How to Design Your Dream Fiji Holiday

There really is no greater holiday spot than Fiji if you ever need to disconnect from the outside world and refill your batteries. Fiji is mainly composed of a few of large islands and lots of smaller ones. It is pleasantly laid-back and frequently referred to as ‘the way the universe should just be’. 

So, if your ideal island paradise includes sun-drenched islands with pristine beaches, swinging palms, blue lagoons, tropical forests, different cultures, and the world’s nicest people, this guide to designing the perfect Fiji holiday package is for you.

Why Should You Visit Fiji?

Fiji’s 333 islands are sprinkled across the South Pacific like gems, offering travellers the ideal tropical paradise trip. But the sun-soaked, palm-lined beaches, turquoise oceans, and vibrant coral reefs are only the beginning.

Fiji is a delightfully diverse destination, with a distinct traditional village culture, some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet, off-the-beaten-path experiences through green interiors, and an increasingly trendy farm-to-table food scene.

Whether you’re looking for family bonding, romance, exploration, or just sun and relaxation, in this guide, we will show you how to design your dream Fiji holiday package.

What to Take Into Account When Designing Your Fiji Holiday Package

In order to create your own irresistible travel package, you need to take into account four key factors: 

• Length of your stay
• Type of activities you would like to try
• Location
• Travel dates 

In order to build and map out the details of your dream Fiji holiday package, you’ll need to think about questions such as;

1) When Do You Want to Go?

Fiji has two distinct seasons because of its tropical location and year-round sunshine. The dry season, which runs from May to October, is perhaps the most pleasant time to visit, with beautiful blue skies, little rainfall and humidity, and perfect snorkelling and diving conditions. The average day temperature is approximately 25°C, with nighttime temperatures seldom falling below 19°C.

The rainy season is hotter (up to 33°C), with higher humidity, tropical downpours (typically in the mid-afternoon), and danger of cyclones. However, there’s plenty of sunlight to go around and many reasons to travel: Fiji is less busy and accommodation is often less expensive. The islands are covered with lush greenery, and the waterfalls are at their most spectacular.

2) How Long Would You Like to Travel For?

Depending on what you want to see and do, you should consider a specific amount of days. At Designer Journeys, we provide flexible holiday packages in which you may choose the number of nights you want to spend in each location, the hotel you want to stay in, and the activities you want to do. You can explore our trip galleries – simply choose “Fiji” as a location and begin browsing our gallery of unique experiences organised by locals.

3) What Would You Like to Do?

If you can drag yourself away from the beach, there’s no shortage of unique things to do in Fiji, from natural wonders to cultural trips and exhilarating activities. Fiji, the land of joy, is far more than simply beautiful beaches, idyllic islands and turquoise oceans. It is home to some of the most breathtaking hiking trails through dense forests, stunning waterfalls, rich highlands, wildlife reserves, and towering sand dunes, allowing visitors to truly enjoy Fiji’s magnificence.

Our Local Designers can help you choose the best activities for you and your travel companions based on your interests and the type of holidays you are looking for. Our trusted Local Designers specialise in adventure, romance and family. 

4) Which Fiji Island Is Best for You? 

Fiji’s coasts range from holiday-ready to blissfully isolated, with seven main islands, each with its satellite of smaller islands. Viti Levu, Fiji’s largest island, provides everything you could want for a fantastic family holiday while still being close to the international airport. Denarau Island, a family-friendly all-inclusive resort less than half an hour from Nadi, offers a variety of accommodation alternatives –few resorts in the world provide kids’ clubs like Fijian resorts. Outside of the hotel, there’s enough to keep youngsters entertained, from the Big Bula Waterpark to island tours. Forests can also be found in the area.

The two atolls that stretch out from Viti Levu’s west coast, the Mamanucas and Yasawa Islands, are the two commonly known as glossy-brochure Fiji. You can find serene lagoons, lovely resorts, and, of course, palm-lined, white-sanded shores here. The sandy parts of the Mamanucas are so beautiful that they were utilised as the setting for the Tom Hanks film Cast Away. The actual location, Monuriki Island, may be visited as a day trip. This 8-day exclusive private islands excursion in Fiji will take you to the most picturesque parts of Mamanuca and Monuriki Island, as well as filming sites.

Drop a pin on the map of Fiji, and you’ll find why it is known for romance. On Vanua Levu, you’ll be spoiled with honeymoon options. Viti Levu is also significantly less frequented, offering the type of wonderful seclusion that is essential for a romantic trip. 

Our Local Designers would suggest that you spend time island-hopping across several of the islands on your tailor-made Fiji tour so that you get a chance to experience various islands.
