Mark Dye and Matilda Rice give their guide to making the most of a Fiji holiday.
DO
Matilda: Make sure you get off the mainland for a bit, and out to the islands. Fiji has so many incredible islands to choose from, and they are truly beautiful. Malamala is one of my favourites for a day trip. You can't stay the night, so you catch a ferry out there and can spend the day lounging by the pool (cocktail in hand, obviously), jumping off the jetty, or ordering some of their amazing food. malamalabeachclub.com
Mark: Make sure you head out to Cloud 9, a floating bar in the middle of the ocean. It's on Ro Ro Reef, and is just a 45-minute boat ride from Port Denarau — even closer from some of the resorts like Musket Cove. It's basically a huge pontoon with a fully stocked bar that serves the most amazing cocktails and pizzas. Think sunshine, deck chairs and turquoise water all around. And the water is crystal-clear too. It really is the stuff of dreams and movies.
