And finally there is the Port Denarau Marina Complex with its cafes, casual bars, restaurants and shopping outlets. The entire island is serviced by shuttle bus or taxi (set price whilst on the island) guaranteeing guest convenience and variety.

The Marina is the main departure point for launch transfers to the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands, making the Denarau resorts an ideal choice if a pre or post island stay is required.
