Astonishingly, there are more than 300 islands that make up the nation of Fiji. Even more amazingly, there are a further 500 islets or atolls scattered between those islands creating an enomous archipelago. While millions of tourists come to Fiji every year looking for the perfect Fiji island resort, with such a large number of islands to choose from finding the ideal vacation spot can be extremely confusing!
Many visitors arrive at the main international airport in Fiji at Nadi. Nadi is a fast growing city and is surrounded by many high quality resorts and hotels just a short distance from the airport. This is a sensible economic decision for many travels who choose a Nadi resort for their vacation – but when you come to Fiji you come to ‘get away from it all’. And that’s really what you should do.
Domestic flights within Fiji are short and inexpensive and if you want to create a Fiji holiday you’ll remember forever, think about choosing a Fiji island resort that takes you deeper into the heart of Fiji. The further you get from Nadi, the closer you’ll come to the true spirit of Fiji. You’ll discover a culture of fun loving people who are eager to share their beautiful slice of paradise with you, and you’ll be invited in with true Fijian hospitality. If you want to experience the best of Fiji, board a flight to Vanua Levu – Fiji’s northern island.
Just a short flight from Nadi, you’ll arrive at Savusavu on Vanua Levu, a beautiful old-fashioned kind of paradise. Unspoiled by the hundreds of visitors that line the beaches around Nadi, Savusavu is situated along a beautiful bay with excellent diving, snorkeling and swimming experiences to be had right at the doorstep of your private bure. Surrounded by 100 year old coconut plantations and rainforest covered mountains, the beaches at Savusavu lead you down to crystal clear waters containing an entire other world of wonders and treasures.
There is an almost endless array of activities available in Savusavu including diving, snorkeling, kayaking, golf, tennis, biking, hiking, rainforest and waterfall treks, hot springs, fishing, sailing and surfing – not to mention exploring the cultural side of Fiji with village visits, traditional markets, lovo and meke events and the wonderful shops of Savusavu. Local black pearls are farmed and harvested in Savusavu with excellent opportunities to for you to purchase a rare and special Fijian souvenir. In additional to all that, one local resort also runs yoga retreats with classes held on Fiji’s only yoga shala – a beautiful platform built on the side of a mountain with fantastic views over the bay.
While there are many Fiji island resorts to choose from, if you’re looking for a Fiji vacation that gives you a relaxing hide-away far from the pressures of every day life, then you really must consider a Savusavu resort for your holiday. There are a number of excellent Savusavu hotels, guesthouses and resorts to suit every budget, so what are you waiting for? Fiji’s hidden paradise awaits you.
