Where to Find Amazing Hot Pools in Fiji
Fiji is made up of three main types of islands: coral islands, limestone islands and volcanic islands. Due to the latter, many of Fiji’s islands have hidden hot springs used for bathing and/or cooking food. While most of Fiji’s hot springs can only be visited with a local guide, there are a couple of natural hot springs in Fiji that are open to visitors! We’ll go through the best hot springs to visit in Fiji, as well as popular resorts and spas to try when looking for a relaxing Fiji hot pool experience.

1. Sabeto Hot Springs (Nadi, Viti Levu)
The Sabeto Hot Springs, also known as the Sabeto Mud Baths, offer a fun and relaxing experience just a short drive from Nadi. For around FJ$30 per adult, visitors can enjoy a unique mud bath and hot pool experience. The process involves lathering your body with wet mud, letting it dry on your skin, and then washing it off in four naturally sourced hot pools. These shaded hot pools provide stunning views of the Sabeto mountains, creating an attractive setting for your therapeutic soak. The springs boast various facilities, including sheltered communal changing areas, separate male and female changing rooms, toilets, and a souvenir shop. You can also indulge in a massage or sometimes purchase Fijian-style dishes prepared by local villagers. Visiting these hot pools is included on many of the 10 Best Day Tours from Nadi.

You’ll love this hidden gem a short drive from Savusavu. As you sink into the hot pool, you’ll feel the organic-rich mud exfoliating your skin – it’s nature’s spa treatment! The deeper you dig your toes, the hotter it gets. Locals swear by its healing properties, claiming it soothes aching joints and brings a sense of tranquillity. After your soak, you’ll emerge with silky smooth skin that feels absolutely fabulous. While taxis can easily take you there, buses don’t stop at this natural wonder.

Venture to Savusavu on Fiji’s second-largest island, Vanua Levu, and you’ll find the Nakama Hot Springs. While there are several hot springs lining the beach of Savusavu, which are only seen steaming at low tide, the most popular hot springs to visit are those in the town. The Nakama Hot Springs can be experienced by watching the locals use the springs as a natural kitchen. Food is dipped into the springs for boiling, and steam is used to steam food. Information boards around the attractive picnic area give details on the geothermal activity of the area. With the hot spring water being around 100°C (212°F), needless to say, bathing directly in the hot springs is not advised!
Location: Nakama Road, Savusavu. Behind the Max Value store and across the road from the Savusavu Hot Springs Hotel. Check out more things to do in Vanua Levu here.
