In all, the island offers 15 miles of roadway for hiking and jogging, leading to tropical forests, white beaches and spectacular lookout points. The island’s southern tip is a wildlife sanctuary rich with exotic fauna including feral horses, deer, pigs and goat.

Golf, Tennis and Croquet
The Wakaya Club & Spa has its own 9-hole golf course, a small but challenging course with dazzling views of Homestead Bay as it meanders through a 19th century copra plantation. Our Wimbledon-Tex surfaced tennis court is lighted for play during evening hours. The Wakaya Club & Spa pro will be happy to give lessons or participate with you.
Our David Niven Croquet Court is adjacent to the tennis court. We will be happy to instruct you in the rules of the game, for your enjoyment. Equipment for golf, tennis and croquet, including clubs, racquets, mallets and balls, is available at the Sports Bure.
With so few people on the island, court times and tee times are wide open. When would you like to play?

For Group Picnics, The Wakaya Club & Spa staff will prepare a barbecue lunch on the beach for you and other guests.

Water Activities

You are standing on the beach, toes lost in warm white sand. Between you and the horizon lies a symphony of azure, lapis, indigo, aquamarine, robin’s egg, sapphire and tropical sky blue—and the brighter the sun shines, the richer the palette becomes. The waters of Wakaya hold a trove of treasures for you to discover, a parallel universe full of beautiful surprises.

The Wakaya barrier reef is a protected ecosystem teeming with life and color. Years ago, we took steps to preserve the integrity of the entire reef system in front of The Wakaya Club & Spa by making it a marine reserve. As a result, you can observe a rich variety of Fijian marine life simply by wading into the water in front of your bure. The water is warm, the waves are small and there’s much to enjoy, from small, colorful reef fish to the occasional brilliant starfish.

Our water activities include:

• Scuba diving and Snorkeling
• Fishing, Reef Viewing and Swimming
• Sea Kayaking and Glass Bottom Boat Tours

Scuba Diving and Snorkeling

There is no better way to discover Wakaya than by venturing into "the blue." Your room rate includes two one-tank dives per person per day and all equipment. Enhanced by the able assistance and good company of The Wakaya Club & Spa staff who call these waters home, certified scuba divers can explore more than a dozen outstanding dive sites just minutes from the Marina. For non-certified divers, we have a selection of scuba courses so you may become certified here on Wakaya. Snorkeling is excellent right in front of your bure or at any of the dive sites. All arrangements may be made through our staff at the Reception Bure.

Fishing, Reef Viewing and Swimming
Wakaya offers fishing for everyone, from the challenge of reef casting and the tranquility of handline fishing, to the thrill of deep-sea fishing. Please contact us for information on excursions and charter rates.
Wakaya is blessed with several excellent swimming beaches, the most notable being Homestead Bay. For your pleasure there is also a freshwater pool beside the Palm Grove Restaurant deck.

Sea Kayaking and Glass Bottom Boat Tours
Sea kayaking is an excellent way to see the waters around Wakaya and get some exercise at the same time. Another way to discover the reef's spectacular marine life at close range is to take a tour on our glass-bottom boat (included in your daily rate).

Your time on Wakaya should be a seamless experience, culminating in a heightened sense of well-being. The Wakaya Club & Spa is a retreat for mind, body and soul — an exclusive pristine island hideaway. This is a totally natural environment where every breath is clean and clear, every bite fresh and organic, every whim fulfilled.

Breeze is a couple’s spa replete with a body-temperature salt water, water shiatsu/plunge pool, overlooking an azure lagoon. Breeze has been designed especially with you in mind, as the ultimate venue for restorative pampering. We offer the most sensational massages ever, utilizing a hybrid Shiatsu/Swedish technique.
