Fiji

An unforgettable getaway awaits you when you visit Fiji, may you be looking for excitement, romance, or simply a nice, relaxing time away from the hustle of everyday life. Nestled in tropical palm trees and boasting of sunsets that are unlike anywhere else in the world, this archipelago of more than 300 islands is surrounded by calm turquoise waters that hide a wonderful underwater world just waiting to be explored.

Coastal explorations, may it be snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, or surfing, are only some of the many things one can enjoy in Fiji. The island’s deep interior holds secluded tropical hideaways hidden in lush exotic vegetation and rugged hills dotted by majestic waterfalls, natural craters, and mountains.

Apart from geographical explorations, visitors will also get a taste of the unique Fijian culture by trips to various archaeological sites and colorful Hindu temples. Suva, the capital of Fiji, is the perfect place to experience a unique blend of Fijian history with the modern comforts and amenities of hotels and resorts. Guest lodges as well as international hotels are only some of the accommodations on the islands, which are ready to cater to any type of traveler. The capital is also the perfect place to get a glimpse of the rich mix of cultures that make up Fiji—Chinese, Indian, and European traditions come together to create an interesting and exhilarating society known for its diverse and laid-back way of life.

Fiji is also dubbed as a shopper’s paradise. It is a good place to find bags made of natural fibers, kava bowls, and traditional Fijian garments galore. This is also a great place to find spices and taste authentic island cooking. Eating establishments such as the Harbour Centre and the Ashiyana for those who are looking for Indian food, are places to try.
