Nanuya Lailai

Introducing Nanuya Lailai

This is it folks, home to that celebrity of all the Yasawas' beaches - the Blue Lagoon. Crystalline and glossy, it doesn't disappoint the bevy of swimmers, snorkellers, divers, and people on cruise boats or yachts who dabble in its gorgeous depths. Actually it's not dissimilar to many of the lagoons scattered around the Yasawas, but the protected beach is lovely and the water is achingly lucent. A narrow channel separates it from the larger Nanuya Levu (Turtle Island) to the south. Travellers are advised (by signs and enforced at times by security staff) to stay clear of Nanuya Levu as well as the section of Blue Lagoon beach used by Blue Lagoon Cruises. The settlement of Enadala and several budget resorts reside on the eastern side of Nanuya Lailai, where the beach is deep and choppy. Inland, the island is a mass of gently sloping hills and mangroves.
