Vatia Beach Eco Resort

Vatia Beach Eco Resort is an eco-tourism gem on the Sun Coast, in northern Viti Levu; Fiji's main island.

This boutique resort - which has been in operation since the 1970s - came under new ownership in April 2014 when a Spaniard trio who were living in Australia, left everything behind to pursue their dream of running a sustainable resort in Fiji. Vatia is situated on a stunning white sandy beach on a secluded peninsula that gets some of the best sunsets on the island!

The aim of the project is to boost the tourism in a responsible manner, giving the priority to our peoples and the environment. The main concept is to design and develop wonderful functional spaces whilst maintaining the surroundings as they were found initially.

There are different skill sets we are looking for like:

- Farming (Permaculture, Aquaponics)
- Gardening
- Solar Energy
- Handyman Work (Plumbers, Carpenters, Roofers, etc.)
- Photography
- Video Making
- Social Media
- Administration
- PR and Marketing

Volunteers are welcome to have free accommodation, in exchange for two weeks helping us out with the project. If this is something you would like to get involved, please get in touch with us.

IMPORTANT: Fiji Immigration is getting rough with volunteer assistance, they want to boost local work that means that volunteers have to follow three steps on their arrival:

1. Have a flight out of Fiji within the next three months after their arrival
2. Tick "other" or "voluntarism" in their arrival card
3. Volunteer for no more than two weeks

We will send you a confirmation with a letter to inform you about all these steps. If you are planning to stay longer or you want to help us out for three months, further arrangements can be done. We will cover immigration expenses.

This is a great opportunity to start this new project from the very beginning with us and co-create an amazing place to come hang out, relax and disconnect from everything else which we believe is what we all need from time to time!!

Of course you will have the chance to learn about the Fijian traditions and get a better understanding of their beautiful culture. Visits to local villages and other exotic places will be arranged. There are also plenty of activities that can be done at Vatia like kayak, volleyball or bike riding. We love to have fun!!
