The Naviti Resort is a family-minded resort at Korolevu on the Coral Coast, offering the classic Fijian package of beach, pools, activities and evening entertainment at a price that sits below the grandest names on the coast. Sprawling gardens, a lively pool area and a programme of children's and adult activities give it the feel of a holiday camp done in a Fijian style, with a friendly atmosphere and plenty to do without leaving the grounds. Its Korolevu location puts the Sigatoka valley within reach to the west and Pacific Harbour and the Navua River to the east, so it is also a decent base for day trips by road. The resort is better suited to people who value activity and company than to those seeking silence, and families with children of mixed ages are among its main guests.
Getting there and around
The drive from Nadi International Airport takes roughly an hour and forty minutes, and many guests arrange a private or shared transfer. Public buses stop on the Queens Road nearby, but most visitors rely on resort tours or taxis. A day on the Sigatoka River, a visit to the sand dunes or a trip to a waterfall can all be organised from the resort, and Denarau cruises are best treated as a separate trip.
Life at the resort
The setting includes beachfront, pools and gardens, with restaurants and bars that serve a mixture of Fijian and international dishes. Expect organised activities, themed nights and cultural performances, and a degree of noise around the pool and bar areas. Rooms vary in age and size, so read recent reviews and choose a category that meets your needs. Rates are generally lower than at the premium resorts, which makes it a good choice for longer stays or larger groups.
Weighing it up
The resort suits families and groups who like a busy, sociable setting, and it is less ideal for couples seeking a very quiet honeymoon. Book early for school holidays, confirm what is included in your rate and check prices for your dates. Consider adding a few nights on Denarau or an island if you want cruises.
If you travel with children, ask about the kids programme times, minimum ages and any extra charges when you book, and ask which room blocks are closest to the pool and play areas. For adults, a room away from the main entertainment area can give you quieter nights. Bring a light rain jacket in the wet season, when showers are short but frequent, and sun protection all year.
