Nightlife in Denarau

Denarau Island on Viti Levu is another popular place for bars in Fiji. While it doesn’t have much of a “party” scene, it does have a few fun bars to relax with a drink, listen to music, and sometimes listen to live music while mingling with other travellers and holidaymakers.

The great thing about the nightlife in Port Denarau is that it’s all within walking distance. Just head to the waterfront, and everything is there.

Port Denarau Marina Bars

Bonefish Seafood Restaurant offers waterfront seating and unique cocktails. Don’t miss the interactive Shark Attack drink or the special The Long Journey – an egg white and maple syrup mixture that comes with its own name card.

At Indigo, you’ll find a surprisingly good drink selection for an Indian restaurant, including the Indigo Spice, a spiced gin cocktail that captures India’s aromatic essence.

Fiji Nightlife on the Islands and Floating Bars

Away from the mainland, you can find awesome nightlife on some of the island resorts.

Seventh Heaven Floating Bar

Set above a stunning coral reef in the Mamanuca Islands, Seventh Heaven takes the concept of a beach bar to new heights (or should we say, depths?). As you approach by boat, the thumping beats and lively atmosphere will have you itching to join the party.

Once aboard, you’ll find yourself spoilt for choice with an array of tropical cocktails, beers, and wines. With a sprawling 550 square metres of space, there’s plenty of room to lounge, dine, or dance the day away.

And if you’re feeling adventurous, why not try your hand at the afternoon limbo competition? Just remember, what happens at Seventh Heaven, stays at Seventh Heaven!

Cloud 9 Floating Bar

What’s that? Another floating bar?! The Cloud 9 floating bar is a spectacular place to spend the day. It’s a beautiful location to relax with friends or your partner, whether it’s on the sun loungers with a drink or woodfired pizza in hand or out on the water snorkelling above a glorious coral reef.

Boat trips to Cloud 9 depart from Port Denarau regularly, and tickets include a bar tab.

Malamala Beach Club

Be whisked away to the private island at the Malamala Beach Club. The island has many amazing facilities for a day of fun or relaxation, including an infinity pool and free access to snorkeling gear, stand-up paddleboards and kayaks. Most importantly, the beach club has a bar – a place you’ll want to hang out with friends all day or have a romantic dinner.

The island bar serves imported wines, beers, handcrafted tropical cocktails (try the insane Corona cocktail) as well as delectable sharing platters. Trips to the island are available with South Sea Cruises.

Lailai Lounge Floating Bar

Fiji’s little-known floating bar, the Lailai Lounge, can be found in the Beqa Lagoon and is the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the tropical vibes. Picture yourself lounging on bean bags, sipping cocktails from the bar, and indulging in a delicious buffet – all while surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of Fiji.

For the adventurous, snorkelling and banana boat rides are on offer. And if you’re in the mood for some extra pampering, why not treat yourself to a massage?

With daily openings and its proximity to Lawaki Resort and a nearby sandbar, Lailai Lounge offers an ideal blend of relaxation and adventure for all types of travellers.

Beachcomber Island

Back on dry land, consider staying at Beachcomber Island Resort if you want to experience some of the best nightlife on the island. The island is popular with backpackers, with nightly entertainment such as limbo competitions, fire eaters, fire dancers and the famous “Bula dance”.

Where to Find More Party Islands

Other island resorts will have bars and restaurants for casual dining and evening meals, rather than “partying” and nightlife. However, your best bet to meet people to have drinks with is in the backpacker accommodations around the Mamanuca Islands and Yasawa Islands.

Nightlife on Vanua Levu (Savusavu)

Vanua Levu is home to a couple of Fiji’s larger towns. With that comes some excellent watering holes and nightclubs. If you’re looking for a place to meet up with friends, relax with a refreshing Fiji beer or mingle with the locals, then check out the nightlife in Savusavu and Labasa.

Casual Bars in Savusavu

While the Savusavu Yacht Club at the Copra Shed Marina is a popular go-to for yachties, try the upstairs bar at the Waitui Marina serving cheap food and drinks. Another popular bar to try in Savusavu is the historic Planters’ Club.

Nightclubs in Savusavu and Labasa

If a party atmosphere is what you’re looking for, House of Yes and Rebels are two fantastic options. At House of Yes, you’ll find a multicultural vibe with DJs spinning a mix of reggae, pop, and everything in between.

The security is tight, but you can wear anything you like. Rebels, on the other hand, offers a slightly different experience. While the security isn’t as tight, it’s still perfectly fine. They’re known for having the best music, with a resident DJ keeping the party going.

On the other side of the island, Labasa has a vibrant nightclub scene with the Pontoon and Fusion nightclubs blasting Bollywood tunes until 1 am.

10 Final Tips for Partying in Fiji

Now that you have wised up about nightlife in Fiji, here are some final quick tips!

2. Happy hours in resorts tend to be between 5:30-6:30 pm (but check out our happy hour list below for the specifics).
3. Happy hours in bars outside of resorts are pretty much all night long, so there’s no need to rush.

7. Nightclubs in Fiji generally close at 1 am.
8. Keep your belongings secure and be cautious, especially in crowded places.
