Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort and The Warwick Fiji sits along Viti Levu’s scenic Coral Coast.
The renovated Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort replicates a traditional Fijian coastal village, sprawling across 40 acres of landscaped hillsides and beachfront. Its main draw is the Talai Butler Service for premium rooms and bures offering complimentary afternoon champagne and canapés delivered right to your door. Couples would love this while their kids are at the onsite childcare.
Location: Coral Coast, Viti Levu (75–90 min drive from Nadi Airport)
Best For: Families wanting top-tier childcare, couples seeking authentic bures
Price Range: $320 – $700+ USD / night depending on room tier
Is Outrigger too expensive? Crow’s Nest Resort and Bedarrah Beach Inn may fit your budget.

How to Get to Outrigger Resort
Take a taxi, private transfer or a rental car. Though it seems like a long ride it’s actually a scenic road trip. You’ll pass beaches on one side and mountains on the other and you’ll pass villages and see a glimpse of the way of life of the Fijian people. There are stops along the way for snacks and toilet relief. It’s a good idea to get a Saily e-sim before travelling to Fiji.

Outrigger vs. The Warwick Fiji
While The Warwick sits further down the coast with a slightly better enclosed lagoon for kayaking and snorkeling, Outrigger outperforms it in food quality, spa services (Bebe Spa), and personalized cultural hospitality via its butler program.
Outrigger vs. InterContinental Fiji
If your priority is a wide, white-sand swimming beach without reef exposure, the InterContinental at Natadola Bay wins. However, Outrigger delivers a more authentic village aesthetic at a lower price point per night.
Dining & On-Site Activities
+ Ivi Restaurant: Outrigger’s fine-dining outlet (adults-only for dinner).
+ Sundowner Bar & Grill: Great wood-fired pizzas and cocktails directly overlooking the ocean reef.
+ Cultural Programs: Daily firewalking demonstrations, kava tasting ceremonies, and coral planting initiatives hosted by the staff.
Rooms at Outrigger Resort
Outrigger offers a blend of contemporary hotel wing rooms and traditional thatched-roof bures.
+ For Couples & Honeymooners: Book a Plantation Pool Bure or Oceanfront Bure. These stand-alone bungalows feature high tapa-cloth ceilings, private patios (or private plunge pools), and direct Talai Butler Service.
+ For Families on a Budget: Choose the Resort View Courtyard or Ocean View Family Rooms. These place you closer to the central pool complex and kids’ facilities.
Pro-Tip: If you book an Ocean View room or any Bure category, you unlock the Talai Butler Service at no extra charge. Do not pay extra for butler service separately it is tied directly to these room categories.
Should You Book Outrigger Resort?
Book Outrigger if you want authentic Fijian architecture, personalized butler service, exceptional nanny care for young kids, and a world-class hilltop spa.
Skip the Outrigger if you want a calm white-sand beach right outside your room without coral reefs. For white sand swimming, opt for InterContinental Natadola Bay or hop out to the Mamanuca Islands.
