Who fits where at Yasawa Island Resort & Spa
All 4 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.
| Suite | Occupancy | Bedrooms | Aspect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bure Suite | Sleeps 2 | 1 bedroom | Ocean view |
| Deluxe Beachfront Bure | Sleeps 2 | 1 bedroom | Beachfront |
| 2-Bedroom Bure | Sleeps 6 | 2 bedrooms | Ocean view2 baths |
| Lomalagi Bure | Sleeps 2 | 1 bedroom | Beachfrontprivate pool |
Occupancy is the maximum published occupancy including rollaways, not comfortable occupancy. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.

Before you book
Seven things the research turned up about Yasawa Island Resort & Spa that the brochure does not say.
Yasawa Island Resort & Spa is an intimate 18-bure Fiji escape built for privacy, romance and disconnection.
The base official all-inclusive includes meals, snacks, non-alcoholic drinks and scheduled activities, but alcohol is extra or packaged separately.
It is intentionally poor for remote work: bures are TV- and Wi-Fi-free.
Hidden tips
Book Lomalagi Bure for the most private pool-villa experience.
Confirm alcohol package pricing before arrival.
Do not book during Family Weeks if you want a strictly adults-only atmosphere.
Things guests wish they had known
This is a luxury disconnect-and-romance resort, not a connected, nightlife-heavy or work-friendly resort.

Fiji travel discussions describe Yasawa as a beautiful high-end private-island style option, but resort-specific Reddit coverage is thinner than major Caribbean properties.
