Fiji
Selected entries from the current guide for Fiji.
Wakaya Island, Fiji
Baravi Lai Lai belongs to Wakaya Island’s small-scale dining world, where the setting matters because supply chains, weather and island access shape what can sensibly appear on the table. Read it less as a conventional city restaurant and more as part of Fiji’s resort-island food culture, with beach proximity and ingredient pragmatism defining the experience.
Viti Levu, Fiji
Beachside Cabana Dining puts the meal in the foreground of Natadola Bay rather than treating the shoreline as decoration. The appeal is the cabana format itself: open-air, close to the sand, and suited to readers comparing Viti Levu’s resort dining with more conventional restaurant rooms across the island.
Nadi, Fiji
On Wailoaloa Road in Nadi, Daikoku Restaurant occupies a specific niche in a town where Asian dining options span several traditions. The address places it within reach of both resort visitors and local regulars, and the name signals Japanese lineage in a city where Chinese and Korean formats dominate the Asian dining scene. Booking ahead is advisable, particularly during the peak visitor season.
Nadi, Fiji
Dongsheng's Restaurant (东盛海鲜餐厅) occupies the first floor of the Aliz Center Martinar in central Nadi, positioning itself within the small but active tier of Chinese and seafood dining that serves both the local community and visiting travellers. The name signals a seafood focus, placing it in a category where fresh catch and Cantonese-influenced preparation tend to define the offer in Pacific Chinese restaurants of this type.
Nadi, Fiji
Korean BBQ has found an unlikely outpost in Nadi, Fiji, where Gen Korean BBQ House brings the communal grill-table format to a city better known for resort buffets and Fijian staples. The dining ritual here centres on the table grill itself, with meats cooked to order and the meal paced by the diners rather than the kitchen. For visitors looking beyond resort dining, it represents a distinct change of register.
Nadi, Fiji
In the Namaka district of Nadi, LC's Chinese Restaurant occupies a familiar position in Fiji's Chinese dining tradition: a neighbourhood-oriented room where the food draws on long-established Cantonese and regional Chinese cooking rather than resort-facing fusion. For travellers moving through Nadi's commercial corridor, it represents the kind of local Chinese table that sustains a community rather than performs for tourists.
Port Denarau, Fiji
At Port Denarau's The Cove, Nadina Authentic Fijian Restaurant makes the case that Fiji's indigenous culinary traditions deserve the same serious attention given to any Pacific regional cuisine. The kitchen draws on local sourcing as both a philosophy and a practice, placing lovo-style cooking and root vegetable traditions at the centre of the menu rather than the margins. For visitors eating their way through the resort strip, Nadina represents the clearest available argument for staying on the archipelago's own terms.

Selected entries from the current guide for Fiji.
Malolo Island, Fiji
On Malolo Island, Six Senses Fiji occupies 120 acres of protected bay with 24 pool villas and multi-bedroom residences designed to echo a traditional Fijian village. The property earned 90.5 points on La Liste's 2026 Top Hotels ranking and runs entirely on solar power, with four dining venues drawing on an onsite organic garden. A 30- to 45-minute speedboat transfer from Port Denarau Marina keeps it deliberately removed from the mainstream Fiji circuit.
Laucala Island, Fiji
In the remote Koro Sea, COMO Laucala Island occupies five square miles of rainforest, reef, and coconut groves across 25 secluded villas built from thatch, timber, and stone. Named Tatler Asia-Pacific Best Resort 2025 and placed on La Liste's Top Hotels list at 91.5 points, the property operates at the summit of Fiji's private-island tier, with rates available on request only.
Vanua Levu Island, Fiji
Eight villas on an isolated peninsula along Fiji's Rainbow Reef, The Remote Resort operates at the intersection of private-house seclusion and full hotel services.
Yaukuve Levu Island, Fiji
On a 140-acre private island within Fiji's Kadavu archipelago, Kokomo sits against the Great Astrolabe Reef with 21 beachfront villas and five hilltop residences, each with its own infinity pool. Ranked among the World's 50 Best Hotels (2024, #50) and awarded 94 points by La Liste in 2026, it operates at the smaller, higher-touch end of Fiji's private island tier, where curation depth matters more than resort scale.
Vanua Levu Island, Fiji
On Vanua Levu's Savusavu Bay, this 25-bure resort built on a former coconut plantation operates at the intersection of conservation and hospitality. All meals are included, a full-time marine biologist leads reef programming, and the absence of in-room televisions and telephones is a deliberate design choice, not an oversight. It is one of the more coherent arguments in Fiji for slowing down completely.
