Happy Hour Hotspots
Unwind and savor the tropical vibes at Fiji's top Happy Hour Hotspots. From beachfront bars serving up refreshing cocktails to cozy lounges offering irresistible drink specials, discover the perfect spots to kick back, relax, and enjoy the magic hour in paradise.
Captain Cook’s Sunset Dinner Cruise
A glass of sparkling bubbles, soulful live music and a slow sail around Nadi Bay aboard the Fiji One catamaran is one of the best ways to bid farewell to the day. Aboard Captain Cook Cruise’s sunset dinner cruise, you’ll also enjoy a palate-pleasing tropical buffet and Fijian cultural entertainment by the friendly staff. The cruise departs every Tuesday-Sunday from Port Denarau Marina and includes complimentary transfers from Nadi and Denarau hotels.
Vuda
The historic landing point of the first Fijians, Vuda remains a meeting place for travellers from distant lands. Vuda Marina carries on this legacy as a bustling port of entry for private yachts criss-crossing the South Pacific. Quiet and breezy, it’s a great place to order up a round of drinks and starters from the aptly named Sunset Bar and watch the sun slip into a sea of offshore islands. Sunday afternoons at the marina are always rocking with excellent food, live music, and lots of locals. You can also get your dose of golden hour happiness from any of the bars at nearby resorts like First Landing Resort, Nila Beach Resort, Lander’s Bay or Anchorage Beach Resort.
Nalagi Hotel
This multi-storey hotel in Martintar may not be beachside but it’s one of the best seats in Nadi for sunset seekers. Grab a cold drink and appetizers at the rooftop bar (or infinity pool) and enjoy panoramic views out to the Sleeping Giant mountains, Nadi Bay and the distant Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands. If you’re into plane spotting, you’ll also love the unobstructed views of the airplane traffic in and out of Nadi International Airport. Once you’re done, head downstairs for dinner at Dong-Sheng; one of the best places in town for Chinese food.
Wailoaloa Beach
For local hangout spots, head to Wailoaloa Beach; a laid-back, beachy community located in Nadi Bay. With a popular public beach at one end and slew of beach bars, restaurants, and hotel rooms at the other, there’s always something happening. This vibrant corner of Nadi is a popular spot for bar and restaurant hopping, and of course, front-row seats to sensational sunsets. Dance to live music at the Wailoaloa Beach Club, sip cocktails at the Wreck’s boat bar, catch a cultural show at Smuggler’s Cove or head upstairs to Club 57 at Ramada for more elevated views of the bay. Afterwards, follow up happy hour with a delicious dinner at any of Wailoaloa’s restaurants.
Denarau Island
The west-facing views of Denarau Island’s sprawling international resorts are perfect for catching breath-taking sunsets. Follow the coastal path that connects them to discover an array of fantastic dining spots like Wyndham’s Beach Shack, Radisson’s Blu Bar & Grill, Sheraton’s Tatavu Grill & Bar, Sofitel’s Solis and Suka restaurants or Hilton’s Nuku Restaurant. For an exclusive adults-only experience, grab a seat at Sofitel’s ‘Wai Tui Beach Club’ or Hilton’s ‘Koro’ restaurant.
Further down the road, bustling Port Denarau is a great spot for drinks with its lively line-up of diverse eateries for Italian, Mexican, Indian, Fijian and international cuisine. Order a cocktail, listen to live music and soak up the views over the marina at popular spots like Sails Restaurant, Lulu’s Bar and Café, Cantina, and Cardo’s Steakhouse.
