Itinerary: In pursuit of the perfect beach
Untitled Document
It’s no accident that Fiji is synonymous with the words sun, sand and sea. Boasting over 300 islands, the archipelago offers copious versions of the perfect beach.
The Mamanucas are a good place to start, with wide sandy beaches populated by partygoing backpackers at Beachcomber Island or families indulging in every water sport imaginable at Treasure Island. If you’re looking for something more exclusive, the intimate beaches at Matamanoa and Tokoriki should be just the ticket.
The Yasawa islands are home to two of Fiji’s finest: Oarsman’s Bay’s sublime beach on Nacula and the exquisite beach of the Blue Lagoon in Nanuya Lailai. On Waya, the Sunset Beach Resort sits on a beautifully thick curve of beach and Botaira Beach Resort on Naviti is planted on a long stretch of soft, white sand.
Glorious Natadola Beach is Viti Levu’s best stretch of shoreline and Levukalailai on Vanua Levu hugs 5.5km of superb coast.
Tiny Caqalai in the Lomaiviti islands is a coral island renowned for its perimeter of lovely beach. Other prime beaches in this neck of the woods lie on Leleuvia and Naigani.
Taveuni has world-class diving and divine beaches at Matagi and Qamea, and on Kadavu you’ll find gorgeous swimming beaches at Dive Kadavu Resort and Nagigia Island Resort.
