Sunny, unique and unspoiled, the Fiji Islands are
one thousand miles of pristine white sand beaches,
fabulous coral gardens and azure lagoons. Fiji’s 333
islands can sizzle with excitement or murmur with the
quiet calm of pristine nature. Swim with huge, harmless
manta rays congregating by the shore, snorkel over giant
rainbow gardens of soft coral, or scuba dive the White
Wall and famous Astrolabe Reef. The sun shines almost
everyday in Fiji and when it does rain, people rush
outside for a rainbath in the warm, brief downpour of a
tropical shower which ends as quickly as it began. Here,
life is lived for the simple joy of it all, where
rushing is rude, and the name of a new friend is never
forgotten.

Nadi
Sitting amongst sugar cane fields on the west coast,
Nadi is Fiji’s third largest city and its tourism
capital. Once a small community of farmers and
shopkeepers, Nadi has mushroomed into a thriving
metropolis. The main street, Queen’s Road, is decorated
with cheerful planter boxes and polite clerks smile from
restaurants and souvenir shops. Hotels trickle down the
lush mountainside and a plethora of activities, ranging
from horse riding in the Nausori Highlands to wrestling
a marlin on a deep sea fishing expedition, awaits you.
Crowning Queen’s Road is the opulent Sri Siva
Subramaniya Swami Temple, a spiritual sanctuary for
Fiji’s large Hindu population. To feel at one with
nature, visit the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, and be
engulfed by acres of exotic orchards and native trees.

Coral Coast
Named after the coral reefs that jut out into the
sea like piano keys, the dry Coral Coast offers shelter
from the driving rains of Suva and the crowds of Nadi.
Travel along the scenic coastline using Queen’s Road and
watch the landscape ripen from cane fields dancing in
the wind to blankets of thick forest. For a wilder
ride, hop on the Coral Coast Railway and sit in a
restored sugar cane locomotive as it takes you to the
sights including the stunning Natadola Beach and the
shopping town of Sigatoka. When the day dies down, take
advantage of the resort amenities and enjoy an
invigorating massage or a first-class meal in an
open-air dining room. |
