Where to Find Wellness Retreats in Fiji

Fiji is a pretty huge archipelago of 333 islands, so simply choosing a “retreat in Fiji” can be an overwhelming experience. We recommend narrowing down your search for retreats by choosing an island group that has regular retreats, as well as piques your interest.

Wellness Retreats in Viti Levu

Viti Levu is the largest island in Fiji and the arrival island for international flights. If you want to remove the stress and expense of overwater travel, this island is a good place to investigate further. Viti Levu certainly has no lack of retreats, with luxury resorts in Denarau hosting regular retreats, as well as resorts along the Coral Coast offering a mix of yoga and surf retreats. Learn more about these regions in The Complete Guide to Denarau Island and The Complete Guide to the Coral Coast.

Wellness Retreats in Vanua Levu

Vanua Levu is Fiji’s second-largest island but much less visited, making it the ideal destination for tranquillity. Much of the island is covered in lush tropical forest and coconut plantations, making it a scene to connect with nature. A few of the accommodations around Savusavu not only host regular wellness retreats but also have their own wellness and health programs. Check out The Complete Guide to Vanua Levu to learn more about the island.

Wellness Retreats in the Lomaiviti Islands

If looking for a small island retreat, a resort in the Lomaiviti Islands just off the coast of Suva offers wellness retreats. The islands are also known for their colonial history, reefs and turtle conservation. Learn more in The Complete Guide to the Lomaiviti Islands.
