The Best Ways to Do Nothing at All on Your Trip to Fiji

Most people plan their Fiji getaway with rest and relaxation in mind, but when you arrive it quickly becomes apparent that the islands are packed with exciting excursions, adventures, and tours. These activities offer a very different way for your to recharge, but they certainly aren’t the laidback holiday you first pictured. With all of the enticing options, how can you set yourself up for a truly relaxing and “do nothing” trip to Fiji?

Let Yourself Sleep In – Or Not

We spend the majority of our days waking and working, living and existing by the call of a single inanimate object – the alarm. Whether you are a single alarm person or snooze for an entire hour, research suggests that people detest their alarms. In fact, a fascinating study that found over 53% of people would describe their first reaction to their morning alarm as “dreadful.” Other stats aren’t much better with nearly 30% of Americans describe their alarm as a huge source of anxiety.

Your trip to Fiji is the perfect time to forget the alarm and let your natural rhythms dictate the schedule. Up at 6:00 am for a cup of coffee? Great, your book is waiting out on our sweeping veranda. Need to sleep till noon? No worries. A whole other set of research confirms that people feel healthier, stronger, more alert, and happier when they wake up on their own.

Pick Accommodation That Facilitates Relaxation

Doing nothing could be described as an art, and it’s an art that requires the perfect environment. You need the space to lounge about and do as you please, along with the options to change scenery or location without going far.

The problem with most hotels and resorts is they simply don’t have the space or design to let you do nothing at all. Eating areas, bures, lounge chairs, and swimming pools are all shared with other guests. Yet, no one wants to spend their day locked in a single hotel room. Raiwasa provides something very different. Our private property is three acres all your own, and it’s a space and atmosphere that facilitates relaxation and doing nothing at all.

Release the Guilt of Doing Nothing

Doing nothing at all is (almost) always an option while on vacation, but few people actually take trips that solely and singularly involve rest and relaxation. Why? There are two reasons people give for packing their trip full of activities, and thereby leaving little time for real relaxation.

The first reason: a trip with nothing to do feels like a waste of money. It’s easy to overcome this thought because simply seeing Fiji is a magical experience. You can sit for hours feasting your eyes on the 180º view from Raiwasa and still not believe it is real. To simply see Fiji is worth every penny.

The second reason: doing nothing feels like a waste of my vacation days. This idea is also untrue. We pack our days with meetings, deadlines, phone calls, commutes, dinners, and projects. Vacation is the one time that life doesn’t need to be about accomplishing and accumulating – it can simply be about living. Plus, for the people that are busy in real life, taking time away from the hustle and constant need for achievement is necessary.

Take Advantage of Raiwasa’s Infinity Pool

For the Type A personalities out there, the idea of doing nothing on your trip to Fiji is probably a bit scary. You may need some reassurance that doing nothing isn’t a waste to your trip. Well, rest assured. Raiwasa Private Resort’s stunning property is an attraction in its own right, with our infinity pool being a standout amenity.

Your days spent poolside at Raiwasa is a true pleasure. You can read your book, arrange for a massage, or float in the refreshing water. This is also an ideal location to have lunch, sip a smoothie, or take a nap on the nearby bure. Don’t forget to catch a sunset over the South Pacific and appreciate a few romantic moments with a loved one from this very spot.
