Coral Coast
From just south of Fiji's fascinating international gateway town of Nadi, the Queen's Highway extends along the south coast of Viti Levu to Yanuca Island and the spectacular Coral Coast with its outstanding collection of beachfront holiday resorts.
With accommodation options ranging from postcard perfect beach bures (bungalows), some with full amenities and others quite simple, to some of the world's most family friendly resorts right up to international standard beach and spa resorts, it's easy to see why the Coral Coast is the most popular holiday region in Fiji.
Here you will discover waves breaking just offshore marking the edge of the outer reef, seemingly endless white-coral-sand palm-fringed beaches, stunning lagoons, lush tropical jungle covered headlands, villages nestled in sugar cane fields, roadside stalls and Fijian shops selling handicrafts. This is where you can fish from the reef in the morning, picnic at the edge of a waterfall plunging into a rocky jungle pool at midday, eat native food cooked in an earth oven and witness a remarkable fire-walking ceremony in the evening, and then dance to the beat in a swinging nightclub until long after midnight. For many people it's the Coral Coast's warm hospitality and lively colorful culture - often marked by the honored ritual of welcoming guests with a kava drinking ceremony - that is its foremost natural attraction. And with activities including swimming, snorkeling, coral viewing by glass-bottomed boat, sailing, windsurfing and golf to name just a few, the Coral Coast offers something new and exciting to do every day. But we think it's also one of the best places in the world to just to do nothing at all.
