Small Hidden Resort
Oneta is a small family run eco-resort on one of the most untouched and beautiful islands in Fiji. It is very remote, it’s a little wild, and it’s somewhat hard to get to – but that’s exactly the point. Our family (Liz, Martin and our two kids Eva and Noah) spent many years traveling the world before finding this amazing spot in the Kadavu Archipelago. Hidden away on an island with no roads we can truly say that it’s one of the few places in the world where you can still find both quiet solitude and true adventure. It is a peaceful and restorative haven for any kind of traveler. It is a home for us, for our incredible staff, and we hope that our guests will consider it their home as well.

A True Fijian Adventure
Oneta is built in an authentic Fijian style and sits on 50 acres of beautiful beachfront property. There are 6 bures (burr-rays) for guests and they are all named after local dive sites and are all a little different. They all have sago palm (thatched) roofs, king beds, en suite bathrooms, and a bamboo enclosed outdoor shower. The resort runs almost entirely on solar power and our water that comes from a spring on the hillside above Oneta is among the best in Fiji.

The Main Lodge
–
The main lodge is the central hang out spot for the resort. It’s got a bar, games, books, and free WIFI and there is always a staff member present to answer any questions you may have. At night we often screen movies there and it’s also where we drink Kava, discuss the adventures of the day, and play guitars. All meals are served family style at the lodge but if you request a private romantic table we can do that too.

An Adventurous Spirit
For those with an adventurous spirit there are many fun activities to do around Oneta and Ono Island. At the resort we have kayaks, paddle boards and a Hobie Cat and we can pack you a lunch and point you in the right direction for secluded beaches, mangrove passages, and other local destinations around the islands. For those with more paddling stamina and we can arrange a longer day trip on outrigger canoes with Paddlefiji. There’s a beautiful hike on the uninhabited island of Vatulutu with spectacular views of the Naiqoro passage, and a more comfortable waterfall hike on Kadavu.

A Beautiful World Underwater

Snorkeling is great around our local reef and even better out at the amazing Astrolabe reef. Giant manta rays frequent a nearby area and several different kinds of whales migrate right by the resort.

A Restorative Haven
For those who just want to rest and take in the restorative beauty of Oneta there are hammocks strategically placed around the property. Our famous “inactivities” include massages, coconut counting, crab spying, bird listening, waving at boats, and occasionally feeding the mosquitos. Also, participation in our daily Oneta staff volleyball game is highly recommended.

A Fisherman’s Paradise
Experienced fishermen who have fished at Oneta call it one of the best places to fish in the South Pacific. If you’re going after GT, Wahoo, Mahimahi, Dogtooth Tuna, or Yellowfin Tuna, they’re all here around the reef. We can advise you which time of year is best for which kind of fish and we can rent whatever equipment that you need including high end fishing gear. But not even the fanciest gear can take the place of a good fishing guide and Oneta has the best. Simeli, a rising star in the fishing world, is hailed as one of the best fishing guides in all of Fiji and among the best GT guides in the world. He will take care of you whether you are experienced or not and while all fishermen know there is never any guarantee that you will catch a fish, Simeli has never disappointed.
Diving the Astrolabe Reef
Diving is another big reason why people come to this area of the world and to Oneta. The Astrolabe Reef is one of the largest reef in the world. It stretches for countless miles around the Kadavu Archipelago. There are fish here that you cannot see anywhere else and hard and soft corals come in all different kinds of colors. John, our Oneta Resort manager, was one of the first divers to explore this area of the world and he named many of the dive sites that are still in use today.
Fun for Families
We would like you to make Oneta your home while you are here. Families are welcome and we have range of activities to entertain your little ones (scouted out by our own 11 year old). Babysitters can also be provided so you’re free to go off on that days adventure.
