Lomaiviti Group

Lomaiviti travel map in Fiji

The Lomaiviti Province is one of 14 provinces of Fiji that covers 411 sqkm, it consists of seven main islands and a few smaller ones. These islands are a great place to relax and enjoy the laid-back island life. This group of islands are at the heart of Fiji’s colonial past.

Most visitors head to Ovalau island for its volcanic peaks, sparkling blue waters and history which you can discover at the Unesco World Heritage Site at Levuka.

The inner islands offer more facilities and attractions for tourists including diving, whale watching, fishing and snorkelling. On Levuka there is a taxi service and shuttle service that travels between Bureta and Levuka.

To reach the islands you’ll need to arrange a charter boat or small plane.

NIGHTLIFE - LOMAIVITI GROUP


Since the Lomaiviti Group is pretty remote there aren't any notable night clubs to be found. Luckily, every individual resort tends to have one or more bars, depending on the size of the resort. They usually close around 10-11pm.
 
Night clubs are mainly within the Nadi, Pacific Harbour area and many more in Suva. They are open till early hours in the morning and usually crowded. Be aware that it is recommended that you do not wander the street alone after dark and keep to well lit areas.
