Fiji

While relatively small overall, Fiji is actually made up of more than 300 islands. It's famed for rugged landscapes, palm-lined beaches and soft coral reefs with clear lagoons.

The major drawcards, the picture-perfect Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands, arc northwards from Viti Levu, Fiji's largest island and by far the main centre for population & business.

If beaches are your thing, then Fiji has an abundance of beautiful jaw-dropping options to choose from. But, it's not just about sun, sand and some incredible surfing. On the larger islands of Viti Levu, Vanua Levu and Taveuni, travellers will be rewarded for exploring beyond the beach, with the thriving nightlife of Suva, the tropical gardens & mountains of Taveuni and the local villages and communities giving an altogether different, but equally rewarding experience.
