The ultimate island getaway
Fiji is a South Pacific archipelago comprising over 300 islands – some inhabited but many untouched. Each island offers something different but white sandy beaches, peaceful lagoons, and locals keen to show off their culture make every single one a fascinating destination.
A luxury vacation to Fiji is the ultimate island getaway and with a range of resorts to choose from, including all-inclusive private island resorts, it is the perfect opportunity to just switch off. Surrounded by the crystal clear waters of the South Pacific, it’s no surprise that swimming, snorkelling, and diving are some of the most popular activities. The vibrant underwater world is a fascinating place to explore with colourful schools of fish, turtles, manta rays, and tiger sharks.
The Mamanucas and the Yasawa Islands, sitting to the west of Viti Levu, are some of Fiji’s most popular, characterised by palm-fringed beaches and powder soft sand. Sitting to the north east is Vanua Levu, Fiji’s second largest island, while to the south is the Kadavu Island Group. These islands are surrounded by the Great Astrolabe Reef and offer some of the best diving in the area.
Although the beaches are one of the main draws of a trip to Fiji, there are also incredible hiking trails, bird-watching opportunities and the chance to discover traditional culture with a visit to a local village. Fijians are incredibly proud of their heritage and with Indian, Chinese and European ancestry the culture is incredibly varied. Most trips to Fiji include a lovo – a traditional feast cooked in an earth oven, and a kava ceremony where guests are invited to try Fiji’s national drink and get to learn more about the Fijian way of life.
We have hand-picked our favourite resorts in Fiji – some are the perfect retreat for honeymooners while others are geared up for families looking for an active vacation. If you want to really get out and explore the islands, then a cruise or private charter is the perfect way to travel. Fiji is a great place to go at any time of year, especially as an add-on to a trip to Australia or New Zealand.

Places to combine Fiji with
Australia
Australia is a land of many wonders. From the untamed wilderness of Tasmania, to the rich culture of Uluru, passing by the remote corners of the Outback and the turquoise waters of the Great Barrier Reef, there’s truly something for every type of traveller. Hop from one island to the next, from North to South, or go wine tasting in a vineyard. Australia is a destination that knows no limits.
Discover moreNew Zealand
With everything from rugged coastlines to pristine beaches, snow-capped mountain ranges and bubbling geysers, New Zealand is a destination that packs a punch. It’s also where you’ll find world-class cuisine, incredible wine and fascinating culture. Take a helicopter ride above an active volcano, visit the wondrous world of Hobbiton, cruise to spectacular fjords or yet even enjoy dinner at a Maori home.
Discover morePapua New Guinea
An intriguing land of fascinating cultures and indigenous tribes, Papua New Guinea consists of lush forested mountain ranges, home to colourful birds of paradise. The pristine waters of the Solomon and Coral Seas teem with marine life, making this one of the world’s best diving destinations.

French Polynesia is our definition of paradise on earth. With deep turquoise lagoons, white sandy beaches and dramatic green volcanoes, this archipelago is everything you would expect from a far-flung tropical destination. There are 118 islands, of which 67 are inhabited. Bora Bora, Tahiti and Moorea are some of the most popular choices when it comes to staying in French Polynesia.

When to Visit
Although Fiji is warm year-round, the best time to visit Fiji is during the dry season. This lasts from May until October, and is made up of mostly pleasant breezes and cool nights, so outdoor activities such as water sports are more enjoyable. May to October is also the best time for spotting wildlife, as during these months it’s manta ray and whale season. November to April is humid and sees torrential tropical downpours, usually in the afternoon, and the occasional storm.
