The Best Resorts In Fiji

With its endless sandy white beaches, jewel-like coral reefs, majestic mountains, and tropical forests, the 330-island archipelago that is Fiji makes for an ideal getaway. Beyond its spectacular natural beauty and proximity to us in Australia, Fiji is also home to some of the best tropical resorts in the world.

A paradise for both leisurely holidaymakers and those who crave constant outdoor adventure, it’s wholly unsurprising that, over the past decade, Fiji has developed a reputation among travellers as the ultimate getaway destination in the South Pacific.

So if you’ve probably been wanting to pull the trigger on a tropical holiday for a while, we’ve compiled a shortlist of the best resorts in Fiji to make the decision that little bit easier. Let’s get into it.

Tokoriki Island Resort, Nadi

After winning dozens of different awards in the last decade, Tokoriki Island Resort is proudly Fiji’s most awarded adults-only boutique luxury island resort. Located on the eponymous island in Fiji’s Mamanuca chain, it’s accessible via a 15-minute helicopter ride from Nadi International Airport, and is the smaller and more exclusive of the two luxury resorts on Tokoriki.

Those handful of guests fortunate enough to secure a booking here may choose between 33 accommodations, including Tokoriki’s eight signature beachside bures, which offer a fusion of Fijian heritage and modern-day creature comforts.

Expect all of the usual talking points, such as multiple private dining options, a PADI diving centre and all-inclusive activities. The property’s splash zones, including a pristine 25-metre infinity pool, are a great way to while away the day.

Six Senses Fiji, Malolo Island

IHG owns and operates several hotels across the archipelago, but none as consistent or as highly sought-after as Six Senses Fiji. A convenient location is part of the appeal – located on Malolo in the Mamanuca archipelago, it only takes about an hour to reach the property from Nadi International Airport.

You’ve got an idyllic beachfront location, two full-service marinas, several eco-facilities, a luxury spa, and the resort’s very own cooking school to help keep you out of your villa. The hotel’s 24 pool villas are some of the most attractive accommodations in Fiji, reflecting the brand’s commitment to sustainability.

Six Senses’ quieting in-room aesthetic is threaded through the resort, including in the hotel’s multiple eateries. For activity lovers, there’s a laundry list of stuff to busy yourself with, including yoga, spear-making, tennis, and meditation, while the property is also within paddling distance of Cloud 9, Fiji’s most popular floating bar & event space.

COMO Laucala Island, Northern Lau Islands

It’s no exaggeration to call COMO Laucala Island one of the most exclusive private resorts in the world. Famously owned by Red Bull co-founder and Austrian billionaire Dietrich Mateschitz (who purchased the island in 2003), the high-end luxury resort promises an unforgettable stay from the moment you set foot on its white-sand beach.

The 3000-acre island can only be accessed via private plane, with your approach marked by coastal coral and the dense canopies of tropical jungle forests. Around the resort itself, you’ll be accommodated in one of 25 exclusive villas that range from 800 to 8,000 square meters in size.

Predictably, this kind of scale does not come cheaply: at the time of writing, there is a minimum 4-night stay at a daily rate that begins at $6,100. That said, this price tag is all-inclusive, covering everything from dining and drinking to the various aquatic activities you and your group might want to partake in during your stay.

A PADI-certified Dive Centre is on-site for anyone who wants to get up close with marine life like hawksbill turtles and angelfish. Then you’ve got tropical rainforest walking tours, visits to a private farm, horseback riding, and much more.

Namale Resort, Savusavu

All-inclusive resorts are a fixture in Fiji, and when it comes to the very best, Namale is a name that that comes up often. Located on the island of Savusavu with 525 elevated acres of waterfalls and trails, this established property is considered one of the more exclusive stays in Fiji thanks to a high calibre of service and a layout so palatial that navigating it with a buggy is nothing short of essential.

In that sense, Namale is peak Fiji – just on a scale that is somehow simultaneously bigger yet more personable than at most of the competition. If you’re in the mood to mingle with your fellow guests, you’ll find the lion’s share of them at Main Bure, the hotel’s fine dining destination, or either of the two full-size adult-only pools.

Shangri-La Yanuca Island Resort, Coral Coast Fiji Islands

You’ll find Shangri-La Yunuca Island on a 109-acre private island, sufficiently close to Fiji’s modest urban sprawl yet tucked away in the archipelago’s pristine natural landscape. Impressively, each of the property’s 442 rooms and suites faces the Pacific Ocean, but if you’re after a space that’s a cut above the rest, make sure to book one of the Reef Suites of the Reef Bures.

Trust us when we say that the cart is essential, because you’ll need it to navigate the resort’s sprawling grounds, shuttling between such popular facilities as Golden Cowrie (the hotel’s coastal Italian eatery), Shangri-La’s signature Chi Spa, and even the nine-hole golf course.

