Coral Coast

Go Back

 Scenic, Cultural, Relaxed

Stretching along Viti Levu’s southern shoreline between Sigatoka and Pacific Harbour, the Coral Coast is one of Fiji’s most iconic coastal drives — a ribbon of white-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, and reef-fringed shores. Known for its blend of resort luxury and authentic Fijian village life, it’s an exceptional setting for destination weddings, family reunions, wellness retreats, and incentive escapes that want both beauty and culture.

The Coral Coast is home to some of Fiji’s most beloved resorts, many with event spaces that maximise the region’s oceanfront setting. Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort is a standout for weddings, with its Bebe Spa Chapel perched high on a hill overlooking the coast. The Warwick Fiji offers expansive lawns and beachfront ceremony spaces, while Shangri-La Yanuca Island combines a private island feel with easy mainland access — perfect for larger conferences or exclusive celebrations.

Beyond the resort walls, the Coral Coast offers event organisers an unmatched cultural connection. Villages welcome groups for meke dance performances, kava ceremonies, and lovo feasts, which can be seamlessly integrated into pre- or post-event programmes. Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage–listed site, provides a dramatic backdrop for photography or small, symbolic gatherings, adding a sense of history and place to an event itinerary.

Adventure and nature experiences also shine here. The Kula WILD Adventure Park offers unique opportunities for family-friendly or incentive activities, while river safaris on the Sigatoka River take guests deep into the island’s interior. For wellness retreats, the combination of beachfront yoga decks, on-site spas, and quiet stretches of sand create a rejuvenating atmosphere that blends naturally into event programming.

The Coral Coast is well-served by road, just a 1–2 hour drive from Nadi International Airport and within reach of Suva, making it accessible for both international delegates and domestic attendees. Resorts here are accustomed to hosting events of all sizes, from intimate gatherings to multi-day conferences, and many have dedicated wedding and event coordinators to streamline planning.

Event types that thrive on the Coral Coast include beach weddings with local cultural elements, corporate retreats combining meetings with adventure activities, wellness and yoga retreats in tranquil oceanfront settings, and community-focused events that partner with nearby villages. The laid-back atmosphere encourages attendees to slow down, connect with each other, and experience Fiji at a more personal pace.

For guests, the Coral Coast offers a balance of seclusion and access. You can spend mornings in conference sessions with ocean breezes, afternoons exploring reefs or villages, and evenings under a canopy of stars listening to the sound of waves. It’s an event setting that delivers both postcard beauty and genuine cultural depth — a combination that makes it unforgettable.
