Top Ways to Decrease Stress While at a Fiji Private Resort

Your days at a Fiji private resort should be dreamy and peaceful. The purpose of secluded properties, like Raiwasa, is offering the height of relaxation, calm, and quiet. It isn’t hard to imagine that your trip to a Fiji private resort is going to be totally stress-free, but vacation doesn’t always turn out the way we imagine.

Even in these idyllic locations, it’s difficult to dispel the stressors of work, family, and other commitments. Looking for some ways to decrease stress while on your Fiji vacation? Here are a few of our top tips.

Meditate in the Morning

Meditation is exceptional for your health. It helps quiet the mind, builds focus, and even lowers your blood pressure.

However, meditation takes some practice. Many people find meditation extremely difficult at first, and can even become frustrated with the time it occupies in a morning routine. Amongst the chaos of showers and breakfast, kids leaving for school and early morning emails, it’s no wonder that hitting pause doesn’t seem ideal. However, once you learn to meditate it can improve your mood and set a good tone for your entire day.

At a Fiji private resort, you have plenty of time to meditate in the morning. Here, you have no appointments or phone calls, there aren’t schedules or deadlines. This freedom from other commitments takes away the frustration of meditation, and allows you to cultivate a relaxing, meditation practice. Best of all this is one stress-free activity that can carry over into your everyday life.

Discover Fiji’s Marine Life

The amount of marine life found around the Fijian islands is incredible. There are nearly 1,200 different species of tropical, reef fish identified around Fiji. These beautiful animals, from angelfish to turtles, and to sharks and dolphins are incredible to watch as they glide gracefully through the water. Simply seeing the ease and calm of these beautiful creatures can bring calm to your own soul.

While visiting a Fiji private resort, you’ll have the opportunity to grab a kayak, paddleboard, or snorkel set and head to the water. At a Fiji private resort, you won’t have the added stress of booing equipment or showing up early, the paddleboards and kayaks are all yours for the week. Not only are you certain to see a vast array of marine animals, but the light, physical activity can build endorphins and increase serotonin in your body – making you not only less stressed, but also happier.

Not looking for a physical pursuit on your trip? From Raiwasa Private Resort you can catch a glimpse of dolphins in the morning or head out on a boat trip across the Somosomo Strait.

Spend a Day on the Beach

If your soul is craving a beach vacation, there could actually be some science behind the desire for a Fiji getaway. Simply being on the beach is shown to reduce stress. What is it about these sandy escapes that settle our minds and lower our stress levels?

Studies show that sound and rhythm of the ocean is a natural cadence for humans. After all, our bodies are over 60% water, and being near bodies of water is comforting. Focusing on the constant sound of the ocean and its consistent sound helps you drown out the other noises of your life, both literal and figurative. In Fiji, a private beach doesn’t have traffic or stop lights, chatter or trains.

Other reasons you should make it to a Fijian beach? Your Fiji private resort has beach access all its own. You won’t have to battle other vacationers for space on the sand or ordering a beverage. Also, the temperature in Fiji is ideal for sitting in the shade and dips in the warm seawater. You can easily rotate between reading in a beach bure, warming up in the sun and cooling off in the ocean.

Are you ready for your afternoon nap?

And Speaking of Naps…

A huge benefit of a Fiji private resort is the amount of space that is all your own. Unlike other hotels and crowded resort properties, your privacy isn’t restricted to a single guestroom. Instead, the entire villa and property are private and quiet. There isn’t a better environment for an afternoon or early evening nap. And trust us, no one is going to judge for deciding on a daily snooze on Raiwasa’s gorgeous veranda.
