The Yasawa Group is an archipelago of about 20 volcanic islands in the Western Division of Fiji, with an approximate total area of 135 square kilometres (52 sq mi).
The Yasawa volcanic group consists of six main islands and numerous smaller islets.
Since the Fijian government lifted the restrictions on land-based tourism in the Yasawa Group, a number of resorts have been established there.
Due to its freehold real-estate status, three budget resorts have been operating on Tavewa island since the early 1980s.
Sea planes from local airlines (like Turtle Airways) make multiple flights to the Yasawa resorts per day, and charters are also available.
