Places to stay
Nadi’s five-star resorts have a little something for everyone. Beautiful beachfront wedding venues, adults-only pools, water sports, kids’ clubs and a wide range of restaurants to choose from you’d be hard pressed not to find something to do in stunning Nadi.
For the kids (and parents), Nadi has plenty of babysitting services, kid-friendly experiences and even the world’s largest inflatable waterpark, Big Bula. Honeymooners, newlyweds and couples, let Nadi set the mood with its private dining experiences and romantic accommodation options. For budget travellers and backpackers more affordable accommodation can be found in the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
Things to do
Nadi is a place of great beauty, rich culture and exciting not-to-be-missed experiences. If you've never been covered in mud from head to toe, a dip in a thermal mud bath is a must! With supposed age-defying benefits, it is a bizarre, relaxing experience.
For the Adrenaline seekers take a water safari around the islands via jet ski. Not scary enough? Nadi’s zip lines will suspend you high above the treetops on an adrenaline-fuelled rollercoaster. There’s also quad biking tours and snorkelling trips ideal for family groups with youngsters.
Visit the Kalevu cultural centre and learn more about Fijian history and traditions or take a tour of the Navala village where villagers live in traditional thatched roof bures.
