Resort Description

Viani Bay Resort, the closest 5* PADI Dive and Freediving Center to Fiji's Rainbow Reef, offers an intimate dive experience with small groups of four divers per boat.

With over 30 dive sites, including the Great White Wall accessible nearly daily, divers enjoy personalized adventures in one of Fiji’s premier locations.

Eco-friendly beach bungalows provide ocean views, open-air showers, and spacious verandas. Guests savor fresh Fijian cuisine made from local ingredients and can explore conservation projects or cultural excursions. The resort’s natural setting suits guests looking for stargazing, bonfires, and a slower pace, rather than nightlife.

Contrary to myth, the Great White Wall is diveable nearly every day, thanks to flexible scheduling based on tides and moon phases. This unique access ensures a memorable, quality dive experience.
