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.
Check out the 5 Best Budget Accommodations in the Mamanuca Islands and 10 Best Budget Accommodations in the Yasawa Islands for more details.

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

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.
