Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort
By Priya Anand
Long-Haul & Value Writer · June 2026
Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort is the Coral Coast's most complete family all-inclusive — a genuine meal plan with selected drinks, a Splash waterpark, an adults-only swim-up pool, and a ridge-top spa with the best view in the resort. No boat transfer makes it easier to reach than the island resorts. The trade-offs are size (it is big and busy in peak), a shallow reef lagoon, and the fact the all-inclusive is an add-on you need to budget for.
Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort Review — Quick Verdict
Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort is the most complete all-inclusive on Fiji’s Coral Coast, and the easiest of Fiji’s genuine all-inclusive options to actually reach — a roughly 90-minute road drive from Nadi, with no catamaran involved. Set beachfront on Viti Levu’s southern coast at Korotogo, it combines a Splash zone waterpark and award-winning kids club for families with an adults-only swim-up pool and a ridge-top spa for couples. Crucially, Outrigger offers a genuine all-inclusive meal plan — breakfast, lunch, dinner, and selected drinks across the venues — rather than the bare half-board most Fiji resorts market as “all-inclusive.”
Score: 8.6 / 10 — The Coral Coast’s best family all-inclusive. Loses points for its size and a shallow reef lagoon, but the breadth of what is on offer is hard to match in Fiji.

Rooms, Suites, and Bures
Outrigger’s 207 units span hotel-style rooms in two accommodation wings, suites, and freestanding bures laid out to resemble a traditional Fijian village climbing the hillside. The variety means it works for couples in a beachfront bure and big families in a connecting room block alike.
Resort View Rooms (from ~$320/night room-only)
The entry-level rooms sit on the ground floor of the Korotogo and Malevu wings, with private balconies and garden views. They sleep up to two adults and two children, which makes them a practical, affordable base for families who plan to spend the day in the pools and at the kids club rather than in the room.
Ocean View Rooms (from ~$420/night room-only)
A clear step up: private balconies with genuine ocean views, and — the detail that matters — Talai Butler service included. The Talai butlers handle welcome drinks, cold towels, and afternoon champagne and canapés delivered to your room. For couples, the Ocean View rooms are the sweet spot, combining the view with that bit of extra service for not a huge premium.
Bures (from ~$520/night room-only)
The freestanding bures are the most characterful accommodation. Options include garden plantation bures arranged like a Fijian village, beachfront bures, and bures with a private pool. The Ocean View Bure runs around 550 sq ft with a spacious terrace for sunset views and direct beach access — the pick for honeymooners who want a freestanding hideaway with the resort facilities on tap.
Our Pick
For families, the Resort View Room is the value play — you are at the kids club and waterpark anyway. For couples, the Ocean View Room earns its premium through the Talai butler service and the balcony view. For a special trip, the Ocean View Bure.
Food and Dining at Outrigger Fiji
Outrigger offers flexible meal plans up to a genuine all-inclusive tier that covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner across the dining venues plus a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks at the restaurants and bars. As always in Fiji, confirm you have booked the full all-inclusive plan — the lower tiers are breakfast-only or half-board.
Vale Ni Kana — Buffet and Fijian Feasts
The main dining venue is Vale Ni Kana, an authentic bure serving buffet breakfasts and themed dinners with live entertainment, including traditional Fijian feast nights. This is where the lovo (earth-oven) banquets and meke performances happen, and it is the cultural heart of the resort’s dining.
Sundowner Bar & Grill
Sundowner overlooks the Pacific and is the resort’s serious dining option, focused on premium Australian beef — Cape Grim, Wagyu, Black Angus, with a dry-aged selection. The ocean-edge setting makes it the romantic choice for couples. Some premium cuts may sit outside the standard AI inclusions, so check.
Baravi — Pan-Asian by the Pool
Baravi takes you on an Oriental journey through India, Thailand, Singapore, and China, served poolside. It is a reliable, flavorful change of pace from buffet and grill, and a good family option.
Takia on the Go
The lobby café, Takia on the Go, handles takeaway sandwiches, pastries, and proper coffee — useful for a quick breakfast before a day trip or a mid-afternoon caffeine fix.
Food Quality Verdict
With five restaurants, a café, and five bars, Outrigger gives you genuine variety for a resort of this size. Sundowner’s grill is a standout, the Fijian feast nights at Vale Ni Kana are memorable, and the all-inclusive plan with selected drinks means you can graze across the venues without thinking about the bill. It is strong, broad resort dining rather than destination fine dining — exactly right for a family Coral Coast holiday.
Beach and Pools
The Beach and Lagoon
Outrigger sits on a reef-protected lagoon, which has pros and cons. The reef makes the water calm and safe — great for nervous swimmers and good snorkeling at the right tide — but at low tide the lagoon gets shallow and the swimming is better in the pools. This is true of much of the Coral Coast, not unique to Outrigger; manage expectations and plan beach swims around high tide.
Pools
The pools are the real draw for families. The lagoon-style main pool includes a Splash zone waterpark that keeps kids occupied for hours. Separately, there is an adults-only pool with a swim-up bar and restaurant — a genuinely useful piece of design that lets couples escape the family buzz without leaving the resort. Having both, distinctly, is what makes Outrigger work for mixed groups.
Activities and Entertainment
Daytime
The resort packs in tennis courts, a golf training facility, a fitness center, an adventure park, water activities, and a daily cultural program — basket weaving, coconut demonstrations, Fijian language lessons. There is a wedding chapel on site, which tells you how much honeymoon and wedding business the resort does. Non-motorized water sports are available, with diving and motorized activities at extra cost.
Evening
Evenings center on the Fijian feast and meke nights at Vale Ni Kana, live island music, kava ceremonies, and family-friendly entertainment. Sundowner and the swim-up bar handle the quieter, couples-oriented end of the evening. It is a relaxed resort, not a party one.
Lomani Kids Club and Meimei Nannies
The award-winning Lomani Kids Club runs cultural activities, games, and island adventures designed for younger travelers, and the dedicated Meimei nanny service is a genuine differentiator — Meimei nannies can be booked to look after children one-on-one, which is a level of childcare flexibility most Fiji resorts do not offer. For parents wanting a real break or a child-free dinner at Sundowner, the combination is excellent.
Spa and Wellness
The Bebe Spa Sanctuary is one of Outrigger’s signatures. Rather than tucking the spa into a back corner, it sits on a mountain ridge above the resort with sweeping views over the South Pacific. Treatments draw on nature and local ingredients, and the climb up to the ridge is part of the experience — you arrive somewhere that genuinely feels removed from the resort below. Treatments are charged separately from the all-inclusive plan.

