Leleuvia, a small coral island located south of Ovalau in an area known as the Moturiki Passage, has become known as the perfect place for backpackers. The island is surrounded by clear waters, palm trees and wrapped in 2 kilometres of white beaches.

Things to do

On Leleuvia, they often say, you don't have to do anything. However, if you tire of relaxing on the beach, you can swim in its crystal waters. If feeling slightly more adventurous, visitors can snorkel off of the island, or take a trip to one of the reefs in Moturiki Passage.

In the afternoon, play volleyball, or return to relaxation and watch the sun set with a cold Fiji Bitter. After dinner, join the staff around the Kava bowl (Tanoa) and listen to their Fijian songs, or sit around a bonfire at the beach with friends and watch the stars in a clear sky. You will never want to leave this island.

Uluibau Moturiki

On Sundays, Leleuvia is offering trips to Uluibau on the nearby island of Moturiki, where you'll have the opportunity to join the church service and experience a Sunday in a traditional Fijian village. The singing of the choir is a real treat for the ear and afterwards have lunch.

Getting There

Transport from Suva is by road and sea and takes about two hours. One way fare is FJD$ 30. Transport from Levuka to Leleuvia is FJD$ 20 one-way. Daily transport to the island will be arranged on demand. When in Fiji, make your way to Suva or Levuka and just phone the island to arrange your transport.
