Currently, caught in the depths of a super cold Aussie winter, cuddled up on the couch scrolling through IG feeds full of beachside getaways? It’s about time to plan a trip of your own, and why not make it a girls’ trip?
Data from Hayu shows that 47% of women had improved mental health following a girls’ getaway, which really shouldn’t be surprising. There are few things more rejuvenating than spending time with your girlfriends, especially when there are free-flowing cocktails, endless spa treatments and zero responsibilities involved.
So, with super cheap flights to Fiji from Australia on Fiji Airways right now, we thought we’d round up the four best resorts in the archipelago to go to with your girlfriends. Goodbye, cold winter nights, hello Piña coladas and butler service!
Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa
The Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa is a great option for you and your girl gang to let loose or relax; or maybe both!?
Home to the Waitui Adults Only Beach Club, the resort provides an exclusive adults-only wonderland, with a daily cocktail hour that serves complimentary drinks at sunset. Yes, that’s right: free cocktails in paradise. And if that doesn’t tickle your fancy enough, it also boasts a Veuve Clicquot Champagne Bar, live entertainment and private cabanas.
If your girl gang is less about partying and more about self-care, don’t worry, they have that too. The So Spa offers heaps of incredible massage packages, that include facials, manicures, pedicures, deep tissue massages… you name it.
The hotel also has a nutritionist-designed restaurant menu, daily personal training, yoga, Pilates, or stretching classes — if you’re looking for some healthy balance.
Shangri-La Fiji
If you’re looking for lush, look no further than the Shangri-La Fiji. Overlooking Viti Levu’s idyllic Coral Coast on one side and its own private beach and lagoon on the other, the resort offers an authentic and private Fiji island experience.
It’s also literally like a hotel out of a film. It’s so beautifully designed, with views of the ocean from almost every room, hotel staff walking around in white linen outfits and food and drinks available from wherever you are in the resort; it’s the definition of relaxation in a place.
The Chi Spa at the Shangri-La in Fiji is one of it’s best assets. It’s treatments are based on authentic natural healing methods found in traditional well-being practices that derive from Asian cultures. They also showcase Fiji’s natural botanical products, so that you get the full Fiji health experience.
While the resort has a selection of six bars and restaurants to choose from, the Shangri-La Fiji is definitely for a girl gang that are into health, wellness and relaxation — with the occasional cocktail.
Tokoriki Island Resort
Set on the stunning Tokoriki Island, the Tokoriki Island Resort is strictly adults-only, which is a total vibe for a girls’ getaway. No kids running around and just cocktails all day? Yes, please.
Plus, it’s also in a private destination, which means that it has its own reef; purely for guests only.
They have a luxury spa with unlimited massages (yep, as many as you want), fresh water and salt water swimming pools, as well as a bunch of activities that will keep you busy between bevs. Think traditional basket weaving, board games, garden chess, reading bure and glass bottom boat trips.
The Tokoriki Island Resort perfectly combines adventure, education, luxury and fun, all in the one place.
Malamala Beach Club
Malamala Beach Club, which reopened back in April, is the world’s first island beach club.
The island boasts a white sand beach, beachside cabanas with private butler service, poolside daybeds, resort-style infinity edge pool, full-service bar and restaurant and stunning views across the Mamanucas.
The resort is basically an all-day every day party. With laidback tunes playing all day long, light bites from Executive Chef Winston Fong and an array of water activities on offer should you choose to leave the sunbeds, the Malamala Beach Club will get your girl gang letting loose in no time.
Castaway Island Resort
Castaway Island Resort is set on its own private island in the Mamanuca Islands. The island’s 174 acres are covered in rich tropical rainforest, surrounded by white sand beaches, vibrant coral reef and bright blue ocean. In short: it’s stunning, but also peaceful — an ideal island home for you and your best gals.
The resort caters to whatever kind of girl’s trip you want, whether it’s water activities and adventures every day, simply lounging, eating and drinking, or a full-on spa pamper-fest.
