Boutique Sustainable Resort for Yoga, Culture, Water Sports & Memories

Sustainability has been a key priority at Matanivusi from the very start, and has been incorporated into all facets of the resort, from the design to the daily operations. Matanivusi continually strives to refine and increase its level of understanding of sustainability and re-evaluates its sustainability credentials in order to implement improvements where possible.
