More than 20 guests have been evacuated from Nanuya Island Resort in Yasawa as Tropical Cyclone Sarai continues to move closer.

28 guests are still on Nanuya Island Resort and the sister resort, Boat House Nanuya.

This has been confirmed by General Manager Akuila Kula.

Kula says because there are islands that surround the resort, they are sheltered but there has been heavy rain.

Kula says a couple of guests in Homestays in nearby villages moved to their resort this morning.
