Denarau Island is the central tourism hub of Fiji. With more than nine major hotel options, including world-recognised names such as Sheraton, Sofitel, Radisson, Hilton, and the Westin, among others. The Marina at Port Denarau provides Fiji’s finest off-resort dining and shopping experience. While working up a hunger walking around the premium shops and handicraft retailers, the many eclectic dining options available include steak, seafood, Indian, and many traditional Fijian cuisines.

Denarau Island is also the launching pad for the Mamnuca and Yasawa Islands, and being in very close proximity to Nadi Airport only adds to Denarau’s draw.

Getting around Denarau Island

Bula Buses provide a thatched roof-themed transport service, that circles around Denarau Island between the port, resorts, waterpark, and golf course. The Bula Bus is the only transport you will need to get around the island.
