From adventure to indulgence, discover the art of escaping with the perfect Fiji holiday for every traveller
The best holidays don’t come with three layovers and a day lost to airports. They’re the ones where a refreshing drink is never far from hand and the sand follows you wherever you go. For barefoot evening walks, jungle adventures, private islands, and seafood fresh from the ocean, Fiji is a near-perfect escape— just three hours from Auckland, but it could be worlds away. Whether you chase thrills, savour indulgence, or simply plan your days around extraordinary food, Fiji offers a slice of paradise for every kind of traveller.
For The Luxury Traveller...
VOMO Island isn’t a place you visit casually; it’s a destination you reserve for something truly special. Within its Residence Collection, Totoka Residence—the newest three-bedroom villa— feels like a private world, perfect for friends, family, or a secluded couple’s retreat. Found at the foot of the Yasawa Islands, VOMO is about more than elegant rooms: imagine sunrise yoga, hydrofoil boarding at lunch, and private spa treatments in the afternoon. Equally alluring is Likuliku Lagoon Resort in the Mamanucas, Fiji’s only resort with overwater bures. Adults-only and exquisitely serene, it’s a sanctuary for intentional solitude. Its fine-dining flagship, Saluwaki Restaurant, makes a compelling case for a visit on its own.
For the Adventure Seeker...
If you’d rather leap off a cliff than lounge by a pool, Pacific Harbour—the adrenaline capital of Fiji—is calling. Here, the landscape is as photogenic as it is thrilling: shark dives, river safaris, jungle zip lines, and white-water rafting are all on the menu. For convenience, both InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa and Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort offer a comfortable base close to the action. Prefer to be central? Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa in Denarau puts you steps from Port Denarau and an array of ocean adventures, from Sabre Sailing and Malamala Beach Club to the very well chartered floating bar, Cloud Nine. For a change of pace, an inland e-bike tour offers one of the most scenic ways to explore the island.
For the Serious Foodie...
Fiji’s culinary scene is quietly pretty exceptional. For long, leisurely lunches that stretch into a tropical sunset, Cellar & Barrel at Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort is a standout. If smoked BBQ with a local twist appeals, Vasaqa Fiji delivers, while Vavavi offers cooking classes that immerse you in the traditions of Fijian cuisine. Crab Shack, just a stroll from the Outrigger, pairs a casual beachside setting with excellent seafood. For a truly elevated experience, Fish Bar at Marriott Momi Bay takes every bite to the next level, with salt pairings that transform each dish.
For the Ultimate Relaxer...
For some, the perfect holiday is simply nap, massage, swim, repeat. Yasawa Island Resort & Spa delivers just that, with 18 bungalows, eleven private beaches, and hardly a soul in sight. Everything is included, making it effortless to truly switch off. If you prefer something slightly less
remote but just as tranquil, Lomani Island Resort & Spa is adults-only and has unveiled a new wellness complex designed for complete relaxation. Expect slow mornings, deep-tissue treatments, gentle stretches, and oceanside lounging—because sometimes doing nothing is exactly what you need.
