Sheraton Fiji Resort – Exquisite beach, spacious grounds, and perfect for families.
Most of the rooms in the square, two-level, ocher-colored buildings directly face the sea or offer significant glimpses of the water through angled balconies/patios. With so many activities and a kids club, the Sheraton caters extremely well for families, but doesn’t forget adults, with a child-free pool and ‘quiet zone’. The meandering lagoon-style pool is strikingly located alongside the beach, and there is an impressive arcade of classy boutiques at the lobby. What’s more, the beach is sublime: a curved bay of white sand and blue water that is ideal for walking, swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing.
Sheraton Fiji Resort – The Basics
- Location: On Denarau Island, attached to the main island of Viti Levu. Denarau is a gated complex of upmarket resorts and not really an ‘island’, but joined to the mainland and accessible along a 50m-long causeway. About 8 km from downtown Nadi and 15 km from the airport.
- Guests: Caters overwhelmingly for families, although it also welcomes adults without children with special areas and a child-free pool.
- Beach: This resort has the best beach on Denarau Island, and one of the finest in Fiji. White sand and calm water that is ideal for swimming and kayaking.
- Views: Many rooms have sea views, but some are distant, and many views, especially from the ground floor, can be partially blocked.
- WiFi: Free for guests throughout the hotel.
- Parking: Always somewhere for guests to park for no cost.
- Nice Perks: Guests can use the facilities in the adjoining and associated resorts: the Sheraton Villas and the Westin Resort.
- How to Book: Booking.com will have the best rates.

Sheraton Fiji Resort – The Hotel

The resort has almost 300 rooms, all in the same square and in similar blocks.

The layout of the resort is quite lovely, with minor touches all over, like lilies in stone vases.

The adults-only pool is magnificent, though it’s within earshot of the family pool.

The main lagoon-style pool meanders across the grounds alongside the beach.

The pool offers lots of shady palms and superb views of the sea.

The pool also features a swim-up bar, perfect for cocktails at sunset.

The pool seems to stretch forever, so there’s plenty of space for everyone.

The Sheraton boasts the finest beach on Denarau Island.

The resort beach is excellent for sunbathing and walking.

Not all the beach areas around the resort are that inviting, but the views are always excellent.

The beaches around the resort are lined with lounge chairs.

The rooms are well-appointed, with a subtle blend of soothing colors.

At the resort, the Feast Restaurant has a long bar.

It serves buffet breakfast and excellent evening meals.

In the lobby area, The Pantry serves coffee, pastries, and light meals.

The resort offers an impressive range of elegant shops in an arcade.

In between the rooms, there is a small but decent playground on the sand.

The Big Bula Water Park is enjoyed by adults and children.

About 1.2 km away, and accessible by bus, is the Denarau Golf Course.

The Bula Bus connects every resort (and the golf course) on Denarau Island with all the fantastic shops, cafés, and other facilities at Port Denarau.

The Westbus company links Denarau Island with downtown Nadi.

There isn’t much reason to visit downtown Nadi, although the handicraft center is worth a look.

Easily accessible on the Bula bus is Port Denarau, a marina with luxury boats.

Port Denarau offers many great places to eat, drink, and shop.

It is also the departure point for boat trips and ferries to the outer islands.

One of numerous places to shop in Port Denarau is Jack’s of Fiji, part of a chain of elegant souvenir shops.

The Indigo Indian Asian Restaurant & Bar is one of several classy eateries at Port Denarau.

Bonefish is another excellent waterside café there serving seafood.
