Why Choose Tambua Sands?

  • Beachfront & Garden Bures: Only 25 free-standing bures mean uncrowded beaches and personal space.
  • Plastic-Free Commitment: No single-use plastics on site—expect glass water bottles, metal straws, and compostable amenities.
  • Coral Coast Location: Snorkel the Coral Coast reefs straight off the shore or explore the nearby Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park.

Eco Highlight

Tambua Sands removes an estimated 10,000+ plastic bottles from its waste stream each year by bottling filtered rainwater on site. Join a mangrove nursery tour to support coastal conservation.

What to Expect During Your Stay

Life slows down here. Start the morning with yoga on the deck, kayak above crystal reefs, or join a village pottery making session to understand Fijian culture firsthand.

  • Dining: Farm-to-table menus feature organic produce from the Sigatoka Valley Market and fresh seafood from local fishers.
  • Activities: Complimentary snorkel gear, stand-up paddleboards, and weekly tree-planting sessions for guests.
  • Connectivity: Limited Wi-Fi encourages digital detox; plan accordingly for your stay.

Practical Tip

Pack reef-safe sunscreen and a reusable water bottle. The resort provides refill stations, but glass bottles can be heavy for day trips.
