Nadi, Fiji: Complete Travel Guide to Fiji's Gateway City

Getting there: Nadi International Airport (NAN) receives the vast majority of Fiji's international flights, from Australia, New Zealand, the US, and other Pacific hubs. What it's known for: the Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple (the largest Hindu temple in the Southern Hemisphere), the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, Sabeto mud pools and hot springs, and easy access to Denarau Island's marina for day cruises to the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands. Who it suits: nearly everyone, at least briefly — Nadi is the practical base for arrival/departure and half-day tours, even for travelers staying primarily elsewhere in Fiji. Getting around: most resorts and attractions are a short taxi or transfer ride from the airport; private and shared airport transfers are the most common way to reach onward accommodation.
