2025 Readers' Choice Awards: Best family accommodation

Winner: OUTRIGGER Fiji Beach Resort

Why you love it…

It makes sense our favourite family accommodation is in Fiji – a top destination we flock to with our nearest and dearest. OUTRIGGER Fiji Beach Resort sits on the Coral Coast, the southern edge of the main island, which boasts white-sand beaches fringed by coral reef and lush tropical gardens. The resort has newly renovated guest accommodation, including charming traditional bures, and plenty of fun activities such as snorkelling, water polo in the pool and paintball. There are also cultural activities, including firewalking, weaving and a kava ceremony, and a kids’ club and nanny service, which Fiji is known (and beloved) for.

Hot tip…

OUTRIGGER Zone is a conservation initiative that helps protect the ocean and reefs. Get involved with the resort’s coral planting program, which has already planted more than 100 football fields worth of coral.
