The Most Recognisable Places in Fiji

Seen a photo of Fiji and want to know where it is from. Chances are, it appears on this list of the most famous locations in Fiji. We’ve put together a list of Fiji’s recognisable places, whether they’re popular landmarks, natural wonders or resorts. Take a look and start making your bucket list for visiting some of Fiji’s most iconic places.

Table of Contents

1. Sawa-i-Lau Caves (Yasawa Islands)

Nestled in the Blue Lagoon of the Yasawa Islands, the Sawa-i-Lau Caves are a must-visit attraction steeped in Fijian legend. These stunning limestone caves are said to be the final resting place of Ulutini, a 10-headed Fijian god.

From nearby resorts like the Blue Lagoon Beach Resort and Coconut Beach Resort, you can take boat trips to swim inside these iconic caves. For a quieter experience, we recommend booking an afternoon trip rather than a morning one.

Alternatively, you can soar over the islands on a seaplane tour with Turtle Airways for a bird’s-eye view of this natural wonder. Trust us, it’s an adventure you won’t want to miss!

Location: Sawa-i-Lau Island, Yasawa Islands. For more details on getting there, check out How to Get to the Sawa-i-Lau Caves in Fiji.
