This paradise escape is filled with fascinating cultures, traditions, and more recently, has become part of the top ten luxury destinations in the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of the 300-odd islands, only half are inhabited, and even fewer are free to visit unless of course, you are booked into your very own private island resort, one of the best ways to experience the exclusivity of some of Fiji\u2019s most pristine islands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go island-hopping around many of the islands, snorkelling, stand-up paddleboarding and cruising to see the abundant coral reef below. No matter what you choose to do, a hammock, a coconut and some relaxation will never be too far away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within Fijian culture, you\u2019ll see a little bit of Chinese, Indian, British, French and the local influences of Tongan and Rotuman cultures as you travel through the islands. Fijian culture has evolved through colonisation and has been influenced by travel and trading themselves; however, the Fijian people remain proud and maintain their identity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While travelling in Fiji, you\u2019ll hear music wherever you go; a traditional Fijian welcome is a warm smile and a song, which are essentials in the Fijian hospitality that makes this archipelago so special.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready to see a comprehensive Fiji guide? Let\u2019s dig a little deeper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best Time to Visit the Fiji Islands<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite having similar seasons to Australia, when on your Fiji travels, you\u2019ll never really get cold, making it the perfect year-round destination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dry months tend to be from May to October. This is also peak season, when day time temperatures reach 27-29 degrees Celcius and evenings get down to 18, depending what you are used to, this might make you shiver, so bring a jumper or two!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s very rare at this time of year, but you might expect the odd storm, which can last anywhere between 20 minutes and three days &#8211; welcome to island life!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This time of year is perfect for a family holiday to Fiji, for surfers in search of the ideal wave and divers looking for maximum visibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiji\u2019s other season is a wet one that lasts from November to April. When travelling during the rainy season, once again, showers can last anywhere between five minutes and three days, leaving hot and humid weather behind. By then, it could be time to go home!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t be disheartened just yet, as unlike the dry season, your stretch of warm sunny days could be met with adventures to the impressive waterfalls deep in Fiji\u2019s jungles!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quick travel tip: Viti Levu\u2019s southeastern side experiences considerably more rain than the rest of the island in the wet season, keep this in mind when talking to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/fiji\/local-designers\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">our Local Designers on the ground in Fiji and Australia.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1509035681059{background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1509350069266{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;post-cta&#8221;]<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Don&#8217;t Miss Our Exclusive Offers!

With a healthy and hearty cooking style and a strong influence of Chinese and Indian cuisine, you\u2019ll find a lot of similarities across the islands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some essentials to try;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Lovo<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cooked in a giant hot stone pit, lovo is a cooking style that is used for cooking everything. A slow-cooking method, the pit is covered with banana leaves that make a conical shape and is left for hours. As this is effectively a giant oven, lovo-style cooking is also used to make gelatinous cakes, steam corn, slow-cook meat, bake potatoes &#8211; all piled up next to each other!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Mahi Mahi Kokoda<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is perhaps the most typical Fijian dish you will find. Kokoda is a fish ceviche using the local and most popular fish, mahi-mahi.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The soft butteriness of the fish is what completes this dish. It is marinated in coconut milk and left raw. To give a little bite to the dish, there is the addition of fresh vegetables and lashings of lime &#8211; the perfect island dish!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Curries<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Available across all of the islands of Fiji, curries in the archipelago are taken seriously and give a Fijian spin. With a large Indian population, curry in Fiji is made with added freshness and zest yet still keeping the comforting hot and spicy flavour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Lolo Buns<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The perfect breakfast! Lolo Buns are packed with coconut for that hearty morning freshness you want to enjoy! Similar to a bao bun in Southeast Asian culture, Lolo Buns are boiled not baked to seal in the freshness and give them that light doughy texture that makes them so moreish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite appearing quite easy to make, you might find yourself shopping around to find the consistency you are looking for. No matter what your choice &#8211; you\u2019ll instantly be hooked.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3144 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/bradley-hook-n9-uE5LjaoQ-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/13101559\/bradley-hook-n9-uE5LjaoQ-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/13101559\/bradley-hook-n9-uE5LjaoQ-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/13101559\/bradley-hook-n9-uE5LjaoQ-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/13101559\/bradley-hook-n9-uE5LjaoQ-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/13101559\/bradley-hook-n9-uE5LjaoQ-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/13101559\/bradley-hook-n9-uE5LjaoQ-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/13101559\/bradley-hook-n9-uE5LjaoQ-unsplash-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/13101559\/bradley-hook-n9-uE5LjaoQ-unsplash-585x390.jpg 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2560\/1707;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3144\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/bradley-hook-n9-uE5LjaoQ-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/13101559\/bradley-hook-n9-uE5LjaoQ-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/13101559\/bradley-hook-n9-uE5LjaoQ-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/13101559\/bradley-hook-n9-uE5LjaoQ-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/13101559\/bradley-hook-n9-uE5LjaoQ-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/13101559\/bradley-hook-n9-uE5LjaoQ-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/13101559\/bradley-hook-n9-uE5LjaoQ-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/13101559\/bradley-hook-n9-uE5LjaoQ-unsplash-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3-cdn.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/13101559\/bradley-hook-n9-uE5LjaoQ-unsplash-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/noscript>Festivals<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Hibiscus Festival<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think small local fate and you\u2019ll have the right idea for the Hibiscus Festival since it began in the mid-50s, the Hibiscus Festival has grown into a 9-day festival that brings in locals from across the archipelago to Viti Levu.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking place during the August holidays, the main event of the festival is a beauty pageant where the winner is crowned the Hibiscus Queen.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Diwali<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Held in the second week of November, Diwali is a festival celebrated by the Indian-Fiji community who make up about a half of the Fijian population.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diwali in Fiji is typically celebrated through the fasting of meat.
