Bula, I just purchased property (9 acres) on the Coral Coast and the process went smoothly, but does take a lot of time to get all the stamps and paperwork completed.  The attorney that I used was in Suva and the firm knows what they are doing…

Ni Sa Bula!

New: Join us on our Facebook page.


Since 1996, Fiji Guide has provided readers with all they need to plan and book a vacation. This includes practical advice on accommodations, scuba diving, dining, surfing, trekking and even kava drinking. We also have more photos (3100+) than any other Fiji website.

The recent devaluation of the Fiji dollar makes it even more of a bargain. The Fijians really can use the commerce. With all the travel advisories, visitor arrivals are down and staff hours at most resorts are cut back. The Fijian people need your business.

And yes...Fiji is a safe place to visit. You're as secure here as anywhere on the planet. Fiji's internal politics don't impact the visitor in the least.

Rob's Top Fiji Picks 

  1. Yasawas have the best beaches and weather. Great value for mid-range to  budget visitors. 
  2. Coral Coast has Natadola Beach, cultural attractions, a natural history park, surf, and numerous resorts. 
  3. The Mamanucas are tiny islands with good beaches and a range of resorts. Short time in Fiji? Go here.
  4. Taveuni and Vanua Levu have world class diving, eco-parks, waterfalls, rain forests and local culture.
  5. History buff?  The old Capital of Levuka is a hidden gem.  
  6. Kadavu and Beqa (home of the firewalkers) both have great diving, surfing and traditional culture.
  7. Into night life and fine food? Go to Suva
