At Your Hotel or Resort

The most obvious choice for travellers seeking WiFi is to use their hotel or resort’s public WiFi.

More and more of Fiji’s hotels and resorts are offering free WiFi to all guests. WiFi is almost a standard in hotels and resorts in Fiji’s popular centres, like Nadi, Denarau, the Coral Coast and Suva. The number of resorts on Fiji’s outer islands offering WiFi is very limited in comparison and often comes at a cost.

Note that when many resorts around Fiji say they have free WiFi, it’s usually only available in the communal areas, like the resort restaurant or around the pool area. Some resorts offer in-room WiFi for a fee.

Why not make your phone a WiFi hotspot? There are two major phone networks in Fiji, Vodafone and Digicel, offering free tourist SIM cards where you can purchase data bundles. Then, wherever you can get phone coverage, you can get access to the internet. Most smartphones have a WiFi tethering feature where you can make your phone a WiFi hotspot to connect other devices to the network.
