Fiji Island Resorts – Main Islands Visited by Travelers

When people hear Fiji referred to as an “island paradise,” many of them don’t quite understand that Fiji is not a single island. The nation of Fiji is comprised of a group of over three hundred islands and over five hundred islands. Despite their proximity to one another and isolation from the rest of the world, the islands of Fiji are unique and each has its own particular charm. While you may not want to visit some of the smaller ones that wind up underwater at high tide, there are several popular Fiji island resorts that you won’t regret visiting.

Viti Levu is the largest and most populated island of Fiji. Fiji’s international airport is located here, in the city of Nadi, and its capital, Suva, is also located here. Many Fiji island resorts call Viti Levu home, and if you want to get a good feel for Fiji’s culture and people, then you should definitely visit the island that is home to seventy percent of the island nation’s population. The resorts here offer everything from quiet beaches to a vibrant night life. Viti Levu offers the greatest diversity of a Fiji experience than any other island in the nation.

The Mamanuca Islands of Fiji are a group of about twenty islands, seven of which are underwater during the high tide. Fiji island resorts in the Mamanucas are a bit more secluded than the resorts of Viti Levu, and visitors to this island paradise commonly enjoy snorkeling and scuba diving near its abundant coral reefs, as well as sunbathing and kayaking on the beach. Those who prefer to explore the interior of the island can go for long hikes in the jungles of the island there, and you can even hike to the location of the former camp where the television show “Survivor: Fiji” was filmed.

The Yasawa Islands are located in the Western Division of Fiji. They are a group of about twenty volcanic islands. Due to the volcanic nature of their formation, they boast a mountainous terrain, making for spectacular views and some of the best hiking that Fiji has to offer. The Yasawas have a certain wild quality to them, which makes sense when you discover that they were only opened to land tourism in 1987. Until then, people were only allowed to cruise by and gawk at the majesty of its mountains. But, now, the Yasawas are home to many fine Fiji island resorts.
