Nadi Airport is the main tourist hub in Fiji and where all international flights arrive and depart. There are several hotels opposite the airport which make a convenient base for stopovers or for day rooms.
Nadi itself has little to offer the tourist but it does make an excellent base for exploring the surrounding countryside and offshore islands on day tours. Most of Nadi is set inland but the beach resorts around Nadi Bay make a good place to spend the night. However, don' expect a beautiful white sandy beach, swimming or snorkelling - only pleasant views of the offshore islands and along the coastline. For those heading to the outer islands, or on early morning or late evening flights, it's likely you'll need to spend a night here.
Nadi Airport & Martintar
For convenience, Nadi Airport hotels offer excellent value for money. Half way between the airport and town is Martintar, a busy residential suburb with lots of good restaurants and several lively bars.

Nadi Town
Nadi Town itself has lots of nice boutique shops selling Bula shirts and handicrafts, several good restaurants and a bustling local produce market. It's a functional town although here the tourism touts are on the streets trying to befriend you and sell their tours. There is a fine Indian temple at the end of town that is worth browsing around for a little peace and quiet. Getting around by taxi is easy and cheap.
Denarau Island
Nadi's most exclusive resort lifestyle residences is at the superficial Denarau Island which boasts several large international hotel groups alongside the ocean including the Sofitel, Hilton and Sheraton brands. The beach on Denarau stretches for a couple of miles and makes for good walking - however, the sand is greyish from the nearby mangrove swamps and the sea is usually too murky for snorkelling. Denarau has several excellent independent restaurants at the modern and rather artificial Port Denarau Shopping centre, a pleasant but flat championship golf course and all weather tennis courts. Most of the day cruises to the offshore islands as well as island resort transfers leave from the marina at Port Denarau.
The Denarau Golf Course is a cart only course and costs around F$120 per round. The course is long and flat with lots of bunkers and water hazards making it challenging but unfortunately it is layout is rather monotonous and there are few nice scenic holes. Overlooking the golf course is the Golf Terraces which offer 1 to 3 bed apartments ideal for golf lovers and families, and it's a minute stroll from here to Port Denarau with its shops, bars and restaurants.
