Top 5 Reasons Why You NEED To Visit Fiji
Posted by Maris on 19th Mar 2024
Many of us would be delighted to enjoy clean oceans, white sand beaches, and blue skies, but what if your utopia required more than simply beach days? The good news is that Fiji has paradise, no matter how it may look.
Here are five reasons to make Fiji the first destination on your trip itinerary, just in case we need to convince you otherwise.
A hop, skip and a jump
As they say, and it's never been truer than in the case of a vacation to Fiji. From Sydney, the island archipelago may be reached in less than four hours by air. It takes less time in the air to get to Western Australia than that. You may go from sitting in traffic in Sydney to enjoying cocktails at a swim-up bar in paradise in a single day. This location is easily accessible with direct flights from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Adelaide.
Loved up and loving it
The most romantic place on Earth is, in fact, this one. Certainly, it appears that way from the Married at First Sight contestants! Treat that special someone to an adults-only getaway at Tokoriki Island Resort. This award-winning establishment elevates casual elegance to a new level with features like romantic beach dinners and a luxurious day spa. Take a sunset cruise and enjoy a BBQ of lobster tails and scotch fillet while you watch the sun set from the deck of your Captain Cook boat. Alternatively, go all out and enjoy your nuptials with sand between your toes on the beach. No arrangements for a wedding or honeymoon forthcoming? Sometimes the little things are the most important ones. It's always a good idea to finish a long walk with a delectable picnic on your own private beach, or to watch the sunset over Port Denarau from Rhum Bar. Renowned for serving the best pina coladas in Fiji, the bar infuses its own coconut rum, vanilla, and chilli honey. It's a terrific place to have a few drinks at the end of the day.
Fun for little and big kids
Bringing the family along? Family vacations are ideal in Fiji because of its abundance of activities and well-known family-friendly vibe. We're not limited to children's clubs, even though many hotels offer these incredible amenities. Your kids can learn how to create kava bowls, play lali drums, husk coconuts, and perform traditional Fijian dances at Castaway Island. Then there are the Meimeis, or babysitters, who may come by most resorts to watch your kids while you go out for a romantic day or evening. Want to make the most of your precious family time? The Malamala Beach Club is a fantastic day trip destination for any guests staying on the mainland. At the first island beach club in the world, children under two go free.
Meet the locals
Make an attempt to interact with the locals if you want to enrich your vacation with a few more unique and heartfelt experiences. Recognized as the happiest people in the planet, Fijians take great pride in showcasing their unique local customs and are always pleased to say hello. You may get a flavor of local life on a half-day trip in Nadi. After taking a tour of the ancient town of Viseisi and learning more about its customs and handicrafts, you will visit a vast garden that is home to over 2,000 different kinds of orchids. The tour will conclude with a visit to the stunning Sri Siva Subrahmaniya Swami Temple. You may discover even more about the way of life on the island at Robert Crusoe Island Resort. The small island is just a short lagoon ride from the mainland, and its primary attraction is its organic, locally grown food, which is cooked using lovo, wrapped in banana leaves, and baked beneath hot rocks.
Go beyond the beach
Although we all know they do fly and flop getaways quite well, Fiji has much more to offer. Some of the more adventurous activities, such as shark diving and swimming with manta rays, as well as game fishing and surfing the renowned Cloud 9 break, are sure to thrill-seekers. And those activities are limited to the ocean. There are plenty of activities available on land to keep you occupied, such as quad riding, caving, ziplining, and some quite unique treks. As the name implies, you will check in at Barefoot Manta Island, throw off your shoes, and never wear them again. With shipwreck diving available, this laid-back resort on Drawaga Island is a favorite among tourists looking to explore the fantastic reefs right outside their door.
