South of Viti Levu and west of Beqa Lagoon lies the idyllic low-lying island of Vatulele. 

Vatulele is only 13km long, and covered with rainforest. A barrier reef forms a lagoon on the eastern and northern ends, and there is good fishing and diving. There are four villages subsist largely on farming and fishing, and the island is a major producer of traditional masi, or tapa cloth. Vatulele is famous for its archaelogical sites, which include ancient rock paintings of faces and stencilled hands, and for its limestone caves and pools, which are home to the bright red prawns held sacred by the islanders. 

Vatulele's sole accommodation is an exclusive resort – one of Fiji's best. Activities on the island include fishing, diving, snorkelling, cave visits, bushwalks and kayaking. The resort charters a seaplane from Nadi for guests.
