While the South Pacific is flush with popular luxury resorts, Fiji has some of the finest retreats. Take a look at some of our favorites, where you’ll find dreamy overwater bures, white sandy beach, perhaps a suite with its own infinity pool, a spa and so much more.
1. Yasawa Island Resort and Spa
The accolades just keep coming for this adults-only retreat on Mamanuca Island, a five-minute flight from Nadi. The privately owned resort has perfected the art of barefoot luxury and caters to just 72 guests at a time. Each beachfront bure is an exquisite personal hideaway, some with their own pool. Go on island beach picnics, go diving and snorkeling, have a massage or simply lounge on the white sandy beach.

3. Hilton Fiji Beach Resort
Set on a lengthy private beach on Denarau Island, the Hilton Fiji Beach Resort is convenient to both Port Denarau and Sabeto Hotspring. A delight for families, the resort offers a kids’ club and seven pools – with spaces for both adults and children. Parents can take a time out with a beachfront spa treatment. The whole family can gather for decadent dining at Nuku for international cuisine or Asia dishes at Maravu, in view of the nightly Fijian torch-lighting ceremony.
4. Sofitel Fiji Resort
Infusing Fiji with a touch of French style, the Sofitel Fiji Resort awaits your arrival. From the adults-only, poolside Waitui Bar & Grill to the Niu Kids Beach Club, there’s something for everyone. Try more than 30 house-made infused rums at SUKA or seafood by the sea at SOLIS. Dance all night at the Republik Night Club, while the teens head to the Teenage Zone for video games and movies.
5. InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort
Does vacation mean golf? Check into the InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort to tee off in paradise. Set amongst coconut palms and native flora, the resort was inspired by a traditional Fijian village and imparts a sense of friendly welcome to all guests. You’re invited to sit back, relax and enjoy all of the amenities along Natadola Beach. Of course, don’t miss the 18-hole, PGA-endorsed golf course. Save time for snorkeling, watersports and a soak in your room’s Cleopatra bath.
6. Lomani Island Resort
You’ll arrive at Lomani via boat or private plane as it’s located in Fiji’s Mamanuca chain with just two other resorts as neighbors. The vibe of this adults-only retreat is pure relaxation. It’s big enough that you rarely have to see anyone but your partner, but not overwhelming as there is just one restaurant, one pool and only 24 rooms. Awake in your elegant room – some with canopy beds or private outdoor showers – then spend the day sailing, snorkeling, kayaking or simply lounging on the white-sand beach on Malolo Bay.
7. Qamea
This secluded, private-island resort checks all the boxes for a romantic, adults-only tropical vacation. Intimacy? Check. Beautiful spa? Check. White-sand beach? Check. Plenty of activities on land and at sea? Check. Pinch yourself when you arrive to a welcome drink and handmade lei – all this island luxury is yours.
8. Westin Denarau Island Resort
Rejuvenate mind, body and soul at this 30-acre oceanfront hideaway. There’s everything you could want for – from an 18-hole championship golf course to several swimming pools – so everyone you’re traveling with can be happy. Dine at the oceanside Kitchen Grill, let your kids’ gush about their adventures in the complimentary children’s club, then sink into a delicious slumber on an iconic Westin Heavenly® Bed.
9. Sheraton Fiji Resort
If convenient luxury is what you’re after, the Sheraton Fiji Resort fits the bill. Less than 20 minutes from Nadi Airport, you’ll hardly take a breath before you’re sipping a cocktail by the pool. Guests enjoy access to amenities at neighboring hotels, widening the scope of amenities. Swim in lagoon-style pools, play in the ocean, dine around at other restaurants in the complex and enjoy a round of golf.
10. Shangri La’s Fijian Resort
Shangri La, indeed. Nestled on private Yanuca Island, this exclusive resort offers 442 oceanview guest rooms, five dining options and three bars and convenience to the Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park so you can have your helping of indulgent luxury, then explore the island’s natural beauty. Have a sunrise swim in the lagoon, tee off on a Peter Thompson-designed golf course, enjoy a cocktail at the Black Marlin, share Pan-Asian plates at Takali AsianKitchen, watch the colorful Pacific Show and laugh as the kids go wild on the inflatable water park (it’s OK, you can use it, too!). You’ll all love the Marine Education Centre, where you can learn about conservation efforts in this marine sanctuary. Seeking couple time? Stay in the adults-only Reef Wing of the resort.
11. Vanua Levu Resorts
This Fijian island offers some of the region’s best all-inclusive resorts. Whether you’re a couple seeking a romantic retreat or a family in need of together time, you’ll find the island resort for you. From the award-winning Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort that combines an appreciation for the underwater world with environmentally friendly style, to the adults-only Namale Resort & Spa’s sanctuary-like spa and private accommodations, this is paradise found. At the Koro Sun Resort, surround yourself with lush rainforest and waterfalls, and the friendliness of the Fijian staff, and at Savasi Island, take advantage of having a 52-acre private island all to yourself – there are just seven beautiful villas, as well as floating rooms aboard a permanently moored schooner.
