Vuda Point
All Prices On This Page Are FJ$, Unless Otherwise Stated.
Halfway between Nadi and Lautoka, you will find the area known as Vuda Point. This is the site of Fiji's first chiefly village, Viseisei, as well as the Vuda Point Marina and a number of resorts.
Off the main Queens road, it’s well worth a detour down here to take a look at the village, and perhaps call into the marina for a bite to eat (The Boathouse is highly recommended for lunch).
The accommodation in this area ranges from extremely good, to a place so disgusting that it should be condemned. So come and explore Vuda Point with me, as I show you some of the things to do, as well as where to stay and where NOT to stay

Anchorage
Recommended? Definitely not.
Would you stay somewhere that has toilets half full of human excrement? And I do mean that literally.
Especially when these are attached to the restaurant block and the smell drifts through the eating area, mingling with the smell of staff smoking cigarettes?
of course not, and neither would I.
