Fabulous Fiji Beckons You to Adventure!

THERE'S MORE TO FIJI THAN JUST THE BEAUTIFUL BEACHES. WE GIVE YOU AN IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE FROM SOME OF THE FIJ IAN VILLAGES, LIVES OF FOURTH GENERATION FIJI INDIANS, THEIR CULTURE AND ADRENALINE PUMPING ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES SO THAT YOU CELEBRATE LIFE EVERY SINGLE DAY!

The welcome greeting continued throughout our trip everywhere we went. Before we let you in on our Fijian sojourn, let us brief you on Fijian time, yes there's a time that exists in the world clock and there's something called Fijian time. Although according to the clock, it’s understood that in Fiji, everything runs at its own slow pace. No one is in any rush here. “I’m on Fiji time. No hurry, no worry. Try running on Fiji time for a day, happiness and relaxation guaranteed” - is a common saying and no one ever looks stressed at any point of time. We soon moulded ourselves from concrete city life to living a slow life in Fiji time. Every islander I met looked genuinely happy and gave us the warmest sunshine smiles with the sweetest of Bula greetings.

There are about nine family-friendly resorts in Port Denarau, at a short drive from both the Nadi and Suva international in airport, each one more luxurious than the other. Our home for the week was a stunning Accor Beach facing property at Viti Levu. Our welcome kit at Sofitel Fiji included a room key card with a pair of sunnies. After a long flight to this beautiful island, the cozy comfy bed looked extremely inviting and we slept like a baby. We woke up fresh at the break of dawn and got dressed for a hearty breakfast with a view. The buffet spread was extensive with a mix of Continental, Fijian and also an Indian section.
