The Most Unique Resorts and Places to Stay in Fiji

Authentic Insights from Expert Travel Writers

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 accommodations in Fiji in the list below!

1. Seventh Heaven (Mamanuca Islands)

Experience ultimate luxury and absolute uniqueness at Seventh Heaven, a floating paradise in the Mamanuca Islands.

This exclusive glamping-style accommodation offers a private king suite with an attached lounge on the second storey. With space for up to six adults, Seventh Heaven promises an unforgettable Fijian escape for a surprisingly good price!

Your adventure begins with a 3 pm pickup from Port Denarau, whisking you away to your own slice of heaven. From 4 pm until 9:30 am the next day, Seventh Heaven is all yours.

Indulge in a seven-course sunset dinner, sip champagne as the sun dips below the horizon, and wake up to a sunrise champagne breakfast. The all-inclusive package features a fully stocked bar, your own personal chef and host, and unique experiences like crafting your signature cocktail.

Pamper yourself with a complimentary massage and create lasting memories with a personalised snorkelling tour. Plant a piece of coral in the garden to leave your mark on this tropical paradise.

2. Gipsea (Nadi)

The ocean is a core part of Fiji life, so it only makes sense to stay on it during your visit! Gipsea is a 46 ft 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 (unless you pay extra to charter the yacht) 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.

3. The Remote Resort (Vanua Levu/Taveuni)

Whether you’re newlyweds or on a girlfriend’s getaway, The Remote Resort offers a truly unique experience with its private destination dining. Each evening, you’ll be whisked away to a new enchanting location around the resort for dinner (included in your stay).

Imagine savouring exquisite cuisine under the stars on a secluded beach one night, then dining in a lush tropical garden the next. This ever-changing culinary journey perfectly complements the resort’s eight remote luxury villas, each with its own private pool, nestled among coconut palms on a secluded peninsula.

While your villa is a haven of tranquillity, you’ll find yourself drawn to the famed Rainbow Reef right on your doorstep. Snorkelling or scuba diving is a must, as is swimming with manta rays.

Although located on Vanua Levu, the resort is just a 20-minute boat ride from Taveuni, making it an easily accessible slice of paradise.

4. Barefoot Manta Island Resort (Yasawa Islands)

Barefoot Manta Island Resort offers a unique accommodation experience in the Yasawas. This eco-focused resort is a marine conservation haven, boasting some of the best snorkelling off the beach in Fiji.

The resort’s Marine Conservation Centre is a highlight, while complimentary snorkelling tours and “try scuba dive” experiences await adventure seekers.

The rooms merge effortlessly with the surrounding environment, where birds flutter among the trees. The resort features three distinct beaches, each catering to families, couples and dormitory guests in separate areas.

Be sure to join them for their weekly cultural night featuring meke dance, kava ceremonies, and traditional Fijian cuisine.

With hidden gems like the sunset bar, this corner of Drawaqa Island is well worth exploring. For diving enthusiasts, check out our 15 Best Dive Resorts in Fiji!

5. Grand Pacific Hotel (Suva)

There’s nowhere like the Grand Pacific Hotel in Suva, Fiji’s only five-star hotel. Standing as an iconic heritage building on the capital’s waterfront, the Grand Pacific Hotel is home to luxury heritage rooms with colonial flair, some of which are named after their most prestigious guests, such as Queen Elizabeth.

The 100+-year-old hotel is adorned with several fabulous restaurants and Suva’s only fine dining establishment, as well as the indulgent Bliss Spa.

6. Matangi Private Island Resort (Taveuni)

Set on its own private island in the less-visited Taveuni island group, Matangi Private Island Resort is an adults-only getaway with a difference. One of the resort’s accommodation offerings is a split-level treehouse suspended in the tropical jungle.

What’s more, the island’s three treehouses are wrapped in luxury, consisting of 79 m² (850 ft²) of a private deck, an outdoor lava rock shower, an outdoor spa pool, a four-poster king-sized bed, and much much more.

7. Likiliku Lagoon Resort (Mamanuca Islands)

Winding across a turquoise ocean lagoon, the overwater bures of the Likuliku Lagoon Resort provide a unique stay in Fiji.

Sure, there are other overwater bungalows in Fiji, which we list in the 5 Best Overwater Bungalows in Fiji, but the bungalows at Likuliku Lagoon are the only ones constructed with traditional Fijian flair. Their thatched roofs and construction of materials unique to the local region are really on-theme.

You’ll find this exclusive accommodation in the Mamanuca Islands along with the 20 Best Resorts in the Mamanuca Islands.

8. Blue Lagoon Cruises

Blue Lagoon Cruises offers an outstanding way to explore the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands with their adults-only small-ship cruises. What sets them apart is the generous time spent onshore, with most dinners served in authentic Fijian villages or on picturesque beaches.

These cruises provide exceptional value, including all meals, a sparkling wine and gift pack on arrival, a wide range of activities, and even complimentary laundry service. With only four hours of daily cruising, you’ll have ample time to immerse yourself in island life.

We recommend the 7-night cruise for the full experience, though shorter options are available for time-constrained travellers. All cruises depart from Denarau on Viti Levu.

9. Yasawa Homestays (Yasawa Islands)

Get ready for an authentic Fijian experience with Yasawa Homestays on Nacula Island. This isn’t your typical resort stay; it’s a chance to immerse yourself in the heart of Fijian village life while enjoying the comfort of traditional beachfront bures.

These delightful thatched-roof cottages, made from local materials, provide an ideal mix of rustic charm and island comfort. With three beds in each bure, you’ll have your own private sanctuary right on the golden sands (or at least pretty close by).

What sets this experience apart is the unique dining arrangement. Each night, you’ll share meals with different families in the Naisisili village in the Yasawa Islands, giving you a new perspective on local life and cuisine with every sunset. It’s a cultural immersion that goes beyond the typical tourist experience – no two stays are ever the same!

When you’re not soaking up village life, dive into island activities. Snorkel straight off the beach to explore vibrant coral reefs, hike through lush tropical landscapes, or join your hosts for a fishing expedition.

10. The Fiji Orchid (Lautoka)

Located only 15 km (9 mi) north of Nadi International Airport just outside of the town of Lautoka, The Fiji Orchid makes an excellent place to start your journey on the Suncoast. Nestled among breathtaking orchid gardens, The Fiji Orchid has six freestanding bures in its own secluded section of the garden.

The tented architecture of the bures is unique in Fiji with each wrapped in luxury, perfect for couples. There is a restaurant, cocktail bar and swimming pool on site.

Finally, the hilltop sleepout on the private Dolphin Island provides another unique accommodation experience in Fiji.

Couples can stay in the open-air bure on the island, which is beautifully designed with local timbers, a thatched roof and lit by lanterns and candles for a rustic-meets-luxury experience.
