If you came to this page, you are looking for an experience close to the people of the Yasawa islands. You will find it here much more than at any resort. You will stay at a single house with 3 rooms, no other houses or hotels nearby with which to share the beach. The lovely people of the house will take you on many adventures, from visiting the local village where some of them live to the famous Sawa-I-Lau Caves. We even had the fortune to assist the first instalment of a yearly rugby tournament to which teams from all over and even the main island joined. A big shout out to Chef Sai who everyday whipped up from scratch very tasty and varied meals. She's the motherly figure of the house. Many of the ingredients are locally grown in the garden or sourced from the sea nearby. There is internet and it was workable most of the time, weaker on cloudy days, keeping in mind that you are on an island with little infrastructure. Overall, we loved our stay here. It was everything we expected and more!

Amazing blue, warm water to swim and snorkel. Snorkeling on the coral on the beach. The food was very good and the people are wonderful. Just perfect

Perfect place to relax. Service and staff were perfect, the bure is just in front of the beach and the atmosphere is very chill. I wish I could have stayed longer.

The host Vilise was making you feel at home. He makes the best icecream from fresh fruit! Delicious 100%. He is also an excellent cook. Walking to the other side of the island over different paths, gave an exploring feel! I’m delightful I have experienced his place.

We absolutely loved our stay at Mai sunset resort! We had previously stayed at Barefoot Manta and Barefoot Kuata and Mai sunset was the best place we stayed at during our week holiday. The staff were wonderful, all so welcoming and friendly and we felt that they did everything they could to make our stay as great as possible. We arranged a local village tour and as the staff at the resort lived in the village, they took us there, showed us around, introduced us to their families and even made us some tea and homemade roti, it was amazing! Thank you Ili and Peter for a fantastic experience! The food at the resort was so tasty. On our first evening we were treated to a fijian lovo (underground oven) and they prepared delicious fish and chicken with kasava and salad. Unlike a lot of other local resorts there was no buffet and we could actually choose what we wanted to eat from a menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner which felt like a real treat! The resort was so quiet and peaceful, and our bure felt like being in a 5 star hotel! We felt so relaxed from day 1 and there were only 8 other guests staying at the resort during our time there who we got to know really well by the end of our stay, everyone seemed happy to be there and it led to a really positive atmosphere, something we hadn't experienced elsewhere. Joelle, the boat captain took us on out on the boat so we could snorkel in the nearby coral for free which was so kind, and we also arranged a trip to the Sawa-i-lau caves on our final day which Joelle and Peter ensured worked out timing wise with the Yasawa flyer. Overall, we had the most amazing time staying at Mai Sunset and can't recommend staying here enough! Thank you so much to Paul, Liti, Peter, Joelle, Ili, Peci, Fane, and Ane, Sota Tale!

That it was real, un-glossy insight into Fiji village life today.

Everything is very well prepare and the place is wonderful.

I loved everything! The owners of the place were very kind and they prepared delicious food for us. The beach in front of this place has huge and amazing coral. We were very lucky because we were the only guest in this place

This not a resort, this is more homestays, we stay for 6 night, we are a slow travelers. It was just everything that were needed the Food, reef and people we amazing. We already miss Korovou. If you are looking for a cocktail on a fine resort go to different place, but if you are in Fiji for Fiji stay there.

Most welcoming and friendly family and very authentic village! Really good food and a lot, they even cooked vegetarian for me! Nice activities, it never gets boring. The beach is beautiful too. Small room but comfy bed with mosquito net. We would have loved to stay longer. Thank you very much Silo, Bill, Va and Rob for making our stay great! Extra info because it’s one of the first reviews: We got picked up from the ferry by boat (extra cost), very good food provided for 50FJD/day per person, bathroom simple with bucket toilet and shower in a little shelter next door, no supermarket in the village so bring what you need (mosquito repellent and sun screen!). Solar panels provide power through the day and lights, but no fan (was not too hot for us). Covering clothes and no hats/sunglasses while walking the village, beach is fine :) Bringing a gift to the chief of the village is also part of etiquette.
