The 17 Best Resorts In Fiji For 2024

With a wealth of white sandy beaches, vibrant coral reefs, dramatic mountains, and tropical forests, Fiji’s natural sprawl of over 330 islands is the ideal tropical holiday; the archetypal archipelago. The distorted sense of island time coupled with a plethora of outdoor adventure means Fiji is frequently associated with a genuinely restorative escape from the rat race.

We know you’ve been wanting to pull the trigger on that Fiji holiday for a good while, but don’t go shopping around without first getting across the best resorts in Fiji.

You don’t want to rock up only to find a sub-par base for your holiday, especially since part of Fiji’s appeal is being able to strip away all the bullsh*t and stress of life back home. Relaxing at a resort you’re truly proud to be a guest of is something that could take your Fiji holiday from a 6 to a 10 almost immediately.

That’s why we’ve rounded up a good mix of where to stay if you’re unwilling to compromise on luxury and comfort once you touch down in Fiji. What you’ll find below are our top picks of Fiji’s many luxury and all-inclusive resorts. Whether that’s a family-friendly resort in Nadi or a swanky private island resort accessible only by boat or seaplane.

The Best Resorts In Fiji

1. Six Senses Fiji

Address: Malolo Island, Fiji
Contact: +679 666 5028
Opened In: April 2018
Number Of Rooms: 33

IHG owns and operates a number of hotels across the archipelago, but none are as highly sought after and consistently awarded as the Six Senses Fiji.

A convenient location is part of the appeal. It only takes about an hour to reach Six Senses Fiji from Nadi International Airport, given the property is located on Malolo in the Mamanuca archipelago.

You’ve got an idyllic beachside 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.

Although it’d be hard to leave the room. These 24 pool villas are some of the most well-balanced and attractive accommodations in Fiji, reflecting the brand’s golden reputation for sustainability with raintree wood furniture framed by vaulted ceilings, stylish black-and-white prints and massive beds. It’s a great showcase of sustainable luxury, with everything running on Tesla solar panels.

That calming aesthetic is threaded throughout the resort, from the delicate Pacific tasting menus and modern-Asian food to the long list of complementary activities like yoga, wood-carving, spear-making, private meditation sessions, and tennis.

Six Senses is also one of the closest resorts to the famous Cloud 9, Fiji’s iconic floating bar and quite possibly the number one attraction for anyone looking for something to rival the day-drinking hotspots of Bali.

2. Laucala Island

Address: Northern Lau Islands, Fiji
Contact: +679 888 00 77
Opened In: 2009
Number Of Rooms: 25

Laucala Island is one of the most exclusive private resorts in the world.

Currently owned by Red Bull co-founder and Austrian billionaire Deitrich Mateschitz, who purchased the island in 2003, the high-end luxury resort is one of the only places in the world where guests are offered private use of a $2 million state-of-the-art DeepFlight Super Falcon personal submarine so they can explore the pristine aquatic environment.

The only other is the Four Seasons in the Maldives.

The 3000-acre island is only accessible via private jet, cruising you across the famed coral coast and planting you firmly on the edge of dense jungle forests and perfect white sand beaches. The resort itself has 25 exclusive villas, each with 16 dedicated staff, and a private buggy for exploring the island.

You may be paying a steep price for a night here (around AU$6,817) but everything is included. That’d be all food and drinks, including a cliffside Teppanyaki experience, as well as water sports, boating, spa treatments, child services, golfing on an 18-hold course, yoga, and those aforementioned submarine rides.

There’s plenty to do in the resort itself, but exploring the entire island is the best part. There’s a Water Sports Centre with a fleet of 14 boats for guests, including a Riviera Open Flybridge for game fishing, and traditional Fijian outriggers for sunset cruises, along with various other jet skis and kayaks.

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, and horseback riding.

Clearly, the buggy is included for good reason and you’ll have more than earned that relaxation by the end of the day.

3. Namale Resort

Address: Vanua Levu, 1 Hibiscus Highway, Savusavu, Fiji
Contact: +679 885 0435
Opened In: 2000
Number Of Rooms: 26

Inclusive resorts are a popular choice in Fiji; Namale is easily one of the best of the bunch.

