Guide to Denarau
This major tourism complex is approximately 20 minutes from the Nadi International Airport and includes a variety of 5 star hotels and resorts, an 18-hole championship golf course, a golf and racquet club and a 30-berth marina.
The resorts boast both ocean and river frontage and mini buses run frequent transfers between the resorts and Port Denarau, while golf carts whiz guests around and between the resorts. Apart from offering a sophisticated hotel and residential experience, Port Denarau- with its shops and growing marina- has become a major transit hub for Fijian tourism. With many of the smaller islands in the archipelago only accessible by boat, it is now the main transfer point for the resorts off the coast of Nadi in the Mamanuca and Yasawa groups.
Port Denarau is the principal departure point for vessels. Departing from the port are traditional tall ships offering adventure cruises, accommodated cruises to the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands boasting the ultimate in comfort and culture, island day trips and brigantines offering day and dinner cruises as well as jet boats.
Sport is big on Denarau with the Denarau Golf and Racquet Club offering a spectacular 18-hole championship golf course. The course has been designed around the island's extensive waterways. An impressive clubhouse comprising a pro shop and restaurant overlooks the 9th, 10th and 18th holes. A driving range and an adjacent complex with 10 tennis courts extent the club's facilities.
There is now a yacht club and development is continuing on Denarau with other major up-market hotels under construction. There is also a commercial and retail centre, food and beverage outlets and cultural attractions, making Denarau one of the leading integrated tourism destinations in the South Pacific.
