The 5 Best Hotels for Families in Fiji
1. Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort
Hotel phone: (679) 650 0044
One of Fiji’s very best for families. Myriad of activities offered including pool aerobics, coconut bocce, cultural walks, outdoor movies, and snorkeling and kayaking in calm waters. And, unusually, the kids’ club is divided for ages 3 to 7, and 8 to 12. Child-minding is also available with loveable local nannies. Close to the Sigatoka Sand Dunes and excellent Kula Wild Adventure Park. All rooms can squeeze in 2 children; some bungalows are set up for families; and special deals are always available.
2. Radisson Blu Resort Fiji
Hotel phone: (679) 675 6677
Range of pleasing activities, such as disco/movie nights, Fijian language lessons and, um, ‘shark wrestling’. Blu Bananas Kids Club separated for ages 1 to 3 and 4 to 12, and child minding available. Other benefits: kids’ menus, 2 children’s pools for different ages, water slide (for adults, too), playground and attractive packaged deals. The Radisson doesn’t win Best Family Hotel in Fiji awards year after year without reason.
3. Shangri-La’s Fijian Resort & Spa
Hotel phone: (679) 652 0155
Open spaces with excellent pools, gardens and beach. Other attractions: huge playground, children’s pools and waterpark just offshore. The Little Chief’s Club, with an impressive range of activities including movies on the beach, bicycle tours, mini-golf and water aerobics. Also a games room and loveable nannies to entertain children. Grand Deluxe Rooms can squeeze in one or two extra beds, while many rooms have connecting doors. Check out packaged deals and family freebies.
4. Sheraton Fiji Resort
Hotel phone: (679) 675 0777
Will delight everyone with perfect beach, gorgeous lagoon-style pools and abundant shops. For the children, an extensive games room and excellent LaiLai Kids’ Club, with absorbing activities, such as cooking and language classes. All rooms (but not the suites) can easily accommodate a family of 4. And ask about competitively-priced packaged deals for families.
5. Westin Denarau Island Resort & Spa
Hotel phone: (679) 675 0000
Exceptional array of facilities, including water sports, first-rate kids’ club, extended games room and impressive shopping arcade. Adding to the appeal for families are vast tropical gardens, playground, children’s menu and massive pool, with shallow areas for younger ones. All rooms (but not the suites) can easily sleep a family of 4, and many have connecting doors. But the only usable beach is at the sister resort, the Sheraton, about 500m away.
