Barefoot Kuata Island Resort is known for its friendly hospitality, superb location, and warm waters. Boarding from Port Denarau, you will cruise for 1 hour and 45 minutes past the stunning Mamanuca Islands en route to the southern end of the Yasawa Islands where the delights of your island paradise await you.

  • One of the best experiences I've had in a long time. The island was beautiful, super friendly staff always ready to help. Snorkeling and kayak equipment were complimentary. The food was great, and the infinity pool was something I'd never experienced. Highly recommended!
