Fiji Nightlife

While most head to Fiji for a low-key getaway, when the sun slips beneath the horizon, Fiji wakes up to a whole new world. Cocktails and pool parties abound, many visitors make the most of their resort facilities and onsite bars. On Viti Levu, Fiji's largest island, the most popular clubs are found in and around Nadi and Suva.

Take note that despite the laidback culture and day wear, patrons are expected to dress according to a code when heading out at night (these means leaving the shorts and thongs back at the villa). During the week, most establishments will close around midnight; on weekends they are usually open later.

Fiji Nightlife Hotspots

With most of Fiji's nightlife centred in and around the cities of Nadi and Suva on the main island, resorts outside these areas tend to boast on-site bars and a range of nighttime entertainment options. This way, holidaymakers who are staying further from these more urban areas still have the opportunity to enjoy a lovely evening out without having to venture too far from their accommodation.

Our range of Fiji holiday packages ensure there are plenty of activities to keep you and your loved ones busy regardless of the time of day.

Fiji Nightclubs

From laid-back cafes that transform into bustling nightclubs as the sun sets to upscale venues on their own tropical island, the nightclubs in Fiji offer patrons a range of experiences. Whether you prefer a relaxed atmosphere or a high-energy dancefloor, Fiji's nightlife scene caters to every mood and preference.

Our favourite Fiji clubs are:

Ed's Bar - Nadi

Previously exclusively a nighttime venue, Ed's Bar now serves an all-day menu, dinner and drinks. A fixture of Nadi nightlife, Ed's Bar transforms from a laid-back cafe during the day to a bustling nighttime venue as the sun sets.

At TravelOnline, we recommend:

Night Markets: A trip for the whole family, at Fiji's local markets you'll be able to sample local delicacies, shop for handmade crafts and enjoy live entertainment.

From casual beachfront restaurants to luxury five-star fine dining and everything in between, Fiji offers its visitors a bounty of choices.

Tips For a Night Out in Fiji

With a range of venues and experiences to keep you busy during the evenings, Fiji nightlife is truly like no other. However, regardless of your plans, you should note the following tips to help you make the most of your night out.

Dress Appropriately: Note that despite the laidback culture and casual day wear, patrons are expected to dress according to a code when heading out at night (leave the shorts and thongs back at the villa).

Don't Rush: Happy hour in most resorts, bars, pubs and clubs in Fiji lasts almost the whole evening, so there's no need to rush from venue to venue to ensure you get a great deal.

Know Your Transport Options: Getting around Fiji is easy, particularly in the more urban areas where taxis are prevalent. If you're flagging a taxi from the street, make sure you take note of its numberplates. Some start with LT, which means they are metered. Those starting with LH have fixed distance rates, so it's best to establish a fare at the beginning of the trip. Make sure you have enough Fiji dollars before you start your trip.

Nearby Accommodation

While the nightclubs in Bali and Phuket are spread throughout the island, the clubs, bars, and pubs in Fiji are concentrated in the capital cities. So, if you're headed to Fiji and want to experience some of the nightlife, staying in or close to these capital cities is the most convenient option. Our favourite accommodation around these capital cities include Radisson Blu Resort Fiji Denarau Island, just 20 minutes from Nadi, Ramada Suites By Wyndham Wailoaloa Beach Fiji at Nadi Bay and Nanuku Resort Fiji south of Suva.
