Luxury Accommodation on the Suncoast, Fiji
The Suncoast of Fiji provides a different kind of luxury than what’s found elsewhere in Fiji: it’s utterly off the beaten track. While the five-star accommodation options of the Suncoast are not as abundant, what you will find are private islands and villas ready to give you a bespoke experience. There are also four-star resorts with luxury accommodation options in the most exclusive reaches of their premises that are easily mistaken for being its own private island. So for a special occasion or ” just because”, here are some of the best luxury resorts on the Suncoast.

1. Dolphin Island
Dolphin Island is not just the idealistic notion of a tranquil retreat in Fiji: it’s the real deal. This 14-acre (6ha) private island off the shores of the less-visited Suncoast sleeps a maximum of seven guests at one time. What’s more, there are no restrictions about who can divulge on an island holiday on the island – both couples and families are welcome. You have an option of three luxury accommodations on the island, starting with the elevated Main Bure in the centre of the island leading out to the infinity pool and outdoor lounging area. There are also the Guest Suites complete with generous dressing rooms and a sculptural free-standing bath – a romantic setting for couples. Or enhance the romance at the Hilltop Sleep-Out Bure, a rustic open-air bedroom traditionally thatched and lit by candles. If you can resist leaving your luxurious abode, signature activities on the island include scuba diving, fishing, cultural tours, kayaking and spa treatments. Check out some of those experiences in 10 Luxury Activities on the Suncoast.

On top of having all the amenities for a “home-away-from-home” stay, Bularangi has its own private pool, five decks for entertaining and a waterfront bure on the second level of the garden. While you have the opportunity to prepare your own meals in the well-appointed kitchen, the chambermaid is on-call to prepare authentic Fijian meals in your villa or to organise experiences, mostly in cohesion with the surrounding resorts.
