Where to Stay on the Pacific Harbour and Beqa Island
You’re in the real Fiji now. As soon as you leave the main hubs of Nadi or Suva, you leave the “hotels” behind and enter the realm of the island resorts and glorious holiday villas, as is much the case with the Pacific Harbour and the offshore Beqa Island. This means stepping into holiday mode, usually involving a pool to relax by, a restaurant or bar to sip cocktails at, and a tour desk to start discovering why they call the Pacific Harbour the “Adventure Capital”. We’ll list all the resorts/hotels, apartments and villas, as well as some other damn good accommodations in this list of the best hostels and places to stay on the Pacific Harbour and Beqa Island!
