Find Your Zen With Fiji’s Top Wellness Experiences

With blissful seclusion, pristine islands and a warm culture to match, Fiji is a paradise for relaxation, rejuvenation and wellness. From soothing mud pools soaks to traditional massages and organic health tonics, there are lots of ways you can indulge in self-care while on holiday in Fiji.

Mud & Thermal Pool Soaks

Fiji Mudpool

Nature's Healing Touch

Thermal mud pool soaks are one of the most unique (and cheapest) wellness experiences you can have in Fiji. Locals have been heading to the mud pools in Sabeto (Nadi) and Savusavu for eons and swear by their therapeutic benefits. For the best experience, time your trip for the early morning or late afternoon when it isn’t too hot and plan to spend a few hours lathered in mud and soaking in a series of hot pools afterwards. The mineral-rich mud is said to ease aches and pains, release muscle tension and even induce sleep. It’s the perfect wind-down for an action-packed vacation and your skin will love you for it!
 

Traditional Fijian ‘Bobo’ Massage

Relax and Rejuvenate

If you’re looking to pamper yourself with some spa therapy in Fiji, the traditional deep-tissue ‘Bobo’ (massage) is one treatment you simply can’t miss. ‘Bobo’ is a traditional massage technique that is used to relax or heal specific aches and pains. Using exotic oils to knead the most stubborn knots, they apply a series of long, firm strokes with their fingertips, forearms, and elbows to stimulate circulation, release tension, and relax your muscles. Combine this hour-long massage with a nourishing facial for the ultimate indulgence.

Rejuvenate Your Body and Mind

Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or simply escaping to Fiji to reset and rejuvenate, you’ll find heaps of yoga and wellness options to help you holiday better. Some resorts like Kokomo Island Fiji or Matanivusi Resort Fiji have a yoga instructor on staff to provide complimentary daily yoga classes that improve flexibility, strength, and balance. Others like Daku Resort host regular yoga retreats that take in the sublime views over Savusavu Bay.

Meditation, nutrition, and fitness programs are popular wellness activities you can opt for in Fiji. The detox, wellness and weight-loss programs at Naveria Heights Lodge combine healthy meal plans with relaxing spa wraps and outdoor adventures. Vomo Island Fiji’s Vomofit program is a complimentary daily workout program to balance your holiday indulgences while the wellness experts at Six Senses Fiji can use smart tech to assess your health and even your sleep patterns.

Natural Remedies And Health Tonics

Natural Remedies And Health Tonics

Fiji's Traditional Wellness Secrets

When they’re feeling a little under the weather, Fijians turn to nature for boost. From leaves that heal cuts and sprains to natural tonics that settle your stomach, these tried-and-true natural remedies are passed down through the generations.

Most spas in Fiji use locally made skincare in their treatments. Natural oils like coconut and dilo feature heavily in traditional Fijian skincare, often scented with delicious-smelling botanicals like ylangylang, frangipani or made into skin-healing creams and soaps with charcoal, turmeric or nama (a type of seaweed).


Fiji has amazing fresh fruit and veg so make sure to tuck into heart-healthy papaya and pineapples at the breakfast buffet or soursop/mint or lemonade/ginger juices if you find them on the drinks list. A refreshing coconut juice will help restore hydration while the miti (coconut cream) is a healthy fat and dairy alternative used in Fijian cuisine. And if you’re feeling a little brave, pick up some bitter-tasting traditional health-tonics like noni juice or layalya (a type of ginger root) at a local supermarket to take home with you too.

Outdoor Adventures in Fiji

There’s probably no better way to get your heart pumping and endorphins flowing than to head outdoors to top up your Vitamin D and take in some incredible views.

Apart from excellent national park hikes like the Sigatoka Sand Dunes, many Fijian resorts have a nearby trail that you can tackle with a local guide. Vomo Island Fiji in the Mamanuca islands takes their hiking trail to a new level with the Mt Vomo Challenge; a summit topping charity run to the island’s highest point. And for true adventure and ‘big views’, a multi-day hike across Viti Levu with Talanoa Treks is the perfect stressbuster.

On the water, there are lots of fun watersports that’ll give you a decent workout. Surf incredible world-class waves like Cloudbreak and Frigates, SUP or kitesurf across the lagoon or paddle to remote beaches on a kayaking safari in Kadavu. If you’re looking to play, you’ll find heaps of fun outdoor activities to help you break a sweat.
