Fiji has one of the most extraordinary ranges of accommodation in the world — from ultra-exclusive private island resorts (among the most expensive hotels on earth) to simple backpacker bures on the Yasawa Islands. The traditional Fijian bure (a thatched bungalow) is the defining accommodation style — whether in a budget lodge or a $3,000/night luxury resort, the bure connects you to the landscape and culture in a way that a standard hotel room never could. Here are the best hotels across Fiji's key destinations for 2026.
