7 Things You Must Explore In Fiji

There are few bucket list destinations in the world where they can easily be categorized as honeymoon locales and Fiji is one of them. But with new players in the game, Fiji is reinventing itself. With the horrific Cyclone Winston consuming most in its path in 2016, Fiji turned to recovery mode and decided to carve out a new hospitality niche and let’s just say, it’s working. Tourism is up and there’s reason to consider this destination, whether you’re a honeymooner, adventure-seeker or something else entirely.

# Taste Fiji

Very important on any trip: Find a place where the coffee is strong. To top it off, this place has fresh food and large servings. Don’t miss their caramelized Vuda pork belly if you’re there for lunch.

# Nadina Authentic Fiji Restaurant

Dinner al fresco is almost a requirement in Fiji. Celebrating homegrown and foraged ingredients, this local cuisine is some of the best you’ll try. Don’t miss their ceviche, or kokoda, Fiji’s version of the dish, which is balanced with coconut milk.

# Eco Café

This joint Italian-Fijian enterprise doesn’t disappoint. Eco café faces the beach, with an open-fronted, wood-and-bamboo decor and a mellow beach bar vibe. What’s not to love about a beach facing bar?

# Beach Bar and Grill

Known as Le Café earlier, the Beach Bar and Grill is popular with those wanting to eat outside their resorts. It’s a simple thatched outfit, but has an impressive menu, with lots of excellent local seafood.

# Whale’s Tale

With a quaint bamboo thatched kitchen out back and massive windows in the seating area where you can watch the world go by as you dig into something delicious, this perennial Levuka favourite is a charming little place.

# Overwater It on Malolo

Likuliku Lagoon Resort is the home to Fiji’s only overwater huts. Take bath overwater. Read book overwater. Brush your teeth overwater. Here, everyday tasks seem new and exciting. At every turn, the glass floors and glass counters let Fiji’s blues radiate throughout your living space. The hut has a full bath and shower, and a living space that trumps most overwater offerings in space and style. Stay one night or nine weeks. Leave only if you must.

# Hike the Falls of Taveuni

More than 80 percent of the falls is protected within the Bouma National Heritage Park, and the park is home to prehistoric tree ferns, rare orchids, tumbling waterfalls and natural water slides. The Tavoro waterfalls is a 60-foot horsetail of white water which cascades an emerald pool.
