Where happiness comes naturally
From rugged volcanic peaks to pristine beaches, Fiji’s islands offer a tantalizing array of geographical features that make them the perfect destination to play in.
Situated in the South Pacific Ocean, between the Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn, Fiji is blessed with a sub-tropical climate that promises sunny skies and balmy temperatures all year round. Straddling the 180 longitude (International Dateline), it occupies a central location in the South Pacific making it an ideal flight and shipping hub for its neighbors.
The Main Islands
Fiji can be described as two main islands with a bunch of smaller ones organized into regional island clusters.
Viti Levu – the largest island or ‘mainland’ – spans 10,388sq km and hosts over 70% of Fiji’s 900,000+ population. Nadi, home of the main international airport and a vibrant tourism hub is located on the island’s west coast, just a stone’s throw from Fiji’s second largest city, Lautoka. Suva, the bustling capital city is located in the south-east and serves as the economic, educational and diplomatic heart of the South Pacific.
Fiji’s second largest island – Vanua Levu – lies to the north-east of Viti Levu and is roughly half the size at 5538 sq km. Major towns include Labasa on the northern coast and Savusavu – a tourism hub on it’s southern shore. Taveuni, Fiji’s 3rd largest island is located just off the Vanua Levu’s south east coast.
