The Fiji Fix: An Insider’s Guide to Paradise

Fiji isn’t just a destination—it’s a state of mind. Warm smiles, turquoise waters, and a pace of life so relaxed it makes island time look rushed. It’s where you go to disconnect, recharge, and let the world slow down for a while. But don’t get stuck in a soulless mega-resort with overpriced buffet dinners.

Whether you’re seeking barefoot luxury, a boutique island escape, or the ultimate family-friendly paradise, this guide will help you do Fiji right.

5-Star Luxury: Vomo Island Resort

When it comes to barefoot luxury, Vomo Island Resort sets the standard. White sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and villas so spacious they feel like private residences. Every detail is taken care of, from gourmet meals crafted with fresh local produce to snorkeling straight off the beach. And for families? The Kids’ Village is a game-changer—a paradise within paradise where little ones are entertained while parents sneak off to the adults-only Rocks Bar for sunset cocktails.

Who wouldn't want to be here?! Bula!

4-Star Comfort: Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort

For families who want the best of Fijian hospitality without breaking the bank, Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort delivers. Set along the Coral Coast, it blends traditional Fijian design with modern comfort. Parents will love the Bebe Spa, perched on a hill with breathtaking ocean views, while kids get their own adventure at the Meimei Nanny Service and Little Riggers kids’ club. It’s the perfect balance of relaxation and fun. Plus, with direct beach access and a variety of watersports, there’s something for everyone.

Stay at the Outrigger on Coral Coast to make it easier to connect with early or late flights.

3-Star Boutique Stay: Barefoot Manta Island

For those craving authentic island living, Barefoot Manta is a hidden gem. This eco-friendly retreat in the Yasawa Islands offers rustic beachfront bures, an incredible marine conservation program, and some of the best snorkeling in Fiji. Families can join guided reef walks, night snorkeling, or even participate in manta ray research. There’s no Wi-Fi, no distractions—just quality time with nature and each other.

The Yasawa islands are a long ferry ride - but so worth it! Just make sure your timings work.

Must-Do Day Trips

Cloud 9 – Fiji’s Floating Bar

A floating paradise in the middle of the ocean, Cloud 9 is a two-story bar and pizzeria surrounded by nothing but turquoise water. Families with older kids can snorkel and jump off the deck, while parents sip cocktails in a sun-drenched lounge. Get there early before the party crowd rolls in.

Tivua Island – A Private Island for the Day

Skip the crowded beaches and book a day trip to Tivua Island, a private paradise surrounded by coral reefs. Spend the day kayaking, paddleboarding, or snorkeling, while a Fijian crew teaches traditional weaving and coconut husking. It’s a slice of exclusive island life without the premium price tag.

You are the Captain now.

Insider Tip – Embrace the Bula Spirit

Fiji isn’t just about the beaches—it’s about the people. The Bula Spirit isn’t a marketing gimmick; it’s real. Take the time to chat with the locals, learn a few Fijian phrases, and say yes to unexpected invitations. Whether it’s a kava ceremony in a village or a home-cooked meal shared with newfound friends, these moments will stay with you far longer than any infinity pool selfie.

The Priority One Travel Difference – Making Fiji Seamless

Fiji is an island paradise, but getting to the right island at the right time requires serious planning. The wrong flight time can mean a frustrating overnight stay on the mainland instead of sipping cocktails at sunset on a private island.
