Fiji Family Holiday – Plenty of Options!
Fiji has literally dozens of fantastic family-friendly resorts. These can range from laidback beach houses to spacious and modern family hotels.
Best of all is the huge number of activities to keep everyone occupied. Depending on the age of your children, there is plenty of fun stuff to get up to in Fijian paradise.
From babysitting services to water sports, adventure parks and teen-only cafes, a Fiji family holiday will let everyone recharge their batteries.
Family-friendly resorts
The most accessible resorts are on the Coral Coast. This is a magnificent 80km stretch of coastal paradise, running down the western side of Fiji’s main island, Viti Levu.
The Coral Coast is located between two of Fiji’s largest cities – Suva and Nadi, both of which have international airports.
From here it’s up to you how to get to your resort.
Driving is a great option – you can enjoy your Fiji Holiday completely at your own pace.
All major resorts have to pick up and drop off services to and from airports so it’s completely up to you.
Here are some of the excellent family-friendly options on the Coral Coast.
The Warwick Fiji is about as good as it gets. Perfectly located on white sands with spectacular five star ocean views.
