The Top Holiday Resorts in Sigatoka and the Coral Coast

This is what “Fiji Time” is all about; cocktail in hand, feet in the sand, and the luxury to be able to do absolutely nothing… That’s pretty much the essence of a resort holiday on the Coral Coast of Fiji. What’s more, you’ll have it in one of the most stunning stretches of coastline the islands have to offer. Check out where to relax, rejuvenate and refresh with this list of resorts on the Coral Coast! There’s something to suit all styles, moods and budgets.

1. Mango Bay Resort

Mango Bay Resort shows us that we don’t need to pay a premium to enjoy a spectacular resort holiday in Fiji. The budget to mid-range resort allows guests to immerse in nature with their “Beachfront” and “Garden Villas” nestled in tropical gardens and blending with the surroundings. The resort has plenty on offer for all kinds of travellers, from families with money to spare on exciting glass-bottom boat tours, scuba diving and cruises to the budget traveller wanting to load up on the free inclusions like Fijian cooking classes, snorkelling and kayaking.

2. 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.
