The Best Resorts In Fiji

Tokoriki Island Resort

Awarded the coveted title of #1 hotel in the South Pacific earlier this year (courtesy of Travel + Leisure), Tokoriki is the much-lauded adults-only resort that takes its name from the eponymous island in Fiji’s Mamanuca chain.

A 15-minute helicopter ride from Nadi International Airport, this is the smaller — and frankly, more exclusive — of two luxury resorts on Tokoriki (the other being operated by American chain hotelier Sheraton). Expect all of the usual talking points, such as multiple private dining options, a PADI diving centre and all-inclusive activities.

Those handful of guests fortunate enough to secure a booking here may choose between 33 accommodations, including Tokoriki’s 8 signature beachside bures: a fusion of Fijian heritage and modern-day creature comfort.

The property’s splash zones, including a pristine 25-metre infinity pool, are a great way to while away the day. And once you tire of tanning? Unlimited massages — capped at a maximum individual duration of 60 minutes — await. Sheer bliss.

Six Senses Fiji

IHG owns and operates a number of hotels across the archipelago, but none as consistent nor highly sought-after as Six Senses Fiji.

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

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.

That said, it’s ever so tempting to keep the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on for the duration of your stay. The hotel’s 24 pool villas are some of the most attractive accommodations in Fiji, reflecting the brand’s commitment to sustainability (all in-room facilities run off of Tesla solar panels).

Six Senses’ quieting in-room aesthetic is threaded through the resort, including in the hotel’s multiple eateries. For inveterate activity lovers, there’s a laundry list of stuff to busy yourself with: including yoga, spear-making, tennis and meditation.

The property is also within paddling distance of Cloud 9, Fiji’s most popular floating bar & event space.

COMO Laucala Island

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 is surely one of the only places in the world where guests have a multimillion-dollar DeepFlight Super Falcon submarine at their disposal.

The 3000-acre island can only be accessed via private plane — your approach marked by coastal coral and the dense canopies of tropical jungle forests. Around the resort itself, you’ll be accommodate in one of 25 exclusive villas: each of which is attended to by a staff of 16 on-site personnel and a private buggy.

Predictably, this kind of scale does not come cheaply: at time of writing, there is a minimum 3-night stay at a daily rate of $6,100. That said, this price tag is all-inclusive, covering everything from F&B to the various aquatics activities you and your party 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…we could go on.

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

Namale Resort

All-inclusive resorts are a fixture in Fiji; and when it comes to the very best, Namale is a name that is cited with some degree of frequency.

Located on Savusavu, across 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 across the board and a layout so palatial that navigating it via 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

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: so there’s no reason to envy your neighbour’s view after checking in.

Regulars recommend splurging on one of the hotel’s signature Reef Suites: offering up to 82 sqm of privacy; or the private Reef Bures — located in an adults-only wing, and supplied with a complimentary golf cart.

Trust us when we say that the cart is essential: 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 a 9-hole golf course.

---

LikuLiku Lagoon Resort

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 Fiji’s only authentic overwater bures: rustic Fijian huts that have been dressed in natural materials and luxury polish, 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: reserved for resort guests to snorkel, picnic, and watch the sunrise. Mociu also doubles as a showcase for owner Ahura Resorts’ various environmental initiatives.

Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort Fiji

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

The duo tussled in court over naming rights to the property, but fortunately, Jean-Michel was legally authorised to keep using the Cousteau name — wrapping this particular luxury resort in Fiji with an enviable legacy.

Unsurprisingly, eco-luxury is the name of the game at Jean-Michel Cousteau. The resort’s eponymous Dive Centre gives guests the opportunity to go diving around the nearby Namena reserve sites; join guided tours with the hotel’s resident marine biologist; and even obtain their own PADI certification.

Aside from that, you’ve also got a whole bevvy of paddleboards, catamarans and kayaks to go exploring in. Although the on-land experience isn’t quite as varied, there’s still a robust emphasis on exploration: across mangroves, pearl farms and hidden waterfalls.

---

Royal Davui Island Resort

Located near Beqa Island, Royal Davui Island Resort is another award-winning, 5-star property perfect for those who prize luxury and adventure in equal measure.

Unlike the slightly larger profile LikuLiku Lagoon Resort, you’ve only got 16 villas here, all perched on the edge of a rocky cliffside and crowned with panoramic waterfront vistas.

It’ll take you around 30 minutes, embarking from the Pacific Harbour, to get here by boat; ferrying you directly into an epicentre of fine dining and luxury amenities. All rooms come with spa baths, retractable roofs, decks fitted with private plunge pools and mammoth four-poster beds. Davui Spa, the hotel’s signature spa, is also well-regarded.

Luxury aside, the location near Beqa Island is a gamechanger: giving guests easy access to a great variety of waterfall hikes, village walks, and some of the best snorkelling spots of any resort in Fiji.

---

Nanuku Resort

Nanuku is located on Beqa Lagoon by the Pacific Harbour, tucked into its own diminutive groove on Fiji’s southern coast, 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. For island vacationers, this remoteness is right in the sweet spot, feeling far-flung enough to offer a sense of privacy and immersion.

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. All 18 of the hotel’s rooms are designed with serenity in mind. In particular: the Nanuku Villas, which all have beachfront access and a minimum footprint of 84 sqm.

Service at this property also gets our stamp of approval, not to mention that of multiple best-in-class publications like Condé Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure.

Kokomo Private Island Fiji

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 $2,400 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

For travelers 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: via helicopter transfer from Nadi is how most guests opt to arrive.

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 — all with direct beach access.

Amenities include a gym, the lush Senikai spa, a kid’s village, two signature restaurants, and new PADI-certified dive centre.

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

---

Malolo Island Resort

It’s only a 30-minute drive from Nadi International Airport before you hit Malolo Island, set amid Fiji’s dramatic Mamanuca archipelago.

But that’s a boring way to get to this luxury resort considering the alternative: a scenic flight in a seaplane (again, from Nadi Airport) or via private speedboat transfer.

No matter how you choose to arrive at Malolo Island Resort, you’re greeted like family and taken along a lattice of boardwalks to your premium bure: dressed in a British colonial style with the requisite number of tropical accents.

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 comprehensive: from Leilani’s Spa, which features open-air treatment rooms, to some of the best Fijian food of any resort in the archipelago.

InterContinental Grand Pacific Hotel Suva

If it’s good enough for the English royals, chances are, it’s good enough for us.

The Grand Pacific Hotel, a historic building built in 1914, sits on the main seafront along Victoria Parade in the Fijian capital of Suva.

Considering that the vast majority of ‘centrally located ‘city’ hotels in Fiji have absolutely nothing on the private resorts that account for the bulk of this guide, that’s yet another reason why Grand Pacific Hotel stands staunchly: an accessible, centrally-located property that’s actually worth the cost of admission.

IHG is in charge on the managerial side here, leaning heavily into the building’s history and the affection locals have for the property. The Grand Pacific Hotel, with its head-turning neo-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, help to seamlessly tie together the whole grand old aesthetic. Why else would HRH Queen Elizabeth II have stayed here three times?

---

Turtle Island Fiji

Only 14 couples at a time can come and experience Turtle Island: 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, clearly, a favourite of the honeymooning set.

The island has around 14 private beaches, so it’s easy for guests to fan out and relax like they have the entire place to themselves. Buyer beware: bookings here have to meet a 5-night minimum.

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.
