5 Steps to Plan the Most Luxurious Fiji Island Vacation

Fiji is known for outstanding hospitality, incredible accommodation, and having the world’s most beautiful tropical islands. There are places for both relaxation and adventure, and lavish private resorts provide unequaled privacy during your trip here. The island nation was even one of the world’s safest destinations this year. It’ hard for us to find a reason you should choose anywhere other than Fiji for your next luxury getaway. So, what are you waiting for?

If you haven’t booked a Fiji island vacation already, we are willing to bet it’s because of the planning.

For all of Fiji’s superlative qualities, the planning process is a stumbling block for certain travelers. Fiji is frequently thought of as a far off and remote destination – one that is worth the time and travel, but difficult to reach. Even the word “Fiji” conjures up scenes of seclusion and remote tropical islands. It’s time to kick some of these assumptions to the curb.

Today, Fiji certainly remains a tropical paradise, but the challenge of travel is no longer accurate. With daily international flights and an excellent network of domestic airports, Fiji is not only easy to get to, but fun to travel. Here are the only five steps you need to take to have the most luxurious Fiji island vacation on your winter itinerary.

#1: Decide on Your Island Destination

Each of the 106 inhabited islands in Fiji is unique. This means visitors are spoilt for choice when it comes to planning a vacation, but similarly requires those planning a luxury vacation to choose their island destination judiciously. If you want to experience word-class diving, then you nee to pick an island near those dive sites. Those looking for a private resort experience need to select an island that offers upscale accommodation.

Of course, at Raiwasa we are only slightly biased about the best island in Fiji. The affectionately named “Garden Island” of Fiji is our home, and for that reason alone Taveuni is always a top choice when recommended Fiji vacations to friends and family. However, the biased is justified by Taveuni’s natural beauty and opportunities for a luxurious vacation.

#2: Discover Your Accommodation Options

With an island destination in mind, it’s time to find the right accommodation. The options in Fiji range from basic beach huts to outstanding private properties, such as Raiwasa. How do you know if an accommodation option is right for your lavish getaway? Be selective. When planning a dream vacation, you want to ensure your hotel or resort selection offers the best in luxurious spaces and service.

#3: Stay Focused on the Details

Also, it is important to pay attention to the details of a luxury resort. Do you have access to outdoor spaces, such as Bali beds, deck chairs, and outdoor dining? Are these spaces shared or private? Will you have air conditioning in your master bedroom or are you at the mercy of Fiji’s tropical climate? Is dining restricted to specific hours or can you order a meal at 1:00AM?

A luxury resort that offers you great flexibility and privacy will proudly talk about these features on their website and social media. But if you are ever in doubt whether a private resort meets the high standards you have for a trip, just ask.

#4: Choose an All-Inclusive Resort or Fiji Vacation Package

If you want to truly make planning for your Fiji island vacation a breeze, then your best bet is an all-inclusive or pre-packaged option. With a single booking you have arranged accommodation, activities, meals, and often, transportation once you are on the island. Most private resorts and luxury properties will offer various packages that include different activities or services. This will give you flexibility in planning your trip and deciding exactly what you want included in the experience.

#5: Book Your Flight

Now you know where you are going and when, and there is only one step left to making your Fiji luxury vacation a reality – it’s time to book your flight. As we said, Fiji has daily flights from international destinations; there are over 30 international flights that land at Fiji’s biggest airport every day. Fiji is easily accessible from New Zealand, Australia, South Korea, Hong Kong, and other places in Oceania.

From the United States, Fiji can be reached on a direct or one-stop flight plan. There are direct flights between Fiji and Hawaii or Los Angeles. As well, travelers from Canada can take the Fiji Airways flight to Los Angeles and onward to Vancouver, without changing planes.
