© Tanoa Waterfront Hotel

Hotels in Lautoka, Tavua, Rakiraki and Beyond

The Suncoast is a vast region of Fiji covering the northern half of the main island, Viti Levu. With a network of roads, it’s one of the few areas in Fiji ideal for renting a car and hitting the road. With that, there are plenty of cheap hotels to stop in for a quick stay along the way. Otherwise, there is a small selection of more up-market hotels should you want to treat yourself. Check out your options with this list of hotels on the Suncoast.

There is a TV lounge, an outdoor swimming pool and a bar, but the dining room is only open for breakfast.
