Diving here is world-renowned. The resort operates a fully equipped PADI facility and you can experience some of the world’s premier dive sites, located just off the white sandy shores. Qamea also offers a thoughtful program of adventure and activity, including snorkeling across incredible coral formations, hobie cat sailing or windsurfing, kayaking or stand up paddling, swimming waterfalls, Fijian dancing and kava ceremonies.
The cuisine at Qamea can best be described as South Pacific Rim, which is similar to California Cuisine. The fruits and vegetables are organic, and if not from the Qamea gardens, are flown in three times a week from New Zealand. All of the seafood is local, caught daily by two Qamea fishermen. Beef and poultry is also flown in from Australia and New Zealand.
Qamea’s award winning resort spa is a delight to the senses. An extensive menu of Fijian body therapies and French facial treatments will relax, rejuvenate and renew. Treatments are offered either in the Jungle Spa or the privacy of your Bure. The Qamea spa is a featured finalist in Conde Naste Johansen’s Global Awards for Fiji’s Most Excellent Spa.
Between November and April, Tropicsurf offers an expert guide located onsite. Guests are accompanied to the best breaks by boat not more than 15 minutes away and offered water safety and coaching for all levels of ability. Beginners are welcome to take an instructional course and others can improve their surfing with expert technical coaching.
November to April is the wet season. This explains why the island is incredibly green and lush. It’s hot and humid with regular rainfalls – though rarely does it set in for too long. This is the best time for surfing due to the variable but generally light wind patterns in the north. From May to October the SE trade winds can become very strong and much of the surf along the Qamea coast is onshore and not recommended.
Tropicsurf has partnered with Firewire surfboards to offer a complete quiver of cutting edge eco-friendly boards for guest use. Avoid the hassle of travelling with your board by contacting Tropicsurf in advance of your stay to reserve choice of board; shortboard, fish, hybrid, or longboard. Stand Up Paddleboards are also available.
