Another beautiful beach located in the Yasawa islands. There is a luxury resort here called the Yasawa resort and spa.

This is a small island a ferry ride away from Suva, it used to be a prison island in the 1900’s. Now it has been converted to an amazing day trip destination from Suva, for its prestine beaches and blue water. There is no resort here but it is definitely worth your time.

Also a Boat ride away from Suva, this place is paradise. It has a small resort on it called the Leleuvia island resort. Surrounded by crystal clear blue water and a white sand beach.
Caqalia beach
This is also a private small island a couple of hours away from Suva. There is no resort here other than a basic tenting beach. Caqalai island is perfect if you just want to get away from it all. Given the choice I would opt for one of the other island beaches as they will have bathrooms at the resort as well as restaurants.
The Best Beach near Denarau
Natadola Beach
You are probably seeing a trend here, this is a must visit beach. We included it in this section because Nadi and Denarau are very close to each other. It is an hour and 20 minutes from Denarau.

Momi bay is 20-30 mins from Denarau. There are tours that take you to this beach.

Don’t go to Denarau beach. You will hate it. Denarau is man made and has great resorts on it, but they lack in the beach department. If you are in Denarau, you are going to want to take a ferry out to the surrounding islands to go for a great day trip.
