Some are on tiny palm fringed coral islands, others nestled into the rainforest far from human civilisation. There are several large International hotel chains including Sheraton, Shangri-La and Outrigger as well as some of the most exlusive small resorts in the world. However there is no stretch where commercial tourism has taken over. All Fiji resorts pride themselves on their intimacy and natural surroundings. Many resorts offer bure accommodation - individual open plan bungalows built from natural materials to reflect the traditional Fijian home.
Bures have thatch roofs, high ceilings and wooden beams.
Fijians are always smiling, are good conversationalists and are excellent with children. Their natural charm brings holiday-makers back to the same resort year after year. Guests are invited to story-telling, bush walks, volleyball on the beach or even to make a visit to the village. Most resorts have yaqona ceremonies to bring guests and hosts together for conversation.
