The Fiji archipelago includes more than 300 islands scattered across some 230,000 sq. Just over 100 of these islands are inhabited. The main Islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu comprise 85 percent of the total land mass. Some islands are surrounded by coral reefs which create large lagoons and form superb natural harbours. The larger islands are primarily volcanic in origin with high rugged peaks.
Smaller islands are mainly coral or limestone.
Fiji enjoys a warm and pleasant tropical climate without extremes of hot and cold. There is a mild dry season from May to October with slightly higher temperatures Novemeber to April. In towns and villages and during evening hours at some resorts, smart casual attire is more appropriate. Ties are never required except on formal occasions.