Likuliku Lagoon Resort, Yaro

Located on the edge of Malolo Island in the Mamanuca archipelago, the highly regarded Likuliku Lagoon Resort is a short boat ride from Nadi and an easy pick if you want a no-expense-spared Fijian getaway. The resort’s design also incorporates Fiji’s only authentic overwater bures, providing guests with rustic Fijian huts that have been dressed in natural materials and luxury polish, and all against the backdrop of a protected marine sanctuary.

Guests here are within literal jumping distance of snorkelling and swimming, as well as various other on-water activities that spotlight Malolo’s surrounding ecosystem. Some of our favourite amenities include a full-service day spa, the premium Fijana Restaurant and best of all, exclusive access to Mociu Private Island, which is reserved for resort guests to snorkel, picnic, and watch the sunrise.

Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort Fiji, Savusavu

Named for Jean-Michel Cousteau, the son of famed French aquanaut Jacques Cousteau (and also an explorer in his own right), this exclusive 5-star resort opened in 1995 and consists of 25 waterfront bures.

Unsurprisingly, eco-luxury is the name of the game at Jean-Michel Cousteau. The resort’s eponymous Dive Centre allows guests to go diving around the nearby Namena reserve sites. There are also guided tours hosted by the hotel’s resident marine biologist, as well as the chance for guests to get their own PADI certification.

Aside from that, you’ve also got a whole bevvy of paddleboards, catamarans, and kayaks to go exploring in. However, for those who prefer to keep their feet on dry land, there are also a few options to explore the island, specifically around the local mangroves, pearl farms, and waterfalls.

Nanuku Resort, Pacific Harbour

Nanuku is located on Beqa Lagoon by the Pacific Harbour, tucked into its own diminutive groove on Fiji’s southern coast and surrounded by pristine vistas on all sides. In terms of accessibility, it’s a 90-minute drive from Suva, or two hours from Fiji’s main international airport at Nadi, hitting the sweet spot between being far-flung enough to offer a sense of privacy and close enough to get to without a worry.

Access to the myriad attractions of Pacific Harbour is the main reason you’ll want to hunker down at Nanuku. The hotel is able to organise shark dives, zip-lining, whitewater rafting and a variety of spelunking activities depending on what niche you prefer to explore.

In contrast to numerous other Fiji resorts on our list, this property is set across a relatively compact 10 acres, with all 18 of the hotel’s rooms designed with serenity in mind. In particular, the Nanuku Villas, which all have beachfront access and a minimum footprint of 84 square meters.

Kokomo Private Island Fiji, Yaukuve Levu Island

If you and your mates have $88,000 a night to spare, the ultimate Fiji luxury holiday idea is a no-brainer: rent Kokomo Private Island. For those with slightly more modest ambitions, take note of the three-night minimum stay, with smaller villas starting at the $3,900 mark.

With the entire island’s accommodation spanning 21 villas and 5 residences, there’s a genuine sense of seclusion at Kokomo that you’re unlikely to find with more mainstream resorts clustered around Nadi and Suva. Like most luxury resorts in Fiji, the design mingles traditional Fijian accents with state-of-the-art modern comforts and high-end amenities.

The bigger plays are the best, so the five expansive residences are the most popular for large groups who want to hunker down for a few days and let a small army of butlers attend to their every need. And of course, this being Fiji, kayaking, diving, snorkelling, fishing, cultural tours, and boating are all activities you can (and indeed should) indulge in.

Vomo Island Resort, Vomo Island

For travellers who want to be situated close to the famous (and famously volcanic) Namunuca Islands but don’t want to be too far from the mainland, Vomo is an excellent choice. Getting here is part of the charm, with most guests opting for arrival via helicopter transfer from Nadi.

As if calm turquoise waters and white sandy beaches weren’t welcoming enough, the resort has also been conceived with the traditional warmth and hospitality of Fijian culture in mind. A tranquil aesthetic pervades the majority of the property, which is made up of 28 villas and private residences and all with direct beach access.

Amenities include a gym, the lush Senikai spa, a kids’ village, two signature restaurants, and a new PADI-certified dive centre. Other than that, you’ve got all the best water sports Fiji can offer.

Turtle Island Fiji, Nanuya Levu

Only 14 couples at a time can come and experience Turtle Island, the all-inclusive luxury resort that has been welcoming guests since 1980. The entirely sustainable, solar-powered resort sits on 500 acres of privately owned land, offering up some of Fiji’s most pristine nature along with private beachfront villas that are designed with a sense of cultural immersion and are, clearly, a favourite of the honeymooning set.

The island has around 12 private beaches, so it’s easy for guests to fan out and relax like they have the entire place to themselves. Of course, a high degree of privacy is something that you’d expect from any true world-class Fijian resort, but Turtle Island is known as the place to go if seclusion is a priority.
