Levu. International Airport, on the
west coast of Viti Levu, is the gateway

Beachcomber Island, 11 miles

rooms and a dormitory, it is the most
informal of the resorts near Nadi and
not expensive.
Vitu Levu is encircled by a
317-mile road. More than 40 miles

The Fijian Resort Hotel is a
364-room luxury resort located on an
100-acre island 35 miles from Nadi on
the Coral Coast. This is a full-scale
resort with two swimming pools,
dining rooms, a nine-hole golf course,
lawn bowling, sports, horseback
riding, dancing nightly, and a distinctly
Fijian-style amenity — fire walking. A
rare rite done to cleanse the spirit, in
which devotees walk on hot coals, fire
walking is guaranteed to light up just
about any evening. The Hyatt
