Resort hopping around Fiji

To feel less guilty, we made sure we enjoyed morning tea or lunch or afternoon tea while we were there.

Have a mud bath at the Sabeto Hot Springs and Mud Pool

[{"selector":"#anim-e8773577-bbb3-486c-bbdb-12c5b80a78ec","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d3929051-1f0b-482a-b06e-f4ae7009b9ca","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.00000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] The Sabeto Hot Springs and Mud Pool is a very family-bonding sort of experience. The kids loved getting coated in the thermal mud and we parents loved the hot baths to wash it off in.

Kava drinking

It’s a great way to show your kids how other people live.

Explore Nadi for a city experience

[{"selector":"#anim-235ca407-3719-4a1c-91d0-e63ed2715134","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cda11a1d-b615-4660-b1ee-7f1118518bfc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.00000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] I love to relax as much as the next person, but I’m far too curious to stay put for long. Which is why I dragged the family around the markets and streets of Nadi, meeting the locals, taking pictures and generally trying to soak up what life in Fiji is really like.

Surf the Coral Coast

[{"selector":"#anim-9adcce52-f2f7-455a-a579-14892ed12724","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1dcba843-37ef-4a7e-8d6b-f7c2db59fdd4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.00000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] The Coral Coast is arguably the point in which family-friendly meets surfer level, and has a few beaches with gentle waves, but is only a stone’s throw away from beaches with tougher waves.
