No matter whether you prefer to relax in a hammock beneath a coconut palm-studded beach, surf, sail, swim, dive or snorkel in gin-clear waters, swing a golf club, indulge in fresh tropical fruits and seafood or be massaged into oblivion, Fiji can probably cover it. Island resorts range from budget to ultimate luxury and everything in between.

For a start, Fiji has some of best international standard golf courses in the South Pacific. Like the 18 hole championship course at Denarau Island, the similarly impressive greens at Pacific Harbour or the stunning course on Laucala Island that weaves through a coconut plantation. The South Pacific Ocean lures scuba divers, snorkelers, surfers and fishing folk. Plus, it’s a terrific sailing destination, from fully crewed yachts with a finely honed crew trimming the sails to colourful Hobie cats, sea kayaks or paddle boats propelled by leg power.
