Resorts like the Nanuku Auberge Resort offer amazing kids’ clubs where your children are sure to be stimulated throughout the day. It’s a great way for children to meet others their own age while playing beach games or learning to play Fijian warrior drums, for example. Meanwhile, mum and dad can enjoy some much deserved R&R time. Alternatively, resorts like the Beqa Lagoon Resort and ULTIQA Fiji Palms Resort offer babysitting services.
