20 Best Boutique Resorts in Fiji 🌺 [2024]

Our Recommended Boutique Accommodations in Fiji

The islands of Fiji are one of the special destinations that deserve a special place to stay. Substitute the busy resort for something a little more exclusive by staying in boutique resorts in Fiji. Fiji boutique accommodations come in the form of resorts on private islands, luxurious lodges and small hotels where you are one of the very few welcomed guests. With typically less than 30 rooms, you can be sure that your needs will be catered to. So swap the busy poolside for your own private pool or beachfront bure, the continental breakfast buffet for an in-residence dining experience, and see what type of luxury you could be living in with this list of Fiji boutique resorts and accommodations.
