Fiji

The Soft Coral Capital of the World

Remote island resorts, the world's best soft coral diving, traditional kava ceremonies, and the happiest people on Earth.

Fiji is an archipelago of 333 islands in the South Pacific — a destination that has been synonymous with tropical paradise since the first resort opened its doors. The Yasawa and Mamanuca island chains offer some of the world's most beautiful island-hopping experiences. The Great Astrolabe Reef is one of the world's largest barrier reefs and offers world-class diving. The Somosomo Strait between Taveuni and Vanua Levu is known as the 'Soft Coral Capital of the World.' Inland, Fiji surprises with dense tropical rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and traditional Fijian villages where the kava ceremony remains central to community life. For Indian travellers, Fiji holds particular significance — nearly 40% of Fiji's population is of Indian descent, descendants of indentured labourers brought from India by the British between 1879 and 1916.
