Six Senses Fiji

Scattered across the South Pacific, Fiji is a string of more than 300 islands, which embody most people's idea of a tropical island idyll with their powdery white sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise water, and swaying palm trees. It’s the kind of place that feels made for an easy family escape. Some of the best beach resorts come with kids clubs, spacious villas, and plenty of activities, but you'll also find affordable hotels that still put you right by the ocean. Whether you’re after a luxury island resort with all the bells and whistles or a laid-back beachfront stay, Fiji has plenty of family-friendly spots to choose from.

For the activities

Paradise Cove Resort

  • Set on a private island, Paradise Cove Resort is a lively beach resort that keeps families busy from sunrise to sunset. Think colourful Fijian-style villas with ocean view terraces, a buzzing Kids Club, a dive centre and daily boat trips. Spend your days kayaking, snorkelling and fishing, before unwinding with fresh seafood dinners overlooking the water.
  • With just two beachfront villas, Taveuni Palms feels like your own private island escape. Each comes with a pool, terrace and a team of staff, including chefs who cook Fijian feasts. Families can dive Rainbow Reef, ride into the hills, kayak along the coast or try hands-on cooking classes. There's something here for all ages to get stuck into.
  • Spread across a private island, Kokomo Private Island Fiji is a villa-only retreat that's built for families who like space and adventure. Expect three-to-six-bedroom residences with private pools, bold interiors and Chris Kenyon artwork.

Mediterranean grills, Fijian dishes and Asian street food are on the menu after an action-packed day.
