Which part of Fiji is the best to stay in?
Your ideal Fiji location really comes down to what kind of experience you’re after — whether it’s convenience, seclusion, family-friendly perks, or a deeper cultural vibe.
The Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands are home to some of Fiji’s most sought-after resorts, featuring beautiful beaches, clear waters and top-notch luxury. For families, Denarau Island offers easy access to activities and amenities, plus it’s just a short distance from Port Denarau’s shopping and dining. Coral Coast on Viti Levu offers a great mix of high-end resorts and authentic Fijian culture, all within easy reach.
On the other hand, Savusavu on Vanua Levu and Taveuni (also known as the Garden Island) are perfect for those who want a more peaceful, off-the-beaten-path getaway with lush landscapes and fewer crowds, while still enjoying premium accommodations.
Is it worth going all inclusive in Fiji?
All-inclusive packages at Fiji’s luxury resorts are a great way to get more value, especially since many properties are a bit off the beaten path. These packages take the hassle out of budgeting by covering gourmet meals, non-alcoholic drinks and plenty of activities like snorkelling, paddle boarding and cultural experiences.
For families, all-inclusive resorts often offer kids’ clubs and meals for little ones, while couples can enjoy romantic dinners and spa treatments without any surprise costs. The convenience is hard to beat, especially at private island resorts where dining options can be limited. For most travellers, the all-inclusive experience is definitely worth it.
What month is best to stay in Fiji?
Fiji’s peak season runs from May to October, offering warm temperatures between 22-28°C, plenty of sunshine and low humidity — perfect for beach days and water sports. September and October are especially great for snorkelling and diving, thanks to clear waters and excellent visibility.
If you’re looking to save a little, consider visiting in the shoulder months of April and November. The weather’s still great, but you’ll avoid the crowds and might find some deals.
While the summer wet season (November to April) brings occasional rain and higher humidity, many luxury resorts offer discounts during this time. Plus, the rain usually passes quickly, and you can still enjoy plenty of sunshine between showers.
