Unique Stays in Fiji
Fiji is already a special island destination with unique cultures, activities and more. But if you want to make your stay here extra special, why not stay in one of Fiji’s unique resorts, homestays, beach houses, treehouses and something else? We go over the most unique accommodation in Fiji in the list below…
1. Gipsea
The ocean is a core part of Fiji life, so it only makes sense to stay on it during your visit! Gipsea is a 46ft yacht moored just off the sandy shores of Wailoaloa Beach in Nadi. While she has sailed extensively throughout the South Pacific, she’s now yours for the night as a unique accommodation in Fiji. Sure, you won’t be going anywhere but it’s a fun experience to be had being rocked to sleep by the gentle ocean waters. The yacht has a kitchen, toilet, an outdoor shower and a lounge area. There are lilos out on the deck should you want to kick back under the stars. Check out similar but different accommodation in the 5 Unique Boat Stays in Fiji.
