Best Time to Visit Fiji
The best time to visit Fiji for a luxury escape is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. During these months, the weather is consistently sunny with low humidity and pleasant temperatures ranging from 20°C to 27°C. This period offers the best visibility for diving and snorkeling. The shoulder months of April and November can also be excellent, offering fewer crowds while still maintaining mostly fair weather.
Currency & Money
The local currency is the Fijian Dollar (FJD). While luxury resorts, high-end restaurants, and major tour operators accept all major credit cards (Visa and Mastercard are most common), it is useful to carry some cash for local markets or small gratuities. Tipping is not mandatory or expected in Fiji, but a small gratuity for exceptional service at a high-end resort is always appreciated as a gesture of 'Bula' spirit.
Getting Around Fiji
For a luxury itinerary, domestic flights and private transfers are the preferred methods of transport. Fiji Link offers domestic flights between Nadi, Suva, and the outer islands. For island transfers, private speedboats and helicopters provide the most efficient and scenic routes. On the main island of Viti Levu, private chauffeured SUVs are the standard for high-end travelers, avoiding the slower public bus system.
