Yasawa and Mamanuca Islands, Fiji

Chains of volcanic islands west of Viti Levu, with white beaches, coral reefs and resorts from backpacker to luxury. The Yasawa Flyer catamaran from Port Denarau hops between them. Snorkel with manta rays at Drawaqa from May to October.

Cloud 9, a floating bar, and Monuriki, where Cast Away was filmed, are in the Mamanucas.
