Fiji island selection strategy: where to travel to Fiji?

To travel to Fiji, you must first prepare which island to go to, and there are related accommodation problems. These are all things to prepare before going out. Today, Bian Xiao will tell you the relevant strategies in this regard.

Island selection

For the first-time tourists to Fiji, most people will inevitably suffer from choice phobia in the face of numerous islands and hotels (100-200). I remember the first time I went to Fiji. I have been to Fiji many times, stayed in most islands and hotels, and became a senior expert in Fiji. I really think it is necessary to write an authentic guide to help you choose Fiji islands and hotels, and how to match the perfect itinerary.

Before you start making choices and judgments, you need to ask yourself a few questions. The answers to these questions directly determine the choice of islands and hotels, and how to match the itinerary.

1. How do you travel?

In other words, what kind of holiday do you want, to be in a daze on an island with a breeze and white sand, or to have a vibrant island holiday by doing various exciting projects?

If the answer is that you just want to find a secluded island and enjoy the sweet time quietly with your family or lover, then it is very important to choose an outer island with few people and far from the main island. And try to stay in the outer islands for a longer period of time, such as 4 or 5 nights. One or two nights on the main island is enough, mainly flying. This kind of vacation is the essence of Fiji vacation and the best way to experience "FJ time". Compared with the busy life in China, most tourists still tend to forget the time after a few days. They only watch beaches, coconut trees, delicious food and family time. There is no doubt that the outer islands have purer beaches, more beautiful scenery, better corals and higher quality hotels.

If you choose a vibrant island for your holiday, you'd better stay on the main island (Dina or downtown Nan Di) or an outer island near the main island, such as Mana Island. In these places, there are a lot of land and sea activities to choose from, such as going to sea 1-2 days to make up for the regret of not living in an outer island. Most of the outer islands far from the main island have no shuttle bus service and can hardly participate in activities. It is not recommended to choose. Outer islands close to the main island, such as Mana, can arrange most activities.

2. What's your budget?

Choose different levels of hotels according to the budget, from ultra-luxury to economy. The rich choice of island hotels is also one of Fiji's unique charms.

How long are you going to spend your holiday in Fiji?

At present, the most common Fiji holiday is six nights, which is not only related to the length of domestic holidays, but also related to the current flight mix of Fiji Airlines.

Of course, if the flight allows, you can extend or shorten your holiday at will. Because domestic tourists usually come to Fiji via Hong Kong to take Fiji Airlines, I have listed the flight dates below for your reference: (Please note: the flight is between Hong Kong and Nan Di, Fiji Airlines is more leisure, and the flight may change).

Hongkong-Nan Di: weekly 13467.

Nan Di-Hongkong: weekly 13467.

Tips:

1. Since the flight from Hong Kong is in the morning, you must return to the main island the day before, otherwise you can't take it. That's why you must stay on the main island for at least one night.

2. At present, the most common and reasonable itinerary is six nights in Fiji. It is suggested that the time spent in the outer islands should not be less than 3 nights, because many hotels will have great discounts for more than 3 nights. The main reason is that the outer islands are also the essence of Fiji's holiday.

3. Due to the rich activities and scenic spots on the main island, it is recommended to arrange at least two nights on the main island.

: hotel selection suggestions

1. Main Island Hotel

There are many choices of hotels on the main island, because the main island is mainly used as a base camp for connecting flights or participating in various activities, so when choosing, you only need to consider the budget. The beach quality of the main island hotel is not good, which is not suitable for snorkeling and other sea activities.

If the budget allows, it is recommended to stay in Dananu Island, which is connected with the main island. Almost all high-end hotels are concentrated here, so you can always find familiar high-end hotel chains, such as Hilton, Sofitel, Shangri-La, Westin and Radisson. Moreover, these hotels are lined up along the coastline, and the lobby and leisure area of each hotel itself is a beautiful scenery.

As for how to choose these hotels, because they are all five-star hotels, the service level and facilities are not much different. I suggest you look at the pictures on the internet to see which style you like, or choose to be one of them. Many tourists often choose special hotels, so special packages offered by some merchants are good choices. If you don't want to spend so much money on hotels, I suggest choosing hotels in downtown Nan Di, such as Mercure and Novotel. The service and environment of these four-star hotels are good, but they are not near the sea, which is very suitable for guests who transit or go out for activities every day. Of course, you can also choose a cheaper downtown hotel, but the facilities and service level are really not guaranteed.

Tips:

1. In the evening, you can visit hotels on the beach of Dananu Island. Many bars have free singing and dancing performances in the evening. Have a drink with family or friends at the beach bar. Coconut breeze blowing gently, accompanied by wonderful Fiji music. Extremely romantic.

2. The special package offered by some merchants is often an excellent choice, which can be considered.

In addition, there are several destinations to choose from on the main island: Coral Coast, Pacific Harbor, Suva Region and Sunshine Coast. For first-time visitors to Fiji, these are not very popular destinations, and there will be fewer guests to choose from.

As an empirical problem, we must mention the coral coast. It is a very cost-effective choice. Although it is not an outer island, it is completely equivalent to the level of an outer island in terms of diverse landforms, extreme scenery, exciting activities and high-end resorts. Among them, the newly opened Marriott Resort Hotel Momi Bay, Ollie Beach Hotel, Intercontinental Hotel and Shangri-La are all good choices. The price of five-star hotels here is often the price of 3.5~4-star hotels in Fiji's outer islands, which is very cost-effective. Tips:

1. Choose a hotel on Coral Coast. It is best to stay in Nan Di or Dananu Island on the last night in case the early flight is too hard.

2. Choosing a hotel on the coral coast basically does not need to go to the outer island. You can choose the itinerary of 5 1 or 42, and there are many choices for activities on the coral coast.

2. Outer Island Hotel

This is a big topic and the most difficult choice. In order to avoid a long speech, I will only make a simple and clear introduction here. As for the characteristics and pictures of each hotel, I suggest you check online. There is a lot of information in this respect, so I won't go into details here.

The following table compares several islands frequented by tourists to help you choose a general direction:

The following table is the top priority of this strategy. This seems simple, but it is the experience of my many years' trip to Fiji:

Tips:

1. Because there are many types of hotel rooms, the price difference will be great, so here we classify them according to the average price and comprehensive evaluation for reference only.

2. As a veteran player who has experienced most hotels, I personally think that the most cost-effective hotel is:

Low-end: plantation, mana
