Coral Coast
Nestled on the Eastern side of Viti Levu, an 80km stretch of pristine white beaches, secluded bays and amazing scenery of the coral reef, Coral Coast is a place to be. It is a perfect location for relaxation and endless opportunities for underwater exploration.

Coral Coast was one of the first locations in all of Fiji to be modernized which led to a boom in tourism. Starting in 1950, Bill Clarke built the first hotel in Coral Coast called the Korolevu Beach Hotel, that was over 76 acres in size.

Today, the Coral Coast is well known for its family-friendly resorts, hotels and popular backpackers. The coast is also home to many local villages where you can get a glimpse of the real Fiji.

All major resorts are situated along the coastal areas such as Shangri-La Fijian Resort, Outrigger Fiji, The Naviti Resort and Warwick Fiji.

Pacific Harbour

The pacific harbor is popularly referred to as the “Adventure Capital of Fiji”. The reason for this is not farfetched, there are a myriad of activities here to keep your adventurous sense tingling. Activities such as river rafting on the gorgeous Upper Navua River, zip lining, surfing, jet skiing, 4WD adventure, a dive with bull sharks in Beqa Lagoon will always keep you coming back.
