Fiji: Beauty, warm waters and a range of lodgings

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Call Ellen Keralla for your personalized Fiji or Tahiti vacation. 1-800-691-0243

Though the island group is uncluttered, recent development has now put it on the discerning traveler’s list.

Nadi, Fiji

Fiji is one of those island daydreams you can’t believe still exists.

The ocean is warm, turquoise, clean, and little in it stings or bites. The people are exuberantly welcoming, the drinking water is filtered. The food is safe and, in the upscale places, worthy of Michelin stars.

Despite a spate of recent development, it’s no Bora Bora, where development stacks upon development.

But American travelers have largely stopped frequenting Fiji’s virginal white beaches and simple but heavenly resorts since the military took over the government in a 2006 coup.

It’s their loss.

The word “coup” strikes fear into the hearts of travelers — understandably so. But this one in Fiji was gentlemanly and bloodless. It was even postponed for a day because of an important rugby match. Not a shot was fired, not a life lost. Most of the locals on the 300 outer islands heard about it days later, shrugged and got on with their lives.

Ignoring caution, my husband, Greg, and I decided to return to the islands, our first visit in 10 years. We were drawn by the Savusavu Music Festival, an annual event that brings in music groups from all over the South Pacific, and we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. And then there is the small thrill we derive from ignoring travel warnings — unless artillery is involved. It wasn’t.

This chain of more than 300 islands is at the westernmost edge of what is considered the Polynesian triangle of the South Pacific (the three tips being Hawaii, Easter Island and New Zealand). But the islanders are a mix of races and cultures, predominantly Melanesian-Polynesian, Indian and the descendants of European settlers. They are gracious, hospitable and friendly. We didn’t encounter any resentment toward tourists.

Fiji has accommodations to suit all budgets — from $20-a-night hostels to $3,000-a-night establishments, all with the same tropical-perfection setting.

The spate of recent development, though, has now put Fiji on the discerning traveler’s list.
