Fiji is spread across 333 islands. Nadi (main island) is just the airport gateway — the magic happens on outer islands. Mamanuca and Yasawa groups are closest; private island resorts offer ultimate seclusion.
Island Options
Mamanuca islands (30-90 min boat from Nadi) offer family resorts and day trips. Yasawas are wilder and more remote. Private-island resorts like Laucala or Turtle Island are honeymooner heaven and wildly expensive.

What to Know
Transfer costs add up — plane/boat transfers to outer islands can exceed flight costs. Fijians are famously warm; kava ceremonies are common. Cyclone season (November-April) brings rain but cheaper rates. Dollar stretches further than you'd think on main island.
