How to live the life of luxury in Fiji

We take a look at some of the best hotels, restaurants and experiences for those keen to splash the cash.
Nanuku Auberge Resort
Nanuku is the gold-class of resorts, and magnificent experience well worth the extra splash of cash. With breathtaking Pacific Ocean views and dedicated luxury services as a base package, Nanuku seems to have left itself nowhere else to go. But once you book into one of the lavish villas, which includes a private garden complex, swimming pool, Jacuzzi, butler services, golf cart and all-inclusive dining, you will know that for Nanuku, the sky is not the limit. Days on this private island can be spent kayaking, paddle boarding and jet skiing, or participating in a soothing yoga class. Looking to add a little pizazz to you trip, why not try the making fire without matches creative workshop?
Likuliku Lagoon Resort
They say that the best things come in small packages. Well, this couldn’t be more true for the Likuliku Lagoon Resort, offering only ten private and exclusive overwater bures, each sitting majestically above the coral reef, offering panoramic ocean views. From your private balcony, you can step right into the ocean. Located on Malolo Island, there is no better place to sip on a Pina Colada from your private deck or if you prefer, from your grand bathtub. With a plethora of activities available through the resort and on the surrounding Mamanuca Islands, this is the perfect place to let your hair down and enjoy a well-deserved holiday.
CHI, The Spa at the Shangri-La
Rejuvenate your body and reawaken your senses at Shangri-La’s CHI, The Spa. Based on authentic natural healing methods found in traditional wellness practices shared by local and Asian cultures, CHI is the ultimate in spa indulgence. Not sure what to expect? Here is a quick overview of CHI’s Dusk Till Dawn package.
As dusk approaches and the sun begins to set over the horizon, start your luxurious experience with a Water Therapy Bath (served with a fruit cocktail and a platter of seasonal fruit of course), follower by a CHI Skin Polish, Aromatic Herbal Steam and a traditional Fijian Bobo Massage. After a night’s sleep, you will be woken by the rays of dawn streaming into your private balcony, where breakfast is served followed by a customized Facial.