Pacific Harbour, Fiji
On 500 acres of Fijian beachfront at Pacific Harbour, Nanuku Resort distributes its residences, suites, and villas across lush gardens in a design that privileges space and seclusion over density. Voted #2 Resort in the South Pacific by Condé Nast Traveler's 2022 Reader's Choice Awards, it sits in the uppermost tier of Fiji's barefoot-luxury category, where scale of land and quality of hosting matter as much as room count.
Dolphin Island, Fiji
Dolphin Island is a 14-acre private island off the coast of Viti Levu, accommodating no more than eight guests under an exclusive-use policy. Four thatched-roof bures blend open-air tropical architecture with dark heartwood interiors and freestanding baths. Daily menus built around a local fisherman's catch, complimentary water sports, and a Hilltop Sleep-Out Bure position this as one of Fiji's most intimate escapes.
Taveuni Island, Fiji
Raiwasa operates as a fully exclusive-use resort on Taveuni Island, taking over the entire property for a single group at a time. The design centres on an infinity pool oriented toward open ocean, with a dedicated team covering cuisine, spa, and service for the duration of each stay. It sits within a small tier of Fiji properties built around total privacy rather than amenity scale.
Viti Levu, Fiji
Set on Natadola Bay along Viti Levu's south-western coast, InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa occupies 35 acres of beachside tropical gardens, roughly 55 minutes from Nadi International Airport. The resort's layout echoes a traditional Fijian village, placing it firmly in the category of large-footprint properties that trade scale for a sense of place, backed by award-winning service delivered with characteristic Fijian warmth.
Yaro, Fiji
Likuliku Lagoon Resort sits on Malolo Island off Fiji's Mamanuca coast, operating in a tier of overwater and beachfront properties where architectural restraint and lagoon access define the competitive hierarchy. A considered choice for travellers prioritising place over amenity lists.
Savusavu, Fiji
On Vanua Levu's northern coast, Namale sits in the smaller, more deliberate tier of Fiji's luxury resort market, a property scaled for privacy rather than volume. Its 2026 La Liste recognition at 95 points places it among a short list of Pacific properties held to global hospitality standards. For those who find Fiji's larger international resorts too diffuse, Namale offers a more concentrated version of what the archipelago does well.
Matei, Fiji
Named Oceania's Leading Boutique Resort at the 2025 World Travel Awards, Taveuni Palms Resort sits on Fiji's Garden Island, among the more biodiverse stretches of the South Pacific. The property operates at a deliberately small scale, placing guests inside a rainforest-edged coastal setting that most of Fiji's larger resorts cannot replicate.
Nadi, Fiji
The Fiji Orchid holds the 2025 World Travel Awards title for World's Leading Boutique Airport Hotel, placing it in a narrow category of properties that manage to deliver genuine hospitality quality within the operational constraints of an airport-adjacent location. For travellers transiting through Nadi International Airport, it offers a considered alternative to the impersonal corridor hotels that dominate this segment globally.
Matei, Fiji
Tides Reach Resort sits on Matei Point at Fiji's Taveuni Island, earning a 96.5-point score in the 2026 La Liste Top Hotels ranking. The property occupies among the more biodiverse reef systems in the Pacific and draws guests seeking remote, water-focused immersion over resort-scale amenities. Access is via light aircraft from Nadi, making advance planning essential.
Yasawa Islands, Fiji
Turtle Island occupies Nanuya Levu in the Yasawa Islands, one of Fiji's most remote and carefully controlled private-island addresses. The property has carried near-mythical status in the premium travel circuit for decades, operating at a scale and guest-to-land ratio that keeps it in a different conversation from larger Fijian resorts. Access is by seaplane or charter, and the island functions as an all-inclusive, exclusively booked environment.
Vomo Island, Fiji
Vomo Island is a private Fijian island property that earned 96.5 points in the La Liste Top Hotels 2026 ranking, placing it among the more decorated resort addresses in the South Pacific. The island operates as an exclusive enclave in the Mamanuca group, where the architecture responds directly to the landscape and the pace is set by the tides rather than a schedule.
Wakaya Island, Fiji
Wakaya Private Island Resort occupies a privately held 2,200-acre island in Fiji, with just ten guest bures and two private villas spread across rain forest and white-sand shoreline. The resort hosts Fiji's only marine reserve, placing it in a tier of private-island properties where near-total seclusion is the governing logic. Access requires advance arrangement, and capacity is deliberately kept low.