Price Ranges by Season
| Season | Months | Resort View (room) | Ocean View (room) | AI Plan (per adult/day) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Peak | Jun–Sep, Dec–Jan | $380–460 | $480–580 | ~$170–210 |

Approximate USD; the resort prices in FJD and rates move with exchange and demand. The all-inclusive meal plan is added per person per day on top of the room rate.
Best Time to Book
Fiji’s dry season (June–September) and the Christmas holidays are peak — book 4–6 months out. The green season (roughly November–April) is hotter and more humid with short tropical downpours, but rates are lower and the resort is quieter.
Where to Book
- Outrigger.com direct — best for confirming the all-inclusive meal plan and butler-eligible rooms
- Booking.com — competitive room-only rates and flexible cancellation
- Fiji specialist agents — often bundle transfers and the AI plan
Compared to Nearby Resorts
Warwick Fiji is Outrigger’s main Coral Coast rival, further along the coast at Korolevu. Warwick’s all-inclusive is also genuine free-flow, and it has the romantic over-water Wicked Walu seafood restaurant that Outrigger cannot match. Outrigger wins on the waterpark, the kids club with nanny service, and the ridge-top spa; Warwick edges ahead on adults-oriented dining and value.
Castaway Island is Outrigger’s island sibling in the Mamanucas — a smaller, more private whole-island resort with a superb house reef, reachable only by catamaran. Choose Castaway for the genuine island experience; choose Outrigger for the easier arrival, bigger resort, and waterpark.
Fiji Hideaway / Plantation Island sit at the more budget-friendly, meal-plan end of the spectrum. Outrigger is a clear step up in polish, dining breadth, and the genuineness of its all-inclusive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort all-inclusive?
It can be. Outrigger offers flexible meal plans up to a genuine all-inclusive tier covering breakfast, lunch, dinner, and selected drinks across the venues. It is an upgrade you add to the room rate rather than the default, so confirm you have booked the full all-inclusive plan when you reserve.
How far is Outrigger Fiji from Nadi Airport?
About 77 km, or roughly a 90-minute drive along the Coral Coast — no boat required, which makes it considerably easier to reach than Fiji’s island resorts. Resort and private transfers can be arranged.
Is the swimming good?
The pools are excellent — a Splash waterpark and an adults-only swim-up pool. The beach sits on a reef-protected lagoon that is calm and good for snorkeling, but shallow at low tide, so plan ocean swims around high tide. This is typical of the Coral Coast generally.
Is it good for couples as well as families?
Yes. The adults-only pool with swim-up bar, the Sundowner grill, the ridge-top Bebe Spa, and the wedding chapel all show how much the resort caters to couples and honeymooners, even as the waterpark and kids club handle families. The size lets it do both.
What is the Meimei nanny service?
Meimei is Outrigger’s dedicated one-on-one nanny service — you can book a nanny to care for your children individually, separate from the group Lomani Kids Club. It is a level of childcare flexibility that is rare in Fiji and a genuine draw for parents of very young children.
Final Verdict
8.6 / 10 — Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort is the most complete all-inclusive on the Coral Coast and the easiest of Fiji’s genuine all-inclusive resorts to reach.
The breadth is the story: a Splash waterpark and lagoon pool for the kids, an adults-only swim-up pool for the parents, a ridge-top spa with the best view in the resort, an award-winning kids club backed by one-on-one Meimei nannies, and five restaurants topped by the Sundowner grill. The all-inclusive meal plan with selected drinks is genuine, and arriving by road rather than boat removes the half-day transfer the island resorts demand.
The honest trade-offs: it is large and busy in peak season, the reef lagoon is shallow at low tide so the pools do the heavy lifting for swimming, and the all-inclusive is an add-on you need to budget separately. Premium spirits and some premium cuts sit outside the standard tier.
Who should book: Families who want a waterpark, a great kids club, and flexible childcare. Couples and honeymooners who want adults-only spaces and a destination spa without sacrificing resort facilities. Anyone who wants genuine Fiji all-inclusive without a boat transfer.
Who should skip: Travelers chasing a small, private island feel (book Castaway Island instead) and anyone wanting deep, swimmable water straight off the beach at all tides.
