3 Fabulous Family Resorts in Fiji Worth a Splurge

If you’re daydreaming about a place where your family can unplug, connect and explore, Fiji delivers. This South Pacific country has more than 300 islands, each with its own unique vibe. The Mamanucas are all about crystal-clear waters and water sports galore, while the Yasawas offer quiet beaches and epic sunsets for a peaceful escape. Viti Levu, the main island, serves up all-inclusive resorts, ziplining, waterfall hikes and a taste of Fijian culture.

Imagine your kids making friends in local villages, joining in kava ceremonies and learning the traditional meke dance. Fijian culture is big on family and community, so you’ll feel right at home. And the locals? They’re as warm as the island sun.

Here are three of our favorite family resorts in Fiji that make it hard to say moce (goodbye in Fijian).

Best Family Resorts in Fiji

Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort, Vanua Levu

An eco-luxury gem, this resort is named after the famous French scuba pioneer and owner Jean-Michel Cousteau, and is dedicated to marine conservation. Located on Vanua Levu, Fiji’s second-largest island, it’s ideal for families who want to explore the natural beauty of Fiji with a touch of elegance.

Here’s what makes it a standout: a five-night-minimum, all-inclusive stay that covers everything from meals to activities, including access to the Bula Club. This kids’ club is a paradise within a paradise, featuring a pool, water slide, zipline, trampoline and personal nannies or buddies assigned to each child. Kids can try their hand at Fijian cooking classes, learn about coral reefs in eco-friendly adventures or dive into arts and crafts.

For kids under five, the resort offers a dedicated nanny, allowing parents to take advantage of incredible activities like diving on the Great Astrolabe Reef, kayaking or enjoying a traditional bobo massage right by the ocean.

Complimentary family excursions include hikes to hidden waterfalls, visits to nearby villages and rainforest treks. For an extra-special treat, book a snorkeling trip led by a resident marine biologist — an amazing way for the whole family to discover Fiji’s vibrant marine life up close.

And if you have teens, check out the new Summer Expedition Package launched in 2024, designed just for ages 13 to 17. This program includes cool activities like scuba diving, river tubing, night snorkeling and even village visits where they can hang out with Fijian teens. It’s so engaging, they might even forget their screens exist!

TIP: Our CB Travel Advisors can book all of these properties for you with access to exclusive perks like complimentary breakfast, upgrades upon availability, early check-in/late check-out and resort credits, at the same rate as if you booked directly. Reach out to us for details.

Six Senses Fiji, Malolo Island

For multigenerational families or large groups, Six Senses on Malolo Island offers the space and service to make everyone feel pampered. Choose from one- to five-bedroom residences, each with its own private pool and Instagram-worthy views. And yes, nanny services and butlers are available, so everyone has a chance to relax.

The Grow With Six Senses program offers educational activities for kids age 4 to 12 that focus on nature, culture and wellness. In the dedicated Kids’ Club, young travelers can get creative with Fijian handicraft workshops, go on treasure hunts and even learn to make kokoda, Fiji’s answer to ceviche, with fresh fish marinated in citrus juice and coconut milk. Da kana (bon appetit)!

Teens are covered too, with paddleboarding, snorkeling and surfing lessons taught by experienced instructors. There’s no shortage of ways to explore Fiji’s stunning marine life while picking up a new skill or two.

Six Senses makes family time a breeze with activities like beach picnics, movie nights under the stars and guided nature walks where you can learn about local plants and wildlife together. Take the family out for a day of water sports on a glass-bottom boat or go sailing on the resort’s swanky catamaran. The mix of relaxation and adventure here makes it easy for everyone to have their version of a perfect vacation.

VOMO Island Fiji

For a truly private island experience, VOMO is a favorite for a reason. Located off the coast of Viti Levu, Fiji’s main island, VOMO spoils its youngest guests (and their parents!) with services like a baby butler, who is available four hours a day to assist with childcare.

Kids of any age are welcome, but those under three need a parent with them to access the Kids’ Village, where the fun never stops. The club is packed with a playroom, craft tables, outdoor climbing areas and a media room. Activities for little ones range from basket weaving and beach explorations to dress-up play.

Parents, don’t worry — you’re in for some pampering too. VOMO’s adults-only Rocks Beach Club features an infinity pool with in-pool seating and a bar for sipping on cocktails while you soak up the sun. You can also play a round on the par-three golf course, indulge in spa treatments or sneak off to the nearby island of Vomo Lailai for a romantic, private picnic. Only one couple is allowed per day, making it the ultimate exclusive escape.

In 2024, VOMO unveiled a massive coral reef sculpture created by the nonprofit Counting Coral. This 60-foot living artwork, now home to more than 370 corals, serves as both a conservation project and a stunning attraction. The sculpture is easily accessible on a snorkeling tour, making it a beautiful way to introduce kids to ocean conservation efforts.

Family Travel Tips for Fiji

If you’re traveling from North America, you can fly direct from LAX to Nadi Airport on either Air New Zealand or Fiji Airways.  To recover from the long flight (usually around 11 to 15 hours), consider spending a night or two in Nadi. This city has plenty to explore, from colorful markets and cultural sites to local restaurants serving up authentic Fijian cuisine. Here are our favorite family-friendly activities in Nadi:

• Sabeto Hot Springs and Mud Pool: Kids can cover themselves in mud and relax in the natural hot pools.
• Kula Wild Adventure Park: Visit Fiji’s wildlife park with ziplining, splash pools and hands-on interactions with local animals.
• Fiji Culture Village: Experience Fijian traditions with a kava ceremony and cultural performances.

Whether you’re diving into the ocean with your teens, having a picnic on a deserted island or watching your little ones try their first Fijian dance, Fiji has something to make every moment special. It’s a place where family, nature and adventure come together, creating memories that last a lifetime.
