Whether to travel on vacation, relax or escape the routine, the beach is always a good choice, and Fiji Islands is a paradise we all must visit. Its beaches are always part of the landscape, and we can always see them on post cards and traveling magazines everywhere.
Located in the south of the Pacific Ocean and with a total of 333 tropical islands in its territory, Fiji is one of the most popular destinations around the world, not only for its beaches, coral reefs and tropical forests, but also for its all-inclusive hotels and an interesting range of outdoor adventures. It seems like a considerable number of islands to visit, but only one hundred of them are inhabited; and only nine of them are big. The most important ones are Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, since 80% of the population live in these two islands.
Without a doubt, the best place to start our tour in this paradise island is Viti Levu, famous for being the place where the name “Fiji” comes from; because in English that is how it’s pronounced. But also because Suva is there. Suva is the capital of the Fiji islands, and it is its most populous city, which besides being the epicenter of politics and business, has the best buildings and iconic and historical places, such as the Catholic cathedral, the Government House, Fiji museum or Albert park, among others. You must visit this place in order to understand this fascinating nation.
However, another Viti Levu town that is very touristic is Nadi. Its white sandy beaches and clear water, incredible natural landscapes and the opportunity to perform many outdoor activities summarizes all it has to offer us. In addition, this city is where Nadi International Airport is.
Near the airport, there is a very picturesque market where we can get the most beautiful souvenirs from Fiji, including carved coral pieces and sea shells, typical jewelry and posters with the best pictures from the region.
Besides beaches, nature and adventure, an additional attraction of Fiji lies in its diversity, product of a mosaic of cultural contributions from India, China and Europe, which is present in every aspect of their daily lives, in gastronomy, architecture, traditions and beliefs.
However, the most important aspect to enjoy in Fiji is the tropical weather all year long, although the ideal time to visit it is from June to October, because it is the dry season.
If your intention is to enjoy a true paradise with beaches, culture and adventure, this is the place for you. Do not hesitate, go to Fiji, because Fiji is waiting for you.
