With its spacious thatched bungalows and expansive list of activities, Plantation Island Resort is an experience- packed tropical home away from home for families.
The resort’s Coconut Kids Club boasts daily activities with a Fijan flavour, while The Lairo Club offers activities for kids aged 12 to 16. Join the little ones at the two playgrounds, three pools, putt putt golf course (or the oceanside golf course), kayaking, surfing, snorkelling and pedalling around the island on a Bula Bike. Or make use of the child-minding facilities and 24-hour nanny service to enjoy a little alone time.
The all-inclusive Naviti Resort on Fiji’s Coral Coast is the stuff of family holiday fantasy. The resort boasts a swimming pool with a pool bar, day spa, a fitness centre, golf course, tennis courts and a beach right on your doorstep. And with activities including archery, fish feeding, coconut husking and a free kids’ club incorporating elements of Fijian culture for kids aged five to 12, the kids will never get bored. Best of all, kids 12 years and under stay and eat free when sharing their parents’ room.
Castaway Island is located in the heart of the Mamanuca Island group. This tropical paradise is the perfect spot for island activities. The whole family will enjoy snorkelling, kayaking, surfing, island tours and swimming in the two freshwater pools. There’s also a daily kids’ club with nature-based play and educational games, and babysitting is available at an hourly rate so adults can also enjoy an island-style massage.
Thatched Fijian-style family bures are available for up to 10 people and a kid-friendly buffet at Water’s Edge Restaurant makes dining easy.
Enjoy a slice of Fijian paradise while your little ones are captivated by the activities on offer at The Little Treasures Kids’ Club, which include Fijian cultural games, basket weaving and meke dance performances for parents. Take time to discover the island’s wildlife and learn how to preserve the stunning surrounds of the Mamanuca Islands through Treasure Island Resort’s many conservation projects, or seek out activities on the water like kayaking and snorkelling. Nightly entertainment and a vast variety of dining options will keep you busy when the sun sets.
Whether you show off your hat- and basket-weaving skills, attend a traditional kava ceremony, or discover the treasures of the surrounding crystal-clear water, you and the kids are sure to keep busy at Mana Island Resort & Spa. Take your pick from four stunning beaches, two freshwater pools or a range of water activities and environment programs. As the sun sets, treat yourself to a cocktail from one of the four bars, then choose from a range of international and local cuisine before enjoying the nightly entertainment.
If you’re after an intimate, rustic resort that’s all about embracing culture in a way that will keep the kids entertained, you’ll love Malolo Island Resort. Tucked up in the hills under the resort’s giant mango tree is Tia’s Treehouse, the ultimate kids’ club, giving little ones the opportunity to live like a local Malolo Islander. Activities include tapa (cloth) painting, snorkelling lessons and racing in traditional niu boats. For the big kids, there is a teenage lounge and a range of watersports for entertainment. And it’s great for large families, as the Family Bure can accommodate seven.
If you’re a family of surfers or have little grommets on your hands, the beachfront location of
Fiji Hideaway Resort & Spa makes this resort a winner. The air-conditioned bures sit just steps away from the white sandy beach, where guests can partake in snorkelling, diving, fishing and trips on a glass-bottom boat. Kids can splash as much as they desire in their own pool or enjoy a range of activities at The Hermit Crab Kids’ Club, including treasure hunts, sandcastle building, water-slide rides and more.
At DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hotel Fiji you can go from soaking up the sun in the lagoon-style pool overlooking the beach, to swimming among tropical fish in the warm waters of the South Pacific. The resort also offers a range of cultural experiences and sightseeing tours, as well as activities like horse riding, watersports and paintball. If you’re travelling with little ones, a free kids’ club runs daily and a set menu designed for children, cribs, high chairs and babysitting service allows you to holiday with ease.
