Fiji Family Holidays

A Fiji holiday makes for a pretty perfect vacation, whether you're looking to relax by the pool on a romantic getaway or enjoy some beach and water sports with friends. And if you're searching for a family holiday, the Fiji Islands really might be the most idyllic destination you could choose for a sun and sea break.

Family Holiday Heaven

For vacationers looking to take a holiday with kids, the sunny Fiji Islands, lapped by the warm waters of the South Pacific and home to some of the most welcoming people on the planet, offer a truly relaxing and enjoyable travel experience.

A Fiji holiday is synonymous with family holiday heaven. Firstly, the choice of accommodation across the islands is enormous from 5 star resorts down to clean and simple hotel rooms and rustic beachside cottages, known locally as a 'bure'. Not only that, but the popularity of the islands means that here are always dozens of Fiji package deals to choose from.

Island Adventure

One of the great attractions of a Fiji holiday is that you can give the family a genuine tropical island adventure – Treasure Island, Plantation Island, Mana Island and the wonderfully named Castaway Island, all have superb resorts which specialize in family holidays and have everything you could wish for to keep both adults and kids entertained. There is also the island paradise of Denarau, with a number of top hotels and family resorts dotted along its lovely sandy beaches.

Coral Coast

If you're travelling to Fiji with small children, you might find the prospect of further plane journey or a boat ride to another island a little bit too much to bear. In that case, perhaps a flight to Nadi on lovely Viti Levu and a choice of the holiday spots along the shores to her south is a better option? The Coral Coast has been a favourite with tourists for years and with its inviting blue seas, so perfect for swimming, scuba diving and snorkeling, it's a great place to kick back and unwind.

Happy Kids = Happy Adults

Many other places in the South Pacific offer fabulous beaches and a slice of island life, but one if the things that make Fiji holidays stand out is the fantastic local people and their genuine love of children. And not just for their own offspring. Fortunately for many a tired parent, the care, understanding and patience that the Fijians show in dealing with their families is easily extended to children of guests at the resorts and hotels that scatter the islands.

Many Fiji hotels and resorts run some kind of "Kids' Club" during the day and sometimes also in the evening. Often the services of the "Kids' Club" is complimentary or for an extremely reasonable fee and it's a great opportunity for children to make new friends and enjoy organized activities like sports and games whilst their parents get some much needed rest. Fijians realized a long time ago that when people book a family holiday, if the kids are happy, the adults are usually happy. This philosophy has led to families booking Fiji holidays again and again, knowing that everyone will be catered for and content. After all, a game of tennis or an hour reading a good book on the beach is guilt-free when you're kids are desperate to charge off to join their mates at the Clubhouse as soon as their breakfast is over!

Cheap Family Packages

Another bonus of a Fiji holiday is that it offers a superb vacation on a comparatively tight budget. For families, this is especially so, as most resorts and hotels charge a basic room rate which allows 2 adults and 2 children (up to 12 years or under) to share a room. If there are more than four of you, connecting rooms are also available. Many Fiji hotels also have "Kids Eat Free" deals where children can choose from a more limited menu for no extra charge if an adult is paying for a meal. Another system that some resorts prefer is to include a number of meal vouchers in each package deal booking – so encouraging tourists to spend more tie in their resort. Often, these accommodation packages also include tickets to an excursion or cultural evening, so giving guests a chance to experience some of the wonderful dancing and singing of the vibrant Fijian people.

So if you're looking for a fabulous vacation that all the family will enjoy, why not make it a Fiji holiday? We're sure it will be the first of many!
