DESTINATION SP OTLIGHT / FIJI
Which Fiji is right for you? Fiji is the perfect destination for every kind of holiday-maker. Here’s why. 1 |
It’s family friendly. Kids’ clubs feature everything from crab racing to treasure hunts. Some resorts even have their own inflatable water parks. Ask us about family bures which can accommodate several guests, inter-connecting suites and resorts which sleep up to three kids in one room.
2 | Even teenagers love it. For active teens, sand dune adventures and forest hikes keep the kilojoules burning. And if they need bragging rights for the school yard, there’s shark snorkelling and manta ray swimming. 3 | It’s paradise for couples. With glistening resorts, private beach picnics and fine dining with toes in the sand, couples flock to Fiji. We highly recommend Koro at Hilton Fiji Beach Resort and Spa, an exclusive adults-only area. Koro means village in Fijian, so everyone’s encouraged to eat, swim, mingle and relax.
1 | YA S AWA I S L A N D S Once the domain of the budget conscious, now also boasting several 4-5 star resorts for luxury seekers. Pristine unspoilt beaches offering amazing snorkelling, swimming with manta rays and reef sharks or explore local villages for a glimpse of Fijian life. A three hour ferry ride from the mainland means the Yasawas is more secluded and the perfect antidote “for those wanting to get away from it all.” Hot Tip | Tick something incredible off your bucket list and arrive to your destination by sea-plane.
2 | MAMANUCA ISLANDS Under an hour from the mainland makes this beautiful area very popular. Options to suit all budgets, great family friendly snorkelling and Cloudbreak, one of the best surf breaks in the world. Families with children will appreciate the popular kids clubs at our resorts.

Hot Tip | If snorkelling straight off the deck of an overwater bungalow takes your fancy, ask us about the adults-only Likuliku Lagoon Resort.

4 | You can get off the beaten track. Getting off the well-worn track could involve getting off the ground altogether — and onto a Captain Cook Fiji discovery cruse. Explore Fiji’s lesser-visited islands such as Vanua Levu and Taveuni, or the Lau and Kadavu Islands which are rarely seen by tourists.

It’s budget friendly. You don’t want to worry about the budget while chilling out. Look out for resort deals where kids stay, play and eat for free, usually up to the age of 11. All-inclusive is advantageous because you pay for everything in advance and often includes accommodation, meals, unlimited drinks, nightly entertainment and various water activities. ■

Hot Tip | If travelling with kids check out the Big Bula Water Park and finish the day at the Denarau Golf Club for meals your kids will love, without the resort prices.
