5. Daku Fiji Resort

There are certainly plenty of accommodation options for families at the Daku Fiji Resort, which is made up of three types of villas, a cottage, a pool house, a beach house and a handful of bures. What the rooms lack in “style” they make up for in their fair price and privacy, with each villa situated well apart from each other. Not that you will be spending too much time in your villa when there’s hiking, chocolate factory tours, village visits, waterfall tours, snorkelling, bird-watching and swimming in the pool to engage in! If activities and exploration are your main reasons to visit Vanua Levu, Daku Fiji Resort is an excellent base that provides assistance to help your family see the highlights!
