Fiji (Nadi)

Grabaseat has cheap flights to Fiji from Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, putting island time just over three hours away. The second you're on board; the stress stays behind and the sunshine takes over. 

Nadi is where your trip begins. Wander the local markets, visit the bright and beautiful Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple, or grab a curry that might just become your new gold standard. Nearby Denarau is where you'll find resort living, day trips to the islands and cocktails with a side of sea breeze. 

Fiji is more than just one island. It's 333 of them, with only a third inhabited — and yet, the locals are the best part. Fijians are warm, welcoming and always ready to share a story or a laugh. If you get the chance, join an island night and settle in for fresh seafood, a traditional Lovo feast and a sip of Fiji Bitters or kava if you're feeling brave. 

Whether you're diving into turquoise water or diving into another nap, Fiji delivers the kind of break that actually feels like one. Just don't get so relaxed you miss your flight home.
