Top Beaches in Western Fiji
Liku Beach, located on the lush Tokoriki Island in the Mamanuca Island Group, is sure to exceed your wildest beach vacation dreams. Few beaches are able to offer beachgoers absolute serenity, but Liku Beach will fill your ears with nothing more than the swaying of palm trees brushing against one another and the gentle rushing of waves.
The lagoon and coral reefs of Liku Beach facilitate a wide variety of water sports, including paddleboarding, windsurfing, snorkeling, and kayaking. If you’re up for a little more adventure, you can also try your hand at Hobie Cat sailing. In the Fijian language, “liku” means sunset, so the beach’s name is certainly fitting. Liku Beach faces west and presents some of the best sunsets in the entire Pacific.
Near the middle of the beach’s expanse, adults may climb a staircase to the Tokoriki Island Resort and its 36 beachfront villas. The resort claims to be Fiji’s best adults-only boutique island resort, and with all the resort has to offer, it certainly lives up to the hype. Tropical outdoor showers, lush, landscaped gardens, poolside cocktails, and gourmet meals are just a few of the amenities awaiting the resort’s guests. With luxurious accommodations and beautiful beachfront, Liku Beach offers the vacation of a lifetime.
VOMO Island, a South Pacific paradise in the Mamanuca Islands, is only accessible via helicopter from Nadi International Airport or boat from Denarau Marina. The island is so small it only takes about two hours to walk its perimeter, and many beachgoers do just that -- take plenty of photos as you stroll along the island’s shore, complete with soft sand, turquoise waters, and beachfront villas.
Yasawa Beach is one of VOMO Island’s best sandy strips, where you can partake in a plethora of water adventures on a private beach. Snorkel along colorful reefs, dive among abundant sea life, or windsurf across azure waters. After you’ve maxed out on sun and sand for the day, you might want to try nearby activities including tennis, volleyball, croquet, pitch-and-putt golf, and badminton.
If you’re traveling as a family, your children can go to the kids’ club while the adults have a drink at Vomo Rocks Bar or indulge in a treatment at the spa. Since the island is dedicated to preserving its natural state, guests have the pleasure of eating organically-grown foods from the 50,000 plants of the native gardens of VOMO; any plastic bottles used on the island are recycled and the money is used to support the villages of the native staff. With gorgeous views, incredible accommodations, and sustainable environment, Yasawa Beachfront on VOMO Island is a dream come true.

The island of Viti Levu boasts many spectacular beaches, but among the best is Volivoli Beach, situated only a few kilometers from the village of Rakiraki on the northern tip of the island. The beach is treasured for its sugary, white sand, deep lagoon, and spectacular views of Viti Levu’s verdant mountains. You can enjoy all tide swimming, beach volleyball, snorkeling, and kayaking, which are just a few of the island’s most popular activities. For those looking for a more relaxing beach day, you can enjoy a seaside spa treatment or spend time with fascinating locals and world travelers. Volivoli Beach is also a popular spot for divers since it’s only a short boat ride from the diving wonderlands of Bligh Waters and the Vatu-I Ra Passage.
After all the activity on the water, you’ll work up an appetite -- head to the nearby Volivoli Beach Resort’s Nuku Bar and Grill, where you’ll be treated to local honey, house-made cheese, freshly churned honey butter, organic, local eggs, and locally caught, environmentally responsible fish. Could it get any better than this? Volivoli Beach is able to strike the perfect balance between sensibility and luxury while carefully preserving the environment and the spirit of Fiji. Pack your bags and head to Volivoli Beach!
