Where is the best place to stay in Nadi?

The best place to stay in Nadi depends on your preferences and budget. For luxury seekers, Denarau Island offers high-end resorts with excellent amenities. Budget travellers might prefer staying in Nadi Town or nearby areas like Wailoaloa Beach, where you’ll find more affordable hotels and hostels.
