25 BEST Hotels & Places to Stay on the Coral Coast [2024]

Where to Stay on the Coral Coast, Fiji

Wondering where to stay on the Coral Coast of Fiji? The spectacular coastal area of Fiji’s largest island, Viti Levu, might be famous for its resorts, but the alternative accommodations of self-catering apartments, old-worldly hotels, and not to mention, lavish five-star private villas may just be what you’re looking for. In this guide, we go through a varied but specially curated list of the best hotels and places to stay in Sigatoka and the Coral Coast!

1. Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort

True Fijian culture mixed with luxury is what a holiday at the Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort is all about. While the resort caters fantastically to couples and friendship groups with its adults-only pool and bar, we get the most excited about their family services. The kids’ club is often praised for being one of the best in Fiji, giving Mum and Dad time to unwind at their Bebe Spa, go scuba diving or something else. Rooms are sleek and simple yet well-appointed, not that you’ll spend much time there with so much to do at the resort. End your day at one of their superb dining venues, from the Sundowner Bar & Grill to their fine dining Ivi Restaurant. See more resorts like this in our 10 Best Family Resorts on the Coral Coast.
