Fiji

The 330 or so islands of the Fijian archipelago in the South Pacific are some of the most beautiful in the world. The vast majority of the population lives on the main island, Viti Levu, conveniently leaving many of the other islands either thinly populated or completely deserted. These islands, with their white sand beaches and volcanic peaks coated in lush tropical vegetation draw surfers and divers from around the world, as well as those merely happy to chill out in idyllic surroundings at some of the world’s best hotels. Original Travel and Tim Simond, author of best-selling dive guide Dive in Style, have chosen their favourites from the many outstanding hotels on offer.
