Explore Fiji

Where to stay, things to do, where to eat, where to stay in fiji.

Each island, village and city has its own unique charm and way of going about things – so you’ve got a tough choice to make when deciding where to stay in Fiji! Whether you’re in search of pure unadulterated luxury or a more stripped-back approach, you’re certain to find what you’re looking for on one of the 332 tropical islands. Popular tourist spots on the two main islands are perfect if you're after resort living, boutique shopping, and beachside bars and clubs. In the surrounding villages, life is much simpler, and things run at a local pace. Some smaller islands are like a world all of their own, with no shops and resorts to be found.

The private resort island of Denarau is a tiny dot of tropical splendour just west of Viti Levu. World-class hotel chains like Hilton, Sheraton, and Sofitel are just some of your options for luxury accommodation. The marina is a hive of activity by the ocean, and the 18-hole golf course is a sight to behold – even if you haven't played a game in your life!

Coral Coast

This 80km stretch of splendid beaches and bays is an oasis of fine-dining and majestic coral reefs. Just a short paddle from the white sands, the gigantic reef is a wonderland of colour and life. This is a great spot for snorkellers and divers of all skill levels, and you're guaranteed to see something exotic and unforgettable.

Mamanuca Islands

The volcanic archipelago of Mamanuca is a barefoot paradise with 20 palm-fringed islands home to some of Fiji's most exclusive resorts. The waters are clear, and the secluded atmosphere is rather romantic. Weigh anchor just outside the untouched reefs and enjoy the serenity, or sail from island to island. Your days are sure to be filled with adventure here.

Taveuni Island

Known locally as the garden island, Taveuni is a nursery of native plants and wildlife. Hiking trails plunge deep into the dense rainforests that cloak the island. Explore a world of breathtaking beauty and majestic wonder. While hotels and accommodation are available, beachside camping is the perfect way to get among the natural majesty that Taveuni possesses.

Yasawa Islands

Towering out from the waters of the South Pacific, the Yasawa Islands are a splash of marvellous green against the waves of blue. On these islands you can escape from the trappings of modern life. There are no shops or banks, and the accommodation is back to basics. With gorgeous beaches and perfect weather, who needs five-star luxury when there's a hammock strung between two palm trees?

Kadavu Island

Home to only one town and a few dirt roads, Kadavu is a great place to experience true Fijian culture. Eat as the locals do, with fresh seafood and tropical fruit and vegetables in plentiful supply. Cast a line at all the best native haunts and reel in something delicious. Only accessible by boat, Kadavu is a great place to escape to true tropical bliss.

Island time is real, just go with the flow. Part of the charm of the islands is that life is too beautiful to be worried about being on time. Plus, I have never missed a plane, boat or transfer connection yet.

Frequently asked questions

When you're packing for a trip to Fiji, don't forget the essentials like your visa, passport, camera, chargers, some FJD and the correct power adaptor. Aside from that, think tropical thoughts and pack a few swimwear options, some jandals, a hat, sunscreen, a towel and a good book. Leave the watch at home though, you're on Fiji time now.

It's hard to go wrong with Fiji, but you can cater your itinerary to be more aligned with your travel goals. If you're heading over for a family holidays, consider Viti Levu and the resorts along the Coral Coast. Surfers and beach bums will thrive in the Mamanucas and Yasawa Islands, while those seeing cultural visits and off-the-beaten-track adventures should head to Vanua Levu and Kadavu.

Airbnb lists real-life version of ‘Up’ balloon house for Pixar fans

Share this article

Pixar's iconic 'Up' balloon home is now up for rent in Airbnb. Photo / Airbnb

Good news for Pixar fans - you can now book a stay in a real-life version of the Up house. And yes, it floats.

Pixar fans, prepare for nostalgia (and tears) to hit because Carl and Ellie’s balloon home is not in Paradise Falls anymore - it’s in New Mexico , United States .

Airbnb has introduced Icons , a new category of extraordinary experiences at the most iconic homes in music, film, television, art, sport, and more. Part of the first 11 Icons is the beloved ‘Up’ house, and guests are invited to share the adventure with Carl and Ellie in a real-life replica of the house.

Airbnb co-founder and CEO, Brian Chesky , joins the excitement of fans and shares, “As life becomes increasingly digital, we’re focused on bringing more magic into the real world . With Icons, we’ve created the most extraordinary experiences on Earth .”

The real-life balloon house doesn’t miss a detail, from the nostalgic interior to the tear-jerking armchairs of its owners. And yes, the 8000 balloons are here to take you to the skies too.

The well-loved retired balloon salesman and Pixar superstar, Carl Fredricksen, hosts the Airbnb listing and invites adventurers to book their home, “I don’t always like visitors, but I guess it’s pretty nice to have them now that it’s just me and Dug. So, come stay in my cosy home I made with my dear Ellie.”

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Airbnb (@airbnb)

True to its on-screen counterpart , the house is a charming yellow-painted wood structure with a vast number of colourful balloons rising above it. While the replica doesn’t have the magic to float solely with the help of balloons, it’s suspended beneath a towering crane, offering guests a thrilling and unforgettable experience.

This once-in-a-lifetime experience is part of the 15th anniversary of the film, and adventurers from around the world are invited to apply for a night stay until May 13, but only 4000 guests will be chosen. The re-created house is located in Abiquiu, New Mexico , and accommodates up to four guests, who will be treated to an immersive stay inspired by the film.

Guests will be treated as Junior Wilderness Explorers, like Carl’s young friend Russell, and will embark on mini adventures to collect badges throughout their stay. They will be tasked with completing chores such as collecting the post and ‘minding the house’, adding to the authenticity of the experience.

More importantly, Carl invites guests to share the spirit of adventure , just like his amazing wife Ellie.

“My greatest adventures have happened here, and I learned that the best ones are always with someone you love, so bring your pals to kickstart your very own Adventure Book and watch as my house drifts off before you depart.”

Airbnb’ s first 11 Icons also include Marvel’s X-men-inspired X-Mansion, the Ferrari Museum, a VIP hangout with Kevin Hart, and another Pixar classic set: Inside Out 2′s Headquarters.
