Christmas in Fiji

Celebrate Christmas in Fiji

 While some parts of the world are celebrating a white Christmas by making snowmen and baking hot roast dinners with all the trimmings, Christmas in Fiji is a different experience entirely. The warm and sunny weather means sand rather than snow and cold meats and seafood rather than a hot roast meal, much like Christmas in Australia. However, while people the world over enjoy celebrating Christmas with colourful decorations and fireworks, Fijians prefer family get togethers, church masses and carolling. However don't get us wrong, on Christmas Eve Fijian children still expect Santa to visit them with gifts.

About two weeks before Christmas Day, everyone gathers at the community's largest house and celebrates there until two weeks after New Year's Day. They sing and dance including performing the traditional 'Meke' fan (women) and spear (men) dance, an important part of any celebration in Fiji. Lamps and candles are used to decorate homes and colourful ribbons are used to decorate trees.

When it comes to the food, just like any other day in Fiji, everything is cooked in the 'lovo' underground hot stone 'oven' that are place just outside homes. A big feast is planned for either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day and some of the more popular dishes include garlic spice chicken, beef, pork, fish, cassava and Dalo. Another special dish often served at Christmas time is Palusami, spiced mutton wrapped in leaves and cooked in coconut cream. Learn more about Fiji Culture.

The traditional drink of kava is also an important part of the celebration with villages holding community parties rather than the smaller parties held between friends and relatives in the larger towns and cities. Rather than making one themselves, Fijians traditionally buy a cake to enjoy during the festive season and picnics and beach parties are held throughout the Christmas period and into the New Year.

With such beautiful weather to enjoy over the festive season, it's no wonder Fijians like to make Christmas and New Years a month-long celebration!

Fiji Goes On Tour

When you think of a holiday to Fiji it probably brings to mind images of smiling friendly faces, crystal clear waters, tropical cocktails and hammocks on the beach. While all of these things are true, a holiday to Fiji isn't just about doing as little as possible. Although you can choose to do as much or as little as you like, you might be surprised to know that there are actually plenty of things to see and do in Fiji aside from your resort's poolside cocktail menu. While relaxing should definitely still be a big part of your time on the island, make sure you don't miss out on seeing and experiencing the unique sights and attractions that the islands have to offer.

Fiji tours are a fantastic way to discover the fascinating attractions and activities the island has to offer and are also the easiest way to experience them, with transport and entry to attractions often included as well as meals sometimes also included. From a thrilling 30 minute jet boat ride to a 2 hour snorkelling experience and half and full day adventures, Fiji tours offer a variety of interesting experiences while on the islands. There are also fishing charters, cultural and village tours, island hopping, cooking schools, jet ski adventures, cruises and sailing.

Many of these golf courses are attached to stunning hotels and resorts, ideal for those who are after the stay and play option. The golf course at the Sheraton Fiji Resort is the South Pacific's premier championship course where you may find yourself sharing the green with players you recognise. The Executive Golf Course at the Novotel Hotel Nadi is a steeply sloped course which offers a real challenge while the course at Shangri-La Fijian Resort boasts a double water hazard, Tifton Dwarf greens and plenty of sand traps. However perhaps the most spectacular golfing experience goes to the championship course of the Intercontinental Fiji Golf Resort and Spa allowing you to tee off right next to the ocean.

Fiji is a popular destination for both weddings and honeymoons. However it's not just holiday makers who enjoy celebrating their special day in this tropical island paradise, many celebrities and royals have included Fiji in their weddings and honeymoons. In fact, Prince Carl Philip and his new bride Princess Sofia of Sweden are currently enjoying their honeymoon in Fiji.

Having married on Saturday 13 June, the couple travelled to Britain and Switzerland before arriving in Los Angeles where they chartered a private plane to a luxury resort on one of Fiji's smaller and more intimate islands. While the Swedish Royal Court declined to comment on exactly where the newlyweds were spending their honeymoon, we know there are plenty of options to choose from in Fiji.

The romance of the tropics is popular not just for honeymoons, but weddings in Fiji as well. Offering a much more relaxed atmosphere than a traditional western wedding, getting married in Fiji is also quite a cost effective option. Of course there's also plenty of opportunity to splash out in luxury if you want to marry or honeymoon like the royals.

Fiji consists of over 320 islands many of which are not inhabited. The main island Vitu Levu contains the capital Suva in the east and Nadi (pronounced "Nandi") on the west coast. Nadi is the location of the international airport where holiday visitors arrive. From Nadi travelers make their way to accommodation on this island or transfer to the smaller islands often after an overnight stay on Vitu Levu. The Mamanuca Group of islands are located very close to Nadi and contain a number of popular island resorts. Transfers to the closer islands are easily facilitated by boat with air transfers being more common for the outer islands and those further away.
