 Also known as “The Fijian" and Fiji's largest hotel, the Shangri-La’s Fijian Resort & Spa mega-resort occupies all 105 acres of flat YANUCA ISLAND, which is joined to the mainland by a short one-lane bridge. It is bordered by a crystal clear lagoon and a coral-colored sand beach, both superior to those at Denarau Island. Water sports activities here include diving. Covered walkways link the hotel blocks to restaurants and bar buildings adjacent to swimming pools. The spacious rooms and suites are all shore-side, and each room has a view of the lagoon and sea from its own private balcony or patio. Suites have separate bedrooms and two bathroom sinks, and six luxurious Ocean Premier units on one end of the sprawling property are reserved exclusively for couples. The resort has a striking glass-walled wedding chapel, and many boutiques, including a Jack’s handicrafts shop. Flying foxes (very big bats) literally hang out from the trees by the handicrafts area. Away from the throngs at the end of the island, the Chi Spa Village is a knockout, with bungalow-like treatment rooms where you can spend the night after being pampered. Firewalking and meke are presented on Friday nights.
