Waking up at Hot Stones puts you a shell’s throw away from the action - south east Viti Levu is the adventure capital of Fiji. There’s a wonderful beach that stretches for miles just a 10 minute stroll from Hot Stones with access through the Pearl Resort.

Scuba dive amongst sharks and hand feed them yourself; conquer the surf at Frigates, tag a marlin, reel in a walu dinner and explore the Beqa Lagoon marine sanctuary.

Back on land, golf 'The Greens' at the 18 hole Junior Robert Trent Jones course, or delve into the lush interior of Viti Levu - a thriving rainforest complete with waterfalls.

Brave the white water rapids, rock-climbing, or for a more peaceful afternoon, travel by punt up Navua River.

Spend the morning at Suva Museum hearing of Fiji's infamous warriors, and the evening in a nearby village feasting on a traditional lovo dinner.

Hear laughter as women arrange their produce at bustling Navua market, take time to sample juicy tropical fruits, haggle over fresh seafood and travel up the river by longboat. Dance the meke, beat a lali and swipe some kava. Visit the Arts Village and get to know more about our Fijian culture and dance. Or scour Suva for bargains, engaging a 'barrow boy' to assist you with your wares - woven baskets, bright fabrics and wooden artifacts.

At Hot Stones you can explore authentic island living, past the frangipani leis and into the villages.
