The Cost of Accommodation in Fiji
Accommodation is available in Fiji to suit a range of styles and budgets. Unlike elsewhere in the world, accommodation tends to be more than just a bed for the night, but a complete experience.

You need to book your accommodation for Fiji before you arrive, as it is one of the requirements for entering the country. Furthermore, it’s best to book accommodation well in advance, as rooms are booked up quickly, especially in the Fiji dry season.

Is Food More Expensive on the Outer Islands of Fiji?
Good news! Food prices on the outer islands of Fiji won’t break the bank. Thanks to consumer protection laws, the cost of groceries remains fairly consistent across the archipelago. You’ll only see a slight bump in prices as you venture further from the main island of Viti Levu. Curious about specific food prices? Check out the FCCC’s Price Control (Food Item Prices) Order 2021. You can find all the details on the FCCC website (we love a bit of light reading on holiday, don’t you?).
