Wildlife of Namena Island

Hidden within Fiji’s Bligh Waters, the island sits at the heart of one of the richest marine ecosystems on Earth, protected by over 100 acres of untouched habitat and the legendary Namena Barrier Reef.

Here, nature isn’t a backdrop — it’s the host.

1,000+ documented reef fish species

Over 100 species of corals forming the dragon-shaped reef

Thousands of nesting seabirds that habitat the island

Home to the world-famous Namena Marine Reserve, a no-take zone since 1997

Only 10% of the island is developed — meaning 90% is pure, protected wilderness

Step onto Namena and you enter a world where frigatebirds glide above the canopy, hermit crabs shuffle freely across untouched sands, and the reef below thrums with colour, movement, and ancient life. It’s a place where nature has been allowed to breathe — and where guests rediscover the joy of encountering wildlife in its most authentic form.

This isn’t just biodiversity.
It’s a symphony.
A living, breathing, thriving sanctuary — and you’re invited inside.
