Where to go in Fiji

There are over 300 Fiji Islands, making this South Pacific destination wonderfully diverse and utterly enticing for every type of traveller. However, as each individual island in Fiji has its own personality, sub-culture, environment and attractions to explore, it can be difficult for first-time visitors to know where to start. To help you decide which area or island of Fiji to explore first, we’ve grouped the islands into four main regions, outlining the major attractions of each.

Mamanuca Islands:

Fiji’s Mamanuca Islands are the perfect spot to base yourself for an exciting family holiday. Most of the islands in this region are within an hour’s boat ride from Nadi and feature white sand beaches, coral reefs and green jungle interiors.

You’ll spend your days relaxing poolside while your kids enjoy the many daily activities that the resorts organise. Family day trips to the surrounding islands are also popular – no two islands are the same, and the scenery and activities offered on each differs.

Yasawa Islands:

The Yasawa Islands are a group of pristine, picturesque and unspoilt islands perfect for romantic escapes and honeymooners. A few of the resorts in this region are all-inclusive and adults-only, making them ideal for couples who want to disconnect from the outside world for a few days. When you’re ready to start exploring, you’ll find crystal-clear lagoons, rugged volcanic landscapes and traditional villages.

The North Islands:

If you are chasing authentic cultural experiences then head north to Taveuni and Savusavu, where you’ll find options to suit any budget. This region of Fiji is a bit more rural, with dirt roads, hidden villages, sugarcane plantations and smiling locals. Things move slowly here, so visitors should make sure that they allow plenty of time to explore at a relaxed pace.

In addition to traditional cultural experiences, the northern islands offer visitors a natural wonderland to explore. Taveuni in particular is often referred to as Fiji’s ‘Garden Island’ and features many jaw-dropping views. The Lavena Coastal Walk takes you over a suspension bridge to a series of hidden waterfalls that you will never want to leave.

The South Islands:

If you’re planning on spending more time below the water than above, then head south towards Kadavu. Fiji’s southern islands boast some of the best diving spots in the whole South Pacific region, spotted throughout the Great Astrolabe Reef which is the world’s fourth largest barrier reef.

Many of the resorts in this area are eco-friendly and offer both diving and snorkelling trips out to the reef. When you aren’t exploring the marine wonderland below the surface, there is plenty of hiking and birdwatching to keep you occupied.
