Over 300 beautiful islands make up the archipelago of Fiji in the South Pacific Ocean, and the sheer natural beauty of the coral beaches and palm fringed shorelines make it one of the most idyllic holiday destinations in the world, and one that thousands of travellers aspire to visiting every year. With a reputation for being a divers paradise, and an ideal stop on a round the world adventure, Fiji is a place that people dream about visiting, and one of the few places on earth that actually lives up to the fantasy.
From colourful Nadi to the luxury resorts of Denarau island, or the reefs and beaches of the coral coast, the main island of Viti Levu is the principal destination for people travelling to Fiji and provides a wonderful, memorable experience.
A visit to Fiji is an excellent addition to a holiday touching the South Pacific, and the idyllic resorts on offer are great places to stay for a few days in order to relax after a breakneck tour of Australia.
You can get reasonably cheap flights to Fiji as part of a round the world itinerary, and accommodation is extremely good value for money if you book it in advance.
Although the islands remain a little off the beaten track for many travellers from Britain, increasingly they are growing in popularity and becoming one of the many must see destinations on people's wish lists.
