The Fiji Shortlist. Luxe Stays for Every Kind of Escape

This is the side of paradise where five-star indulgence meets island soul, and luxury comes wrapped in woven palms and warm smiles.

From May to October (yes, that’s now), Fiji hits its peak: balmy days, postcard seas, and just the right amount of tropical breeze. It’s also when the best resorts truly shine - the ones gracing Condé Nast Traveler’s Top 20, and topping travel wish lists for a reason.

Whether you’re plotting a lovers’ escape, a wellness reset, or a family holiday with a touch more sparkle, consider this your insider’s guide to Fiji - with flair.

Tokoriki Island Resort – Mamanuca Islands

Perfect for: Romance (and rekindling it, too)

Adults only. Wildly romantic. And adored enough that one guest has stayed 27 times - they even planted a coconut tree in their honour. That’s how special Tokoriki is.

Rooted in traditional Fijian design, the resort is an effortless blend of soul and style. Private plunge pools, seamless service, world-class dining are just a few of the reasons this place is multi award-winning. This is romance, personified - intimate, authentic, and blissfully child-free. Just a quick boat ride or heli-hop from the mainland, and worlds away from the ordinary.

COMO Laucala Island – Northern Fiji

Perfect for: Romance, recluses, and red carpets

Tucked away in Fiji’s far north, COMO Laucala is the ultimate in exclusivity. A favourite of the A-list (and anyone who prefers their beach holidays with butlers and bespoke cocktails), this is the crème de la crème.

Arrive by private resort jet - obviously - then slip into the languid pace of barefoot opulence. Each villa is expansive, oceanfront, and complete with your own golf buggy. There’s an 18-hole championship golf course, a world-class spa, and dining straight from the island’s own organic farms. It’s sustainable, stylish, and seriously swoon-worthy.

Six Senses Fiji – Malolo Island

Perfect for: Wellness with a side of wow

Styled like a traditional Fijian village - with a seriously stylish twist - Six Senses blends holistic wellness with effortless elegance. Here, wellness isn’t a trend; it’s a carefully crafted experience, with personalised programs and treatments that restore and refresh.

Set between lush jungle and the sea, every corner exudes calm. The cuisine is fresh, often plant-based, and always satisfying. From sustainable design to ancient healing rituals, Six Senses delivers wellness that’s as thoughtful as it is beautiful.

VOMO Island Resort – Mamanuca & Yasawa Islands

Perfect for: Families (but make it fabulous)

Family holidays, but elevated. VOMO somehow manages the impossible: keeping kids happy and grown-ups relaxed - all without compromising on high-style. With brand-new two-bedroom villas, ‘baby butlers’ , and acres of green space to roam, relax, or reconnect with loved ones.

While little ones make coconut crafts or conquer the kids’ village, you can sneak off to the spa or the adults-only pool for a blissful moment of peace. There’s snorkelling, hiking, diving, and more than enough to keep every generation smiling. It’s all just a skip from the mainland - but feels like a world away from your average family getaway.

Nanuku Resort – Pacific Harbour

Perfect for: Authenticity with a side of adrenaline

Rooted in Fijian tradition and refined with five-star luxury, Nanuku is set against the untamed beauty of Pacific Harbour, Fiji’s adventure capital. A scenic two-hour drive from Nadi brings you to a world of private villas, personal butlers, and pristine beachfront, all with genuine soul.

The local experience here goes beyond the usual. Paddle through Beqa Lagoon, raft lush rainforest rivers, or dine suspended in the treetops - then retreat to your private pool with a sunset and a local cocktail in hand.

For travellers seeking culture, connection, and a touch of wild adventure, Nanuku delivers, everytime.

Choose your Fijian escape: whether it’s a legendary romance, a wellness reboot, family adventures with flair, or an authentic cultural heartbeat - you’ll find it here, set against the backdrop of pristine island beauty.
