10 Reasons to Visit Fiji
It’s safe to say that most individuals know Fiji to be an idyllic island paradise in the South Pacific – but alas, there’s so much more to this vibrant corner of Polynesia.
Here are top 10 reasons for you to consider as you are planning your visit to Fiji.
Bula! Is the traditional Fijian greeting.
The People of Fiji
Fijians are some of the most genuine, welcoming and hospitable people on the planet – and you will experience this immediately once you make your international arrival in Fiji. But to fully appreciate Fijian friendliness, culture and customs, a visit to traditional Native Fijian villages is recommended. While here, you may be invited to experience a Yaqona ceremony, which culminates in the consumption of the traditional Kava beverage (Pro Tip: Play it safe and ask for “low tide” (small portion)).

Tranquil & Natural Surroundings
Thankfully, Fiji is not a destination that’s bogged down with concrete tower skylines and it has avoided excessive development. This consideration to the environment continues to preserve Fiji’s natural ecological integrity. On Fiji’s outer islands, daytime provides opportunities to experience its thriving biodiversity in all its glory. And on many nights, you will experience clear skies and can view constellations.

Its Resorts
Fiji’s resorts are unique and fully embrace Fiji and Polynesian design aesthetics. And if you’re staying in a bure, the Fijian word for a wood and straw hut, you will experience high ceilings and plenty of living space. As a plus, in-room televisions aren’t the norm and wi-fi is typically relegated to resort public spaces. The result: You’re able to fully disconnect and appreciate the natural surroundings. Here are a few resorts to consider:
Matangi Private Island Resort: This resort is located on a private, horseshoe-shaped island. It features nine bures and three unique tree houses. Guests 16 years and older are welcome.
Yasawa Island Resort: This resort features 18 bures that are located beachfront, on a white-sand beach. Guests 16 years and older are welcome.
Namale Fiji Island Resort and Spa: This all-inclusive resort is surrounded by a lush tropical rain forest and features panoramic views of the Koro Sea. It features 22 spacious bures and villas. Guests 16 years and older are welcome.
