First Landing Resort

Nadi, Suva & Viti Levu


Vuda Point's most upmarket option, this resort is perched on white(ish) sands among well-manicured gardens.The bures and villas are bright and welcoming, with mosquito-screened verandahs; more expensive villas have private pools and kitchens. Like others in the area, the beach isn't great, but there’s an artificial, footprint-shaped island and lagoon pool for sunbathers. The beachfront restaurant (mains $15 to $50) serves seafood, pasta, curries and wood-fired pizza.

Other services include a kids club, daytrips and transfers to nearby islands, and free use of kayaks and snorkelling gear.
