Experience Paradise in the Heart of the South Pacific
Though famous for its white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, lush greenery, and crystal clear waters, there’s so much to love about Fiji beyond just the beaches. Fiji offers adventure and culture set in a backdrop that truly feels like heaven on earth.
The archipelago boasts over 330 islands and atolls, and is brimming with unforgettable accommodations, experiences, and the welcoming hospitality of its people.
One of the first things travelers will notice upon arriving in Fiji is the genuine warmth of its people. The Fijian greeting "Bula!" isn’t just a word, it’s an expression of the country’s spirit. You’ll hear it from everyone you meet, accompanied by big, friendly smiles.
Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a blend of both, Fiji has something to offer every traveler.
Here’s why Fiji is such a magical place:
Breathtaking beaches: Powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters are perfect for lounging in the sun, enjoying a refreshing swim, or simply marveling at breathtaking scenery
Diving adventures: Known as the "Soft Coral Capital of the World," Fiji is an underwater playground for scuba and snorkeling enthusiasts
Outdoor excursions: Beyond the coastline, Fiji is home to tropical rainforests, hidden waterfalls, and exciting river rafting experiences
Rich culture & history: The culture is as vibrant as its landscapes and is a blend of indigenous Fijian traditions and influences from Indian, European, and Chinese settlers

Complete your trip by staying at an overwater bungalow such as those found at Likuliku Lagoon Resort located in the Mamanuca Islands, known for their pristine beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and endless sunshine. This authentically-Fijian resort is for adults only and is the first and only resort in Fiji with authentic over water-bures,.
What makes these over-water bures so special?
With only ten total bures on the entire property, these accommodations could not be more private, exclusive, and beautiful! Set in a natural ocean lagoon, surrounded by a protected marine sanctuary, the bures are perched on the edge of the vibrant fringing reef and feature traditional architecture and materials using natural elements unique to the region. Elegant and stylish pieces surround you and you wonder at the detail in the woodwork, the “magi magi” designs, and the richness of the fabrics.
A popular option for many travelers is to combine Fiji with trips to either Australia and New Zealand. No matter what you choose to explore in Australia and/or New Zealand, the quick flight to explore Fiji is well worth it!
Fiji is located east of Australia and is approximately 4 hours by plane, while the flight from Fiji to New Zealand is even shorter. The approximate time for a flight from Nadi to Auckland is 3 hours and 10 minutes, including connection time.
Fiji is the perfect vacation destination, and you really can’t go wrong visiting at any time of the year. Many prefer the dry season (from May to October), as the weather is sunny and pleasant, however Fiji is still a dream even during the wetter months, as rain showers are typically brief and followed by sunshine.
Here at Aspire Down Under, let’s talk about how we can help you plan a dream trip to Fiji. Whether you want to create an itinerary that includes Australia or New Zealand too, let’s get you one step closer to an unforgettable Fijan adventure.