Located on Savusavu with 525 clifftop acres of waterfalls and trails, the long-standing property is considered one of the more exclusive stays thanks to a discreet staff and a rather sprawling, spread-out design that typically requires a golf cart to navigate.

It’s a classic Fiji resort in that sense, just on a larger and more private scale. So if you want to feel like you’re the only person on the island then Namale is a top choice. And if you did want to see other guests, you’d usually find them lazing by the adults-only pool or milling about the fine-dining Fijian restaurant.

4. Shangri-La Yanuca Island Resort

Address: Yanuca Island Coral Coast Fiji Islands, Fiji
Contact: +679 652 0155
Opened In: October 1967
Number Of Rooms: 442

You’ll find Shangri-La Yunuca Island on a 109-acre private island, close to Fiji’s modest urban sprawl yet tucked away in the archipelago’s famously impeccable landscape.

All 442 rooms and suites face the Pacific Ocean so there’s no view-envy going on if you don’t score yourself the ideal room.

It’s worth forking out for the top-notch Reef Suites, which offer up to 82 square metres, or the private Reef Bures, which are located in an adults-only wing with each coming with a complimentary golf cart. And you’ll want the cart to be able to easily dart across the resort’s best amenities, including a 9-hole golf course and Shangri-La’s signature Chi, The Spa.

5. LikuLiku Lagoon Resort

Address: Yaro, Fiji
Contact: +679 666 3344
Opened In: 2007
Number Of Rooms: 45

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 modern-traditional design also incorporates the archipelago’s only authentic overwater bures, which are rustic Fijian huts that have been touched up with natural materials and a swift sense of luxury framed by a protected marine sanctuary. Guests here have direct access to snorkelling and swimming, as well as various other on-water activities that always keep the ecosystem in mind.

Luxury amenities include a full-service day spa, the premium Fijana Restaurant with a focus on local seafood and tropical fruits, and exclusive access to Mociu Private Island, which is only for resort guests to snorkel, picnic, and watch the sunrise, while the Ahura Resorts group (which owns and operates the property) use to expand their constant eco-initiatives.

6. Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort Fiji

Address: Lesiaceva Ppint Road, Savusavu, Fiji
Contact: (03) 9815 0379
Opened In: 1995
Number Of Rooms: 25

Jean-Michel Cousteau is the son of famed French naval officer and explorer Jacques Cousteau, and quite the explorer in his own right. He used the family name to open this luxury five-star resort in Fiji in 1995, an act that got him sued by his own father. They settled out of court, but clearly, Jean-Michel was able to continue using the Cousteau name, which is synonymous with ocean conservation and exploration and wraps the resort in an unmatched legacy.

That legacy is best expressed by one of the property’s key amenities: the Jean-Michel Cousteau Dive Centre, giving resort guests the opportunity to go diving around the Namena reserve sites, join guided snorkel trips and reef walks with a resident marine biologist, and even earn their own PADI certification.

Aside from that, you’ve also got a whole bevvy of paddleboards, catamarans and kayaks to explore the productive lagoon. Although there’s just as much to do on land, including various cultural tours alongside exploring mangroves, pearl farms, and hiking up to hidden waterfalls.

As far as the resort itself. You’ve got 25 deluxe beachfront bures, topped by the Predestian Villa which has its own infinity pool, separate living room, dining pavilion, and a huge master bedroom suite amongst 5 showers, 1 of which is outdoors and overlooks nearby private island Naviavia.

7. Royal Davui Island Resort

Address: Beqa Lagoon
Contact: +61 2 8091 2700
Opened In: 2005
Number Of Rooms: 16

Located near Beqa Island, Royal Davui Island Resort is another award-winning, five-star property perfect for those who aren’t willing to compromise on comfort and luxury. Unlike the slightly larger profile LikuLiku Lagoon Resort, you’ve only got 16 villas here, all sitting on the edge of a rocky hillside and scanning the calm waters for perfect vistas.

