FIJI

Bula! It is more than just a greeting...it is the spirit of the country - a wish for happiness, good health and the energy of life. With 333 islands, white sand beaches and year-round tropical warmth, this Pacific Island nation is a sanctuary of blissful joy. Located in the heart of the South Pacific, Fiji is home to luxurious private islands, all-inclusive resorts, world-renowned spas, outdoor explorations, scuba diving and a wide array of culinary adventures. While it is an island nation, Fiji is a lot more than just a sun, sand and sea destination. The destination has high adrenaline activities like water sports, shark feeding, river rafting, dirt biking, quad biking and zip-lining, trekking through lush tropical rainforests and volcanic mountain peaks, as well as leisure experiences such as world-class diving and snorkelling, island-hopping, day-trips on yachts, exploring hidden waterfalls, venturing on cave tours, or partying at Cloud 9-a floating resto-bar in Mamanuca Islands. There is also a broad range of wellness programmes that include personalised meal plans, spa treatments, herbal medicine and specialised workouts, which helps you to re-energise in a pristine environment.

Its state-of-the-art golf courses are a treat for international golfers and offer breath-taking views of unending plush greenery. Fiji's dive sites are world-famous, and the country is also known as the soft coral capital of the world for its awe-inspiring barrier reefs and underwater experiences. For those who are seeking a more exclusive escapade, it is possible to rent a private island, like the Dolphin Island, for a three/four-day family getaway, to reunite with nature and family or a significant other.
