The Best Hotels In Denarau Island Fiji

Expect endless pools, fine-dining restaurants and an 18-hole golf course at these resorts on Fiji’s western coast.

Sitting just north of popular Nadi, Denarau Island offers a cluster of high-end resorts, complete with palm trees and oceanfront views. From here, hop on the Denarau ferry to explore the surrounding islands, or book a private boat tour for a day trip on the Fijian waters. You are in a Pacific paradise, after all.

Rooms are sleek, with balconies or patios overlooking the courtyard or lagoon-style pool, and there are an impressive six restaurants to choose from come dinner time.

With two- and three-bedroom beachfront villas available, Sheraton Denarau Villas is ideal for those travelling in larger groups. All of the beautifully appointed rooms have views of the sea, garden or pool, but head to the swim-up cocktail bar, Wet Edge, for a tipple at sunset. When you’re not swimming in the sea or one of the on-site pools, pop next door for a round of golf at the Denarau Golf and Racquet Club.

4. The Palms Denarau Fiji

Just a three-minute walk from the Denarau ferry terminal, the Palms Denarau Fiji is close to all the action but far enough away to feel like a private oasis. Choose between a hotel-style guest room or a one-, two- or three-bedroom apartment, complete with a full kitchen and living space, perfect for larger groups. Ask the friendly team to organise a boat trip for you around the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands – the best way to experience the island is by sea.

5. Sofitel Fiji Resort and Spa Hotel

Otherwise, make the most of the 18-hole championship golf course on your doorstep. Rooms are modern with beamed ceilings – opt for the spa suite for a four-poster canopy bed and private plunge pool.
