Beyond the big resorts…
Discover Fiji’s boutique resorts and hotels.
Discover the “real” Fiji.
If you dream of a Fiji holiday that feels authentic, personal, and far from the busy crowds, you’re not alone. A growing number of travellers are seeking boutique resorts that deliver privacy, luxury, and the true spirit of Fiji.
As Fiji travel specialists, below we’ve put together a guide to the best boutique resorts to help you plan a getaway that’s uniquely yours.
What sets boutique hotels and resorts apart?
Personalised Service
At a boutique resort, you’re more than just a room number. The staff take the time to learn your name, understand your preferences, and create a stay that feels like it was designed just for you. From your favourite tropical cocktail waiting at sunset to arranging surprise anniversary touches, the personal attention is heartfelt and seamless.
Secluded Locations
Many boutique resorts are situated on private islands or in remote areas only accessible by boat or seaplane. This means fewer crowds, no traffic noise, and the luxury of having beaches, lagoons, and coral reefs almost entirely to yourself. It’s the kind of privacy that turns a trip into a true retreat.
Cultural Connection
Smaller resorts tend to embrace and celebrate the local culture. You’ll be welcomed with traditional Fijian ceremonies, dine on locally sourced cuisine, and have the opportunity to take part in authentic village visits, storytelling, cooking classes, and more. It’s a chance to engage with the real Fiji—not just the tourist version.
Unique Accommodations
From beachfront bures to treehouses in the rainforest and overwater villas with direct access to the lagoon, each resort offers distinctive, thoughtfully designed spaces. Many are built using traditional materials and architectural styles, blending luxury with authenticity.
Sustainable and Eco-Friendly
Many boutique resorts are leaders in sustainability, with eco-initiatives like solar power, organic gardens, reef protection, and strong community partnerships. These resorts offer guilt-free luxury that supports both the environment and the local people.
Tailored Experiences
Whether you’re after complete relaxation, an active holiday, or romantic seclusion, boutique resorts can customise your experience. From private picnics on uninhabited islands to bespoke spa rituals, diving excursions, or cultural immersion days, the focus is always on what you want.
