17 of the Best Family-friendly Resorts in Fiji
Families love Fiji. With warm weather, consistent sunshine, friendly locals and pristine beaches, it's hard to resist a tropical getaway to this tiny jewel of the South Pacific. If you’re thinking about taking a break from the daily grind, these are the best family-friendly resorts in Fiji to help tempt you towards booking.
Vomo Island Resort
1/18Vomo offers perhaps the penultimate desert island experience, with almost 100 hectares of untouched tropical beauty (hence, plenty of room for little legs to run around). It’s not just a place of bending palms, though: the private island also houses a nine-hole golf course, on-site spa, cluster of fine dining spots and yoga instructor and, of course, the colourful Kids Village, open for activities spanning basket weaving and Fijian dancing for kids three years and over.
Malolo Island Resort
2/18There’s no in-room wi-fi at Malolo Island Resort, a private island paradise in the Mamanuca archipelago. Not that you’d miss it, with the cerulean ocean lapping at the always-near shorebreak. At Malolo, switching off is as easy as reclining in a seaside hammock, sipping a cocktail at the Beach Bar with your toes in the sand or simply enjoying the peace of your bure, with zero threat of incoming emails. Bliss.
Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa
3/18There’s an entire wing of Denarau Island’s Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa dedicated to families. Spacious rooms offer the ultimate in group-friendly inclusions, spanning complimentary kids club access for two children, playful bunk beds, outdoor decks with dining room for four and, to top it off, a 60-minute spa treatment for Mum, on the house.
Hilton Fiji Beach Resort & Spa
4/18An on-site kids club, dedicated play areas and a location near some of Viti Levu’s most beautiful natural sites makes Hilton Fiji Beach Resort & Spa a choice for families of outdoorsy children. If the group somehow tires of leaping into one of the resort pools or dining at one of several on-site restaurants, the thrilling Sleeping Giant Zipline, which zooms over a tangle of Fijian jungle, is about 40 minutes away by car.
COMO Laucala Island
5/18Few all-inclusive resorts look like COMO Laucala Island, a private retreat of impressively spacious villas and fine-dining eateries. With only 25 bungalows (and a personal butler, or “tau”’ for each), this resort surpasses even the wildest of dreams for families who really want to splash out, with each bungalow inclusive of a private pool, yoga deck, outdoor bath and view of the crystalline Fijian ocean below.
InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa
6/18Keeping little fish busy at InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa is as easy as leaping off the shore into Natadola Beach, the pristine break that shoulders the resort in Viti Levu’s south. There, snorkellers will find an abundance of fish and bright coral, while you ponder your upcoming plans on the back nine or at the spa.
Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort
7/18There are hectares of tropical gardens at Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort, giving kids (and their parents) some welcome space to move. For more focused energy burning, there are also two on-site kids clubs — one for younger and one for older children — with activities spanning weaving lessons, pool volleyball and bingo.
Shangri-La Yanuca Island
8/18With its inflatable water park, mini golf course, blissful on-site spa and four eateries, Shangri-La Yanuca Island is paradise for guests of all ages. The Yanuca Lagoon Wing is a section dedicated to families, with colourful mural-adorned rooms and a location purposefully close to all the kid-friendly activities.
Sheraton Fiji Golf & Resort
9/18The Side by Side Program, Sheraton Fiji Golf & Resort’s family-focused package, reveals the hotel’s dedication to making holidays with loved ones all the more special (and seamless). Perks at the Denarau Island hotel include free meals for kids under 12, guaranteed interconnecting rooms and regular rotation of kids club fun, from fish feeding to face painting and beyond.
Sheraton Resort & Spa, Tokoriki Island
10/18Offering luxurious versions of traditional beachfront bures, a lively kids club and several delicious on-site dining options, Sheraton Resort & Spa, Tokoriki Island, delivers the best of Fijian hospitality with a family-focused twist. Between the infinity pool, the mini golf course and the natural playground of the South Pacific, the kids won’t be strapped for things to do — and with the largest spa in the Mamanuca Islands, neither will you.
Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort
11/18Budding naturalists will adore Savusavu’s Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort, a property with exceptional marine adventures on offer. Named for its founding French oceanographer, the resort has a stack of aquatic adventures on offer, including its renowned diving program, deep-sea fishing and sailing on the private catamaran. There’s also the option of simply swimming out from the resort’s edge and enjoying the vibrant coral reef that rings the property.
Fiji Marriott Momi Bay
12/18Couples and families can happily coexist at the glorious Fiji Marriott Momi Bay, an overwater resort with bungalows perched right over the glittering sea. There are areas dedicated to every type of traveller: for honeymooners, there’s an adults-only infinity pool that peers out over the ocean, while parents have the reprieve of an enthusiastic on-site kids club, where kids between four and 12 can play to their heart’s content (at no extra fee).
Kokomo Private Island Fiji
13/18Six-star and family-friendly? Sign us up. With spacious villas, private beachfront access and incredible on-site dining, Kokomo Private Island Fiji turns up the dial when it comes to luxury, while ensuring groups are more than catered for (in-room kitchenettes, kids and teens club and complimentary nanny services). Send the kids off to Kokocabana for milkshakes and pizzas while you enjoy the spoils of the nearby 2.2 hectare farm, served with seasonal seafood.
Castaway Island Fiji
14/18You won’t at all mind being stranded on Castaway Island, a resort entangled in hectares of untouched rainforest. Ages three and above are catered for at the on-site kids club and, while they’re occupied, parents can indulge in delicious food using goods from local organic farms or simply hang in a hammock with only the seabreeze as background noise.
The Naviti Resort
15/18With all-inclusive packages available, families (and especially parents) can experience a proper “stop-and-drop” holiday at The Naviti Resort, a hotel with legendary Fijian hospitality on Viti Levu’s Coral Coast. Rooms have views onto lush gardens or the soothing ocean, with interconnecting options available for larger groups. All that’s left to do is pull up a lounger under a native coconut tree, order a drink from the pool bar and master chilling out.
Radisson Blu Resort Fiji Denarau Island
16/18Parents can rest easy at Radisson Blu Resort Fiji Denarau Island, where the on-site kids club is open from 9am to 9pm. Once the little ones are in, the day’s activities are up to you: there’s an on-site golf course, blissful spa, heap of water sports facilities or the shimmering sea, ready to receive you.
Mana Island Resort & Spa
17/18Soft white sand, colourful coral reefs and a full-service spa: Mana Island Resort & Spa delivers all the trappings of a classic Fiji getaway plus kid-friendly perks. For children aged up to 12, the Tu Vonu Kids Club offers three two-hour activities per day spanning sandcastle making, coconut hunting and guided snorkelling sessions as well as movie screenings and indoor games. While the little ones are occupied, unwind with a classic cocktail beside one of the resort’s two freshwater pools – a swim-up bar awaits – before taking in the isle’s splendour on a leisurely hike or kayaking along the shore.