It’ll take you around 30 minutes via Pacific Harbour to get here by boat, ferrying you directly into a sea of fine dining and luxury amenities. All rooms come with spa baths, retractable roofs, decks with private plunge pools, and high-end four-poster beds. This is the kind of accommodation even the most hard-to-impress bloke would be bowled over by, with interiors that have clearly been worked to the highest of standards.

Luxury aside, the location near Beqa Island is one of Fiji’s best, with easy access to a great variety of waterfall hikes, traditional villages, and some of the best snorkelling spots of Beqa Lagoon. When that’s all done, there are some of Fiji’s best spa treatments waiting for you back at the resort.

8. Tides Reach Resort

Address: Matei, Fiji
Contact: +1 888 466 0740
Opened In: 2014
Number Of Rooms: 4

Located on Fiji’s third-largest island, Taveuni, Tides Reach Resort sticks out with its South African-inspired design and a minimal aesthetic nicely contrasted against the dense hums of nature that surround the small property.

Only a handful of beachfront villas make up the actual resort, all fitted kitted with spacious king-size beds, Belgium linens and a fascinating blend of art and designer furniture where each and every piece was handpicked by the resort’s South African owner.

Guests aren’t lacking when it comes to things to do and ways to engage with the massive island. Pretty much anything reasonable you can think of is included here, from kayaking and paddleboarding to biking around the island and riding horseback to private beach picnics.

10. Nanuku Resort

Address: 11 Nanuku Drive, Pacific Harbour, Fiji
Contact: +1 855 857 3882
Opened In: 2014
Number Of Rooms: 37

You’ll find Nanuku on Beqa Lagoon by Pacific Harbour, nestled into its own nice little groove on Fiji’s southern coast with pristine vistas all around. You’re only looking at a 1.5-hour drive from Suva, or two hours from Nadi Airport, so Nanuku is very accessible but still feels far-flung enough for a deep sense of privacy and cultural immersion.

Direct access to Pacific Harbour is one of the main reasons you’ll want to rest your head at this highly regarded Fiji luxury resort, with shark drives, zip-lining, whitewater rafting and various cave systems to explore.

The resort only spans 10 acres and features just 18 rooms, all designed with serenity in mind using a lot of natural woods and muted tones. Most of the colour comes from the surrounding tropical gardens, as well as the personality of the staff from the personal butlers and private nannies who are evidently told to treat all guests like family.

11. Kokomo Private Island Fiji

Address: Yaukuve Levu Island, Fiji
Contact: +679 776 4441
Opened In: March 2017
Number Of Rooms: 26

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. With the entire island’s accommodation spanning 21 villas and 5 residences, there’s a genuine sense of escape and privacy at Kokomo that you wouldn’t get at one of the more mainstream resorts lining the edges of Nadi and Suva.

Like most luxury resorts in Fiji, the design expresses traditional Fijian accents through upscale modern comforts and high-end amenities. The bigger plays are the best, so the five expansive residences are the most popular for groups who want to shell in for a few days and let a small army of butlers and nannies take care of every need.

And of course, it is Fiji. And you are on your own island. So you’ve got plenty of kayaking, diving, snorkelling, fishing, cultural tours, and boating to look forward to.

12. Vomo Island Resort

Address: Beachfront Vomo Island, Fiji
Contact: +679 672 7297
Number Of Rooms: 32

If you want to stick close to the famous (and famously volcanic) Namunuca Islands but don’t want to be too far from the mainland, here is your best choice. The island is one of the easiest to access; flying in via helicopter from Nadi is how most guests arrive at the high-end Vomo Island Resort.

Those crystal quartz waters and white sandy beaches are welcoming enough, but the resort has been kitted out with an obvious desire to capture the warmth and hospitality of Fijian culture. Soft design defines just about every corner of this resort, which is made up of 28 villas and private residences all with direct beach access.

Amenities include a gym, the lush Senikai spa, a kid’s village, restaurants, and a new PADI-certified dive centre. Although the most popular amongst guests is the Rock Bar, frequented by celebrities and the well-heeled, overlooking the resort’s own private island, Vomo LaiLai.

Other than that, you’ve got all the best water sports Fiji can offer readily available, best experienced after a night in one of those upper hillside villas that offer incredible 180-degree views over the island and ocean.

