A chain of 20 volcanic isles north-east of the mainland of Viti Levu, Fiji’s Yasawa Islands are famous for white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. From luxury bures to backpacker dorms, there’s accommodation for every budget and it’s easy to get there. After hopping off my Fiji Airways flight to Nadi, I taxi the 10km to Denarau Marina and jump aboard the Yasawa Flyer, a speedy catamaran that connects each island and can be booked via Awesome Adventures Fiji.
