The Mamanuca (pronounced Mah-mah-noo-tha) islands are essentially volcanic outcrops pushed up from the ocean floor in a gigantic earthquake thousands of years ago.  They lie in a majestic arc, only a short distance from the mainland of Viti Levu, curving to the north-west, and almost touching the Yasawa chain. There are 13 islands in all, not counting those covered by the Pacific at high tide and they all share in common pristine white sandy beaches, waving palms, crystal blue waters and, at night, the cooling influence of the trade winds.

From the air you can see that the Mamanucas group is in fact two clusters known as Mamanuca-i-ra and Mamanuca-i-cake. Within the Mamanucas is the Malolo group, three miles inside the barrier reef, extending in a curve for about 75 miles.

A number of resort islands are scattered throughout the Malolo group, each offering comfortable casual bure (Fijian style cottage) accommodation, a relaxing holiday atmosphere and a range of water activities. There are boat excursions, fishing trips and water sports including water skiing, wind surfing, snorkelling, diving, sailing, speed boat riding, and coral viewing. Malolo Lailai is the centre for most tourism to and from the Mamanucas. It has safe anchorage, a well equipped and popular marina, a cosmopolitan community of Fijians and Indians and an airstrip serviced regularly from Nadi.

Fiji's 36th Annual Regatta.   If you are planning a trip to Fiji and the Mamanucas during September 2019, you might be lucky to coincide your trip with the annual 36th Fiji Regatta, which takes place 13th-18th September 2019, where more than 100 international yachts and their crews enjoy a week of sailing, competions and fun entertainment.  Based around Malolo Lailai Island, Coral Cay Island and the Musket Cove Resort, this fun regatta's mantra is 'Sail by day, Party by night', and has many fun sailing, watersports, and social events, to which everyone is invited, be you land lubber or salty sea dog!