13. Malolo Island Resort

Address: Yaro, Fiji
Contact: +679 666 9192
Opened In: October 1975
Number Of Rooms: 46

It’s only a 30-minute drive from Nadi International Airport before you hit Malolo Island, clustered in Fiji’s dramatic Mamanuca archipelago. But that’s a boring way to get to this luxury resort compared to the alternatives: scenic seaplane flights leaving Nadi Airport or private speed boat transfers.

However you choose to arrive at Malolo Island Resort, you’re greeted like family and taken along the interconnected boardwalks to your premium bure, which is dressed in a colonial style balanced nicely with a tropical aesthetic.

You know the deal here. Lush rainforests, fringing coral reefs, white sandy beaches. Malolo Island is quintessential Fiji, so you’ve got all the typical activities to look forward to. The resort is nothing if not a complete luxury experience, from Leilani’s Spa in the middle of the rainforest with open-air treatment rooms to some of the best Fijian food coming with a side serving of a traditional dance show.

14. InterContinental Grand Pacific Hotel Suva

Address: Victoria Parade, Suva, Fiji
Contact: +679 322 2000
Opened In: 1914
Number Of Rooms: 113

If it’s good enough for the British royal family, it’s probably good enough for you.

The Grand Pacific Hotel, a historic building built in 1914, sits on the main seafront along Victoria Parade in the Fijian capital of Suva. Given most of the more convenient hotels in Fiji have absolutely nothing on the private resorts that make up most of this list, Grand Pacific Hotel stands apart as an accessible, centrally-located property that’s actually worth your hard-earned cash.

IHG owns this Fiji luxury hotel, playing heavily on the building’s history and the reverence locals have for the property. The Grand Pacific Hotel, with its head-turning contemporary colonial architecture, even appears on the country’s $10 note, reiterating its status as the pride of Suva.

The rooms themselves are typical of a premium hotel, but the smaller details, like luxury bathroom amenities, are used helps give them a bit of personality to match the grand architecture. Why else would Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II have chosen to visit the hotel 3 times?

15. Sheraton Resort & Spa Tokoriki

Address: Tokoriki Island Mamanuca Islands, Fiji
Contact: +679 666 7707
Number Of Rooms: 101

As the better of the two Sheraton resorts in Fiji, Tokoriki Island is blanketed by the majestic Mamanuca Islands with around 101 guestrooms and suites that include 30 incredibly luxe Tokoriki Retreats. It’s the latter category of rooms you should be going for if you want a nice little bump of affordable luxury.

Tokoriki boasts some of the best white-sand beaches and soft coral reefs in all of Fiji, so Sheraton Tokoriki is a smart choice if you don’t want to drop a fortune and hole up at the resort all day out of a sense of financial obligation.

16. Hilton Fiji Beach Resort & Spa

Address: Denarau Island, Fiji
Contact: +679 675 6800
Opened In: July 2006
Number Of Rooms: 217

There aren’t many resorts near Nadi International Airport that are worth your time if you want some comfortable digs in Fiji. Hilton offers an exception here with Hilton Fiji Resort & Spa one of the best options if you don’t want to stick close to your ride home.

The convenience isn’t a compromise. Hilton has done well to align their Fiji expression with the island’s distorted sense of time, offering plenty of premium amenities complemented by soft design to dial in the idea of island time.

Given it’s just over a 20-minute drive from the airport, the location is one of the best things about the Hilton Fiji. You’re also a short drive from the famous Flavours of Fiji Cooking School and the slightly metropolitan swagger of Port Denarau.

17. Turtle Island Fiji

Address: Turtle Island, Nanuya Levu, Fiji
Contact: +1 800-255-4347
Opened In: 1980
Number Of Rooms: 14

Only 14 couples at a time can come and experience Turtle Island, which is an all-inclusive luxury resort that has been around 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 obviously geared towards honeymooners.

The island has around 14 private beaches, so it’s easy for couples to spread out and feel like they have the entire place to themselves. Not that privacy is entirely unique when it comes to Fiji resorts, but Turtle Island is known as the place to go if seclusion is at the top of your list of demands.
