Things to Do in Fiji on an Adults-Only Getaway
You might have heard that Fiji is “full of kids”, which is somewhat of an exaggeration, as it all depends on your chosen resort.
But if you’re looking for something special to do minus the soundtrack of squabbling families, or even if your own kids have a few days booked in a kids’ club, this list of Fiji’s best activities for adults will surely help you make the most of it.
Check out some of our recommended ways to enjoy Fiji without kids with this list of adult-only activities in Fiji.
Remember, an easy way to find child-free activities in Fiji is through activities provided in adult-only resorts. Check out some of our top picks in the 20 Best Adult-Only Resorts in Fiji.

1. Indulge in a Famous Fijian Spa Treatment
Let’s start with an adults-only activity that you can enjoy at just about any resort in Fiji. Spa treatments are a big deal on the islands, where rest and relaxation are a prime part of “Fiji time“.
Some of the most unique spas can be found at the adult-only island resorts surrounding Taveuni, where spas feature massage decks elevated in the jungle.

While there are many adult-only resorts in Fiji, don’t rule out other resorts. Many of Fiji’s most prestigious resorts have areas exclusively for adults where you’ll find the tone is set just right for a relaxing resort experience.
For instance, Denarau Island‘s luxury resorts have adult-only facilities and even entire complexes, such as the Waitui Beach Club within the Sofitel Fiji Resort.
The adults-only beach club gives guests a daily welcome pack, as well as facilities like a pool with a swim-up bar, gym, private cabanas, champagne bar, restaurant with healthy eating options, live entertainment, pool butler service, fitness programs and more.
Learn more about Denarau’s adult-only areas and other activities in the 10 Adult-Only Activities in Denarau.

While scuba diving is pretty awesome in Fiji, which we’ll get to later, cageless shark diving on the Pacific Harbour or the Yasawa Islands is a whole new level of adrenaline!
That’s right, the nearby Shark Reef Marine Reserve on the Pacific Harbour is a protected area for around seven different species of sharks (including huge bull sharks) and around 300 species of fish.

The incredible reef breaks of Fiji are no place for a kid. Intermediate to experienced surfers will find some of the most challenging waves in the South Pacific, particularly off the islands of Taveuni, Kadavu and the Mamanucas, only a short boat ride from their resort – learn more in the 10 Best Places to Surf in Fiji.
One of the most famous breaks is Cloudbreak in the Mamanucas, often appearing on lists of the world’s top challenging breaks.

Imagine just you and your loved one on a pristine sandbank with nothing but vibrant turquoise waters for miles and miles. The “private beach” or “sandbank experience” is a staple of Fiji’s island resorts, particularly in the Mamanucas, Yasawas and Vanua Levu.
For instance, in Vanua Levu, Nukubati Great Sea Reef‘s signature sandbank picnic experience has you and your loved one transported to a secluded sandbank amid the Great Sea Reef.
The sandbank will be prepared just for you with deckchairs, a table, an umbrella and your chosen meal as part of a Champagne lunch. Just let the team know when to pick you up using the radio provided.
Check out more like this in the 10 Adult-Only Activities on Vanua Levu.

Another thing that Vanua Levu is popular for is its yoga and wellness retreats. Getting a refresher is part of the Fiji holiday experience, which you can fully take advantage of at accommodations like Naveria Heights Lodge, which offers wellness programs for guests.
Alternatively, resorts like the Koro Sun Resort are a popular venue for retreats, whether it’s surrounding fitness, art, wellness or yoga.
Head over to the Yasawa Islands, where you’ll receive daily morning yoga sessions with resorts like the Navutu Stars Resort.

© FijiPocketGuide.com7. Enjoy an Adults-Only Cruise in the Yasawa Islands
Experience the ultimate adult getaway with Blue Lagoon Cruises, offering adults-only voyages through the stunning Yasawa Islands. These cruises excel in providing valuable onshore time, with most dinners served in authentic Fijian villages or picturesque beach locations.
The outstanding value includes all meals, a sparkling wine and gift pack upon arrival, a wide range of activities, and even complimentary laundry service.
We recommend the seven-night cruise for the full experience, as the four-night option involves a lengthy boat ride to join the cruise ship.
However, shorter cruises are ideal for time-constrained travellers. With nightly moorings in breathtaking locations and daily opportunities to explore Fijian culture, Blue Lagoon Cruises offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
Location: Cruises depart from Port Denarau Marina, Denarau Island, Nadi, Viti Levu. See The Guide to Cruises Around Fiji for more information.

Wherever you stay in Fiji, a sure-fire way to enjoy an adult-only experience is on a private fishing charter. It’s just you and your partner/travel mates against the South Pacific’s pelagics, whether it’s mahimahi, yellowfin tuna, wahoo or something else.
Fiji also has options for spearfishing if you want to crank up the adventure level.

You may wonder why we have saved this one until last, but honestly, if you know anything about Fiji, you probably already know about scuba diving.
Fiji was dubbed the “Soft Coral Capital of the World” by Jaques Cousteau, and the title has stuck, as Fiji’s tropical waters have some of the most majestic reefs, from the Rainbow Reef between Vanua Levu and Taveuni to the fourth-largest barrier reef, the Great Astrolabe Reef in Kadavu.
With scuba courses only offered to children over 10 years old, scuba diving is certainly not an activity to worry about “too many kids”.

A fantastic free thing to do when staying at a resort is kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). Complimentary freedom hire of kayaks is a staple of the adult-only resorts in Fiji, providing an experience on the water that is as tranquil or as active as you like – see SUP in Fiji: 35 Resorts & Tours With Stand-Up Paddleboarding for an idea.
For more on an adventure, Southern Sea Ventures and Tamarillo Active Travel offer an exhilarating kayaking expedition through the Yasawa Islands and Kadavu. Although tours are open for families, they are generally only attracting adults or provide a private experience.

Although there’s no age limit for skydiving, for some bizarre reason, parents don’t seem to want to chuck their kids out of planes. That makes all the more room for like-minded adventure-seekers to jump from 10,000-13,000 ft over the stunning islands of Fiji. Skydive Fiji offer pick-ups from Nadi accommodations.
