Fiji Travel - About The Fiji Islands Fiji is a country of over 300 islands in the South Pacific Ocean. Our resort is on Vanua Levu, the second largest island in Fiji. Situated south of the equator, this tropical paradise is easily accessible from Los Angeles, Hawaii, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland and Tokyo. Fiji Travel Information - Entry Requirements No shots are necessary to go to Fiji. All visitors to Fiji require a passport. Entry visas are granted on arrival for a stay of four months for nationals of Australia, the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom. (Please check with your nearest Fijian Embassy for other countries' entry requirements. Visas may be extended for up to six months; please contact the Embassy for details. People who wish to work or reside in Fiji must obtain the appropriate visa prior to arrival in Fiji. Electricity The electricity in Fiji is 240 volt 50 Hz AC (alternating current). The plug is a 3-prong plug, just like those used in Australia and New Zealand. The resort has a few converters that guests may use, but in high occupancy time periods, it is best to have your own converter with you for cameras or laptops. Converters are available at many department stores in the travel & luggage section. Here is a picture of the socket (left) & plug (right). Fiji Weather Information Fiji enjoys a tropical climate year-round. You can expect warm temperatures: 75 to 90 degrees with humidity during the day, and 70 to 78 at night. The resort is located on a point of land that receives cool breezes for most of the year. In your bure, you will find two walls of louvered windows to take advantage of these breezes. Fiji is located in the tropics, so there is always the possibility of a rain shower, but normally these showers will last a short while and then move on. Because Fiji is so close to the equator, there is little variation in the seasons, although the "summer" months of December through March are known to have a little more rain and humidity. Dress We are a casual resort so pack your bags for fun and sun. Shorts, cotton shirts, sundresses, and bathing suits are all appropriate. Don't forget sunglasses, a hat and perhaps a cover-up, since Fiji's sun can be fierce. Some excursions are best tackled in sandals or sports style footwear. Even in our winter (U.S. summer), the climate is tropical, but it's wise to bring a sweater for the evenings, just in case. What Else to Bring You also may want to bring: a camera with extra film, sunblock/sunscreen, a Walkman/personal CD player, reef-walkers or other comfortable shoes for walking along the coral sand beach, spare glasses or contact lenses. Access Outside the Resort There are no telephones in the bures. A public phone is located in the reception area. The reception staff will be happy to fax anything that you need to have faxed. There is also Internet access available for a small charge in a private area behind the front desk.
