One of the many benefits of a holiday in Fiji is the sheer choice of accommodation available. Small, intimate resorts mean you can hide away from the world in peace and solitude, choosing not to cross paths with another soul. The larger resorts operate as self contained villages where you can mix with hundreds of other guests and there is always something happening to keep you busy and stimulated.
Sometimes however you may want to experience a little of both worlds without the inconvenience of changing resorts midway through your vacation. The Intercontinental and the Sofitel offer the perfect solution – private, exclusive clubs conveniently located within the resort grounds. Here guests can experience a level of sophistication and luxury, whether it’s for a couple of hours, several days or the duration of your holiday.
Club Intercontinental – Intercontinental Fiji Resort & Spa
Poised high on a plateau, overlooking one of Fiji’s best beaches, is Club Intercontinental. A haven of indulgency and luxury, ‘the Club’ is exclusively reserved for guests aged 12 years and over.
