Denarau is a small island resort area joined by a bridge to the main island of Fiji, near the town of Nadi. Its beaches look west over the Mamanuca islands across a calm, warm lagoon.

Facing west, Denarau is a place of sunsets. Each evening the sun goes down behind the scattered islands on the horizon, and the sky over the lagoon turns orange, pink and purple. Fiji lies close to the date line, so it is one of the first countries to see each new day.

A sunset over Fiji is a gift from the South Pacific — warm water, palm trees and one of the first sunsets of the world’s day.

The best season

The dry season from May to October brings clear skies and calm seas. The wet season from November to April is hotter, with tropical rain and dramatic clouds.

Where to watch

The beaches of Denarau face west over the lagoon toward the Mamanuca islands. The marina breakwater gives an open view of the horizon.
