Fiji is a true Pacific paradise with two main islands and several smaller islands with stunning scenery and resorts large and small.

As the country’s tourism numbers grow, so do the number of international hotel brands with popular loyalty programs. This means vacationers (or those looking to work remotely in the tropical breeze) have plenty of options.

From sprawling resorts to properties with overwater bungalows , the decision comes down to what island you want to visit and which points you want to earn or redeem.

Most of the familiar resort brands are in the Denarau area, which is about 20 minutes from Nadi International Airport, although there are others. If you’re looking for a great option for a trip to Fiji, a destination whose motto is “Where happiness comes naturally,” here are some of the best hotels in Fiji to consider.

ALL - Accor Live Limitless is the loyalty program from the Accor brand , which offers the chance to earn points during a stay or redeem them for cash discounts. Accor has some of the best hotels in Nadi, Fiji, like the Novotel Nadi near the airport and Mercure Nadi, which are budget options without direct beach access.

Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa

Sofitel is an upscale and luxury brand from Accor that leans into its French heritage and is one of the best hotels in Fiji. Its properties around the world offer French cuisine, style and even a French welcome of “bonjour.”

The Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa enjoys a beachfront location, an enormous swimming pool, family activities with an organized kids club and teenage club, a nightclub and a beachfront seafood restaurant.

Because of the way ALL points are redeemed, there is no award chart for redemptions. Instead, members use their points to reduce the cost of their overall bill by about $45 (40 euros) for each 2,000 points redeemed.

With two resorts to choose from, Hilton Honors members can select between a property in the Denarau area or on Sonaisali Island. Coming soon is another of Hilton’s many brands when a Hilton Garden Inn eventually opens in the capital city of Suva.

This Denerau property enjoys seven swimming pools, a kids club and a private stretch of beach. Nearby shopping and dining make this a popular location for tourists. Hilton Honors uses a dynamic pricing model, which means the cost in points can vary depending on the room type and date.

On the random dates we checked, the average price for an award stay was 55,000 points.

DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hotel Fiji - Sonaisali Island

The DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hotel Fiji - Sonaisali Island overlooks the Mamanuca Islands and is about 25 minutes from the international airport. To reach the resort, a three-minute boat ride takes guests from the main island of Viti Levu to Sonaisali Island.

While the rate for a redemption night at this resort varies by date, on average, it is around 40,000 points per night.

And of course, all arrivals receive the famous DoubleTree by Hilton cookie as a special bonus.

IHG has several properties in Fiji representing several of its brands. In addition to two resorts near Nadi, there are two hotels in the capital city of Suva. A Six Senses is also coming to the country soon, representing IHG’s luxury resort partnership.

Crowne Plaza Fiji Nadi Bay Resort & Spa

The Crowne Plaza Fiji Nadi Bay Resort & Spa on Wailoaloa Beach counts seven swimming pools among its roster of amenities, including one dedicated exclusively for adults and another with a swim-up bar. Some of the resort’s two-bedroom suites also have direct pool and beach access from the guest room.

Since IHG uses dynamic pricing for its award redemptions, the cost in points will vary based on the dates of your stay. On the random dates we checked, a one-night standard room redemption started at 44,000 points.

InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa

InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa is another option for earning and redeeming those valuable IHG One Rewards points. Its 35 acres lie along Natadola Beach, which is protected by a natural reef that gives the water an incredible blue color.

IHG One Rewards uses a dynamic pricing model for award redemptions, and on the random sampling of dates we checked, the rate was between 47,000 and 51,000 points per night.

The Marriott Bonvoy program has many properties in Fiji. All of them are on the main island with the exception of Sheraton Resort & Spa, Tokoriki Island, which is only partially open because of renovations. Westin Denarau Island Resort & Spa is closed for updates with plans to open in 2025.

Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort is one of the major players along Denarau Beach, and its impressive convention facilities keep its various wings busy with group business. Beachfront swimming pools, including one reserved for adults, have a beautiful view, and the resort recently added beachfront cabanas. The various grass lawns between the accommodation buildings also have lounge chairs for those seeking extra privacy.

Marriott Bonvoy uses dynamic pricing, and the cost of a room night will vary based on the date. For example, a one-night redemption on the dates we checked cost 46,000 points.

Perhaps the darling for Marriott Bonvoy in Fiji is Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay, which is the only resort on the mainland to offer overwater villas. These are in a lagoon, which makes them a little different from what you might find in the Maldives, for example, which are in the open ocean.

On the dates we checked, a standard room went for 44,000 points, based on Marriott’s dynamic pricing model.

Fans of Radisson will find its branding in Denarau, but a second property will open when the Radisson Blu Mirage Resort, Fiji Naisoso Island, opens in 2026.

The Radisson Blu Resort, Fiji Denarau Island is spread across 10 acres with a private beach, sprawling pools, towering palm trees and waterfalls. Families will love the kids club plus four pools, one of which has a whitewater tunnel slide.

Radisson Rewards uses a dynamic pricing model that determines the number of points based on the room rate. On the dates we checked, the average number of points for a one-night redemption was about 132,000 per night.

Hyatt’s acquisition of Mr & Mrs Smith brings a new country to its destination list. There are three properties that participate in the partnership and give World of Hyatt members a chance to earn and redeem points.

This adult-only all-inclusive resort is on a private island with only 16 suites in individual villas, each with private terraces and whirlpool tubs.

World of Hyatt is alone in that it still uses an award chart to price redemptions, but Mr & Mrs Smith properties use dynamic pricing. This means you won’t be able to score a super-high-value redemption since you will be paying in points a rate that is tied to the cash rate.

While no U.S. carrier flies to Fiji, you can get to the best luxury hotels in Fiji via its national airline, Fiji Airways, which flies to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Honolulu with plans to add Dallas/Fort Worth soon.

Fiji Airways will become a Oneworld alliance member in 2025, which means travelers in partner programs like the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan and American Airlines AAdvantage can earn and redeem miles when flying Fiji Airways.

The airline will soon use American AAdvantage as its loyalty program. This means members will be able to earn and redeem American miles as well as Loyalty Points and elite status when flying Fiji Airways. For example, a one-way flight in business class from the U.S. to Fiji costs 80,000 miles using AAdvantage miles. Once in Fiji, you can also use miles to connect to other islands or regions of the South Pacific.

Children found sniffing glue in Nausori Town and taken home by Police – ACP Driu

Children have been found in Nausori Town sniffing glue behind the supermarkets, and Police confirm that they have had to take them home to their parents.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Livai Driu says Police will continue to call on parents and guardians to monitor their children’s whereabouts, as they always tell children to return to their homes.

He says patrols are frequent and regular and they will continue to call for better supervision of children.

He adds some children are opting not to be home, which is also a factor that needs to be carefully analysed.

ACP Driu says they are working with the stakeholders to address the root causes of why children opt not to stay at home and loiter in the streets.
