Destinations Visited in Our Fiji Itineraries for 3 Days
Choosing a weekend destination among the 333 islands of Fiji can be pretty overwhelming. So let’s break it down to the main destinations mentioned in the three-day itineraries listed below.
Viti Levu
Viti Levu is Fiji’s largest island where most arrive in Fiji at Nadi International Airport. Some of the itineraries below visit destinations around Viti Levu within a 10-minute to two-hour drive from the airport. These destinations include Nadi, Denarau and the Coral Coast.
Mamanuca Islands and Yasawa Islands
These two island groups are the easiest island groups to reach from Nadi, making them ideal for a weekend trip. The tourism scene is well-developed on the islands with a diverse range of resorts, yet the islands themselves are blissfully undeveloped. The island groups hold a mix of volcanic islands and uninhabited coral islands. Find out more in The Complete Guide to the Mamanuca Islands and The Complete Guide to the Yasawa Islands.

© FijiPocketGuide.com3 Final Tips for Visiting Fiji in 3 Days
Let’s face it: not everyone has time! Here are some tips to help you make the most of your time in Fiji.
- Look out for resorts that offer complimentary airport transfers. There really is a lot! Free transfers also imply that they are not too far away from the airport, so you will have time to get there and back.
- Choose to spend your time in Nadi, the Coral Coast, Vuda, Lautoka, Denarau or the Mamanuca Islands. Remember those names: they are the closest holiday destinations to the airport.
- Don’t plan everything on a super tight schedule. It’s not a joke when people say that Fiji runs on “Fiji time“.
