Highly recommended ! I loved my stay at Malakati Village Beach House! The village is so beautiful and very different from other ones in Yasawa islands. People are super nice, food was served in front the ocean with the view. Locals help tourists to enjoy the stay, they took me for a hike on the hill, from where you can see amazing views. I attended the church service, which was very interesting and kava ceremony at the chef’s house! Plenty of activities, but also possible to enjoy the serenity and the beach , as not many tourists at the same time. The blue house is super accommodating with 3 beds and private bathroom. They provide cole for the mosquitoes, which is very important for a good night sleep. 💤

This place is a gem! We were welcomed so warmly into the village, and got to meet and chat with so many people. This was the first thing we did in the Yasawa Islands, and it was a great place to stay to learn about Fijian culture before moving onto some of the more mainstream resorts. Getting to visit different homes was incredible, and the food was SO delicious - thank you so much to everyone! And finally, how could I not mention the beach? Idyllic! You'll be off-grid, though, so make sure to bring a few good books!

Loved the location, loved the freedom to spend our days as we wanted. Enjoyed being able to book extra trips- the caves and a hike.

This is the perfect place if you want an authentic Fijian experience! I was the only foreigner in the village. Do this only if you want an authentic experience! It’s not like going to a touristy island. I had excellent home cooked meals and mingled with the locals. It was also very relaxing staying right in front of a beautiful beach!

Staying in Malakati was an exceptional experience. Locals are incredibly welcoming, kind, and helpful. Families took turns in preparing delicious fresh meals 3 times a day. There are many opportunities to explore the island and surrounding areas such as caves, snorkeling, diving, fishing, and hiking as well as learn about Fijian culture. I would recommend this picturesque village for real travelers who are ready to experience Fijian everyday life. I am hoping to return soon.

It was an amazing experience for our family! The location and the beach and bay are simply stunning. The village people are very welcoming and super nice. Lots of „Bula!“ wherever you see someone. The kids a curious and happy to show you around. The water is superb for swimming and playing around in. We loved the different dog characters hanging out at the beach - all very friendly. You pay your „entrance“ fee and that‘s it, you are guests of the community instead of feeling like customers - the concept works really well and seems fair for everyone. It is simple, as that‘s what village life in the Yasawas is, but if you‘re somewhat open minded and up for trading some less comfort for having a unique and closer-to-authentic experience then this is for you. The hike up to the ridgeline in the early morning was fantastic. Amazing views and some village children and dogs as good company. We just loved it!

A wonderful place. When you stay here you become part of village life, eating with a different family for each meal in their homes. The food prepared was delicious. As much as you want to eat- fresh fish, papaya, mango, rice and dahl. Big breakfasts that were delicious. As a solo traveller it was perfect as I got to talk to so many people and learn about village life. The children are a joy to talk to. We sang together a lot and watching them play on the beach was all the entertainment needed! You can donate to the village school also. Everyone was so friendly and happy and it is a stunning location. Take a hike up the nearby mountain for a great view of all the islands.
