking distance. This isn't a big flash resort hotel. It is a relaxed, family owned place hosted by lovely people who will do all they can to make your trip enjoyable. Thanks so much Warren, Ros and Team.

We first spotted Kaila Na Ua in December 202 on Sunset Strip in Korotogo, when we were immediately impressed with the beautifully manicured gardens and well designed bures close to the beach frontage. Our next trip to the Coral Coast was soon to be booked!
Roz and Warren welcomed us with a refreshing drink on our arrival and showed us around the property, which has only recently opened following major renovations and delays due to COVID restrictions.
There are four self-contained poolside lodges, each with its own patio and staircase down to the pool area. These lodges are elevated so they have a great view of the ocean. There are several comfortable loungers with parasols located around the pool area and close by is a well-designed barbecue area.
There are two bures set in the lush gardens. Our bure was located closest to the front and parking was available right outside. The accommodation was immaculately clean and fitted out to the highest standard. There is a kitchen area with a gas hob, microwave, fridge, toaster, kettle and plenty of crockery, glassware and utensils. Tea and coffee is provided, and there is also a breakfast option available. The king size bed was very comfortable, and as well as the ceiling fan, the louvres ensured a pleasant sea breeze kept us cool during the night. The bure is airy and spacious. There is an en-suite bathroom and a large sheltered deck area with an ocean view, the perfect spot for breakfast or a sundowner.
Roz and Warren were fantastic hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed spending time with them down on the beach chatting and watching the sunset.
Kayaks are available to borrow, and there is a comfortable entertainment room which also houses a great book exchange. Within walking distance there are lots of options for dining out, and Kali Na Ua is close to many local attractions, such as the Sigatoka Sand Dunes.
Kaila Na Ua is a boutique resort suitable for couples, families or groups of friends. It would also be an amazing venue for a corporate retreat.

Vinaka Julie P for your beautiful words about our resort. It was a pleasure to have you stay-and thank you for choosing us! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We enjoyed having a coffee on the beach watching the tide come in and in the evening watching the Sunset go down with a sundowner or 2! Sote tale (see you again soon) Vinaka Warren and Roz

Tranquil, luxurious and personal, the go to resort if you are wanting a relaxing and comfortable place to chill out in with five-star service and surrounds. The resort is in a great location for grazing amongst the variety of eateries and meters away from the beach where we enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking along the coral reef as well as one or two afternoon aperitifs too. Warren, Rosalind and Shanelle are the friendliest and most welcoming hosts who take absolute pleasure in making sure your stay is everything you need it to be for your paradise experience. When our Stairway to Heaven room was damaged from heavy rain, they were attentive to relocate us and to an upgraded room, what an unexpected surprise!
Looking forward to our next stay at Kaila Na Ua.

We absolutely loved our stay here. This perfect-sized, cosier resort suited us over some of the larger resorts as it was much more tranquil. Location was in great proximity to resturants and bars, plus short drive to the town of Sigatoka. The owners were amazing, the most friendliest couple we had met in Fiji, just beautiful. The rooms were gorgeous with a beautiful morning outlook over the ocean and palm trees. The swimming pool was perfect as the beach was a bit too rocky for swimming comfortably. We would defintely stay here again when we come back to Fiji.

A fantastic boutique hideaway, extremely peaceful and relaxing yet convenient with the airport just an hour's drive away. I stayed in the tree top room which was just wonderful, sights and sounds of the sea and wind in the trees day and night. Lovely private balcony which catches the afternoon sun. There are a couple of wonderful beach shack style restaurants a short walk away and a great coffee shop equidistant in the other direction. Kiwis Rosalind and Warren own and run the place and take exceptional care of the grounds and guests alike. Highly recommended for any trip to this part of Fiji.

Fantastic little boutique resort, wonderful hosts and staff, couldn’t do enough for us. Would definitely come back again. We were there for our wedding anniversary and had done a day trip, upon our return the bottle of champagne we had bought was on ice in a bucket waiting for us along with lovely rose petals and specially crafted swan towels on our bed. Such a beautiful touch.

Short but sweet. We had the most fabulous first couple of days of our holiday here. Small boutique style accommodation,the rooms were spotless, pool clean and inviting and the hosts couldn’t do enough to make sure our stay went well. Full of ideas and recommendations . Snorkelling off the beach from the front of the resort and restaurants within easy reach. Highly recommend

Yes, short but sweet but glad you enjoyed your stay at Kaila Na Ua Resort. Thank you for choosing us-as you say we are small and boutique and a bit of a hidden gem among the big resorts. There must be over 10 restaurants within walking distance of Kaila making you spoilt for choice for lunch and dinner! Vinaka Vakalevu.

From the moment we got there, at mid afternoon..The owners husband & wife team with their only 1 x cleaner staff were waiting to greet us…A big bula smile welcome from them offering a glass each of fruit cocktail juice blended from a variety of local fruits grown from the rich hinter valley of Sigatoka.. After refreshments, our family of 7 including my mum and step dad were shown our 2 x deluxe pool side units..Upon entering our units , all we could smell was the sweet fragrance of fresh flowers, placed on our beds..The fresh bouquet of flowers we figured was plucked from none other than the very bright and colourful gardens surrounding the resort grounds.. The view overlooking the blue ocean front was so magnificent from our rooms.. Sound of waves breaking in the horizon brought me back home. I could not recommend this place enough to anyone looking for the best holiday accomodation in Fiji..Staff were so friendly and caring..Family BBQ’s around the poolside was the highlights in the evenings, to sit there on the pool decking, enjoying our family BBQ with few drinks and watching the sun setting in the horizon..My family of 7 so enjoyed every minute of our stay at the Kaila na Ua resort..We could not ask for more..I would recommend this place to any friends seeking an enjoyable stay in Fiji …A big thank you again to owners Rosalind and Warren and your friendly staff for making our stay so enjoyable..Vinaka!!..

We spent 5 nights in Kaila Na Ua & loved every moment. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. Warren Mel & Shanelle are lovely hosts, they looked after us like a family. We had the pool/ocean view rooms they are perfectly placed on the property & most of our time was spent in the beautiful kabana next to the pool, best seat in the house. The property is ideally placed walking distance to all the local restaurants & with all the facilities like kayaks & TV room. We really enjoyed our stay & looking forward to coming back.

I'd travelled with my family (wife+son) for a 10 day stay at Kaila Na Ua. We had an amazing, memorable and delightful experience staying there. As a property, it's quite serene, calm, a private noise free resort, it's located in the sought after sunset coral coast strip with a beach right in front of the property
so nothing more to expect if you are after an idyllic stay in beautiful fiji
Now as a management, no words to explain the warmth and the hospitality extended to us by Rose and Warren. They were amazing, lovely, family oriented in their service and extremely committed to guests happiness and overall experience
They did a custom booking of all our day-to-day sight seeing trips to different parts of fiji, organised our rent-a car, local bus travel card, came up with ample suggestions on places to visit, eat, shop etc..
We really felt like we were resident fijians, thanks to the suggestions and ideas shared by Rosie and team.
If you are looking for something unique, an experience that's crafted for you. then Kaila na ua should be your choice of destination

So wonderful to have your beautiful family stay at Kaila Na Ua Resort. We watched your son become so much more confident around the resort-running everywhere so he didn't miss out on time with mum and dad and the movie room and what it had to offer! Thank you for choosing Kaila Na Ua Resort for your 10 day stay. It was so lovely watching you chill out for the first few days ...then book day trips to islands and hire a car to go around the island. Great to see you get out and explore Fiji and all it has to offer! Hope to see you again one day...Warren and Roz and the Kaila Team
