The Best Places to Go Shopping in Fiji

A vibrant shopping scene awaits on Fiji’s main island, Viti Levu, with shopping centres and markets in the island’s main towns, as well as boutique stores scattered elsewhere on the island.

Fiji’s second-largest island, Vanua Levu, is fast becoming a shopping hub with its array of artisanal products. The cosmopolitan vibe doesn’t exactly extend to the outer islands of Fiji, but you will find the odd hidden gems at smaller markets, handicraft stalls and resort gift shops.

Denarau Island

Denarau Island offers a luxurious shopping experience at the Port Denarau Shopping Centre. This bustling hub is a favourite among tourists and locals alike, boasting a diverse array of shops, boutiques, and eateries.

You’ll find everything from high-end jewellery stores to quaint gift shops selling local handicrafts. Be sure to take advantage of the opportunity to purchase authentic Fijian souvenirs or enjoy some relaxation at the on-site spa and nail salons.

Shopping here combines modern amenities with a tropical ambience for a delightful mix of convenience and island charm. Check out Information, Shops & Services in Denarau to learn more.

Suva

Suva, Fiji’s capital, offers a vibrant shopping scene that caters to all tastes and budgets. The heart of the action is the lively Suva Municipal Market, where you can engage yourself in local culture while browsing fresh produce, spices, and handmade crafts.

For a more modern experience, head to TappooCity Suva, a sleek shopping centre offering both local and international brands at competitive prices. The MHCC (Morris Hedstrom City Center) is Fiji’s largest mall, boasting over 20 stores and a diverse food court. Don’t forget to visit the Suva Handicraft Centre for unique, locally-made souvenirs.

It’s the perfect place to pick up unique souvenirs and support local artisans.

For fresh produce and a taste of local life, the Nadi Market is a must-visit. Modern shoppers will appreciate familiar brands at Jack’s of Fiji and Prouds, while the newly built My FNPF Centre offers additional retail therapy options.

FAQ About Shopping in Fiji

Now that you know about the shopping scene in Fiji, here are the answers to the internet’s frequently asked questions about retail therapy in this tropical paradise!

Is Fiji good for shopping?

Fiji offers a unique shopping experience with a mix of traditional markets, duty-free stores, and souvenir shops. While it may not be a global shopping destination, you’ll find plenty of authentic Fijian crafts, local produce, and duty-free goods.

The markets in Suva and Nadi are particularly enjoyable for bargain hunters and those seeking local flavour.

Does Fiji have luxury shopping?

Luxury shopping in Fiji is limited but available, primarily in upscale resorts and at Port Denarau. Particularly, the retail brand Prouds is your higher-end option. You’ll find some international brands and high-end local boutiques offering designer clothing, jewellery, and accessories.

However, don’t expect the same range as in major international cities.

Can you buy clothes in Fiji?

Yes, you can buy clothes in Fiji. Local markets and shops offer colourful tropical wear, including the popular sulu (sarong). You’ll also find Western-style clothing in shopping centres, especially in larger towns like Suva and Nadi. Many resorts have boutiques selling beachwear and casual clothing.

For more information, check out our What to Pack for Fiji guide.

Are things cheaper in Fiji?

Some items can be cheaper in Fiji, particularly local produce, handicrafts, and certain duty-free goods. However, imported items tend to be more expensive due to shipping costs. Luxury goods and electronics are generally not cheaper than in other countries. Bargaining at local markets can help you snag good deals on souvenirs and crafts.

For more information, check out our Fiji Travel Budget: How Much Does a Trip to Fiji Cost?

What are the best souvenirs to buy in Fiji?

Fiji offers a range of unique souvenirs that capture the essence of the islands. Popular choices include handwoven baskets, traditional tapa cloth, carved wooden items like tanoa bowls, and vibrant sulu (sarongs).

For those seeking edible treats, Fiji’s Pure Fiji coconut products, locally grown kava, and Fiji Sea Salt make great gifts.

Jewellery made from local materials like mother-of-pearl or black pearls is also highly sought after, although note that many of these products are made across the South Pacific rather than just in Fiji, so be sure to ask if this is important to you. Remember to purchase from reputable sources to ensure authenticity and support local artisans.

For more information, check out our 20 Best Souvenirs from Fiji guide.

Are there any shopping malls in Fiji?

Yes, Fiji has several shopping malls, particularly in larger urban areas. The most notable is Port Denarau Shopping Centre on Denarau Island, offering a mix of local and international brands, restaurants, and duty-free shops. In Suva, you’ll find the MHCC (Morris Hedstrom City Center) and TappooCity malls.

Nadi also has a few smaller shopping complexes. While these malls provide modern shopping experiences, they’re not as extensive as those found in larger countries. For a more authentic Fijian shopping experience, local markets are highly recommended.

What are the best places for duty-free shopping in Fiji?

Fiji offers several excellent duty-free shopping options. The most popular locations include Nadi International Airport and Port Denarau, both of which have a wide range of duty-free stores. At Nadi International Airport, you’ll find Tappoo and Prouds duty-free outlets.

Suva also has duty-free shopping options, particularly around the cruise ship port. These stores offer competitive prices on items like perfumes, electronics, jewellery, and local products. Remember to check your allowances before purchasing, as limits apply when leaving Fiji.
