The few cooling facilities rely on ice-blocks, which are regenerated while the generators are on. There are three resorts on Tavewa:  All resorts are build in the traditional Fijian bure style. Amenities, such as restaurants and dining halls, are shared and central, making the resorts resemble campuses. Tourist accommodation is either in dormitories or smaller couple- or family-sized bures. There is a scuba-diving school on Tavewa. The island's people support themselves mainly by tourism. In addition to Tavewa residents, the population includes many resort staff who commute from nearby islands in the Yasawa group or from Nadi. The locals live in bures like those at the resorts. Cooking is usually communal, on fireplaces dotted around the bures. Tavewa can be regularly reached either by the Yasawa Flyer ferry or the Turtle Airways seaplane. The vast majority of tourists and supplies arrive on the Yasawa Flyer. It takes the Flyer about four hours to travel between Nadi and Tavewa, with several stops at the island resorts in-between.
