14 Top-Rated Family Resorts in Fiji

byCassandra Angelie
If your dream family vacation involves a South Pacific tropical paradise incarnated, book a trip to Fiji, which is home to some 333 islands and resorts that cater to all styles and budgets of travelers, including plenty for families. Whether your kids are in preschool or high school and whether you want a Robison Crusoe-style digital detox or haute luxury on a private isle, Fiji has accommodations for you.

The main gateway to Fiji is Viti Levu island, which hosts the tourist town of Nadi and the international airport. On this island, you will find the Coral Coast and Denarau Island are where most of the resorts are clustered, and both are just a short drive from Nadi-Denarau is actually a manmade island that connects to Viti Levu.

From the airport at Nadi, where international travelers will arrive, you can fly to other Fijian islands, like lush Vanua Levu, as well as islands in the Mamanuca archipelago, like Manolo Island. Here you will also find a range of resorts catering to families. Most properties in Fiji offer some kind of all-inclusive meal option, as they are remote, and in some cases even located on private islands.

Plan your next South Pacific vacation with our list of the best family resorts in Fiji.

1. Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort Fiji

On rugged Vanua Levu, Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort is a wonderful family choice. This luxury resort with accommodation in traditional bungalows known as "bures" is possibly the best resort in all of Fiji for a family holiday.

Children under six are assigned a personal nanny from 9am to 9pm, so parents can get some alone time, and kids between the ages of six and 12 have access to small-group childcare. There is also a family swimming pool with a waterslide, and a trampoline, jungle gym, and treehouse are among the other kid-focused amenities at this resort on the grounds of an old coconut plantation.

Many families choose to vacation here to explore the underwater world via the Jean-Michel Cousteau Dive Centre, which is approved by the son of the ocean explorer it is named for. Beyond diving, guests can also join guided snorkel trips and reef walks with the resident marine biologist.

The resort also runs cultural tours to local markets and hosts medicine walks, which families with older children will enjoy. There is also a swimming pool, yoga studio, and spa, and private island day trips can be arranged.
