VACCINATIONS
Yellow Fever and Cholera vaccinations are required if coming from an infected area as designated by the World Health Organisation (see www.yellowfever.com.au). Having an up to date tetanus vaccination can be wise.
VANUA LEVU
Vanua Levu is Fiji’s second largest island to the north of the main island of Viti Levu.
VANUATU
If you were flying from Cairns to Fiji then your halfway point would be Vanuatu. It's another tropical paradise definitely worth visiting and you can find out all about it at our sister site Vanuatu A-Z.
VAT (VALUE ADDED TAX)
Fiji has a Value Added Tax that is applied uniformly at 12.5%.
VATULELE ISLAND RESORT
Vatulele Island sits south of the Coral Coast. The local people live in traditional village fashion - fishing, farming and making tapa cloth. The island’s resort has 16 spacious, architecturally unique villas offering upmarket accommodation in a relaxed atmosphere. Each bure is private its own stretch of sand. The villas have large open bedrooms with king-size bed and dressing area, sunken sitting rooms, floor to ceiling louvered doors that open onto a private terrace. There’s tennis, swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, village tours, windsurfing, sailboats, sport fishing and the (not inexpensive) tariff includes all meals and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages (including French champagne!).
VILLAGES
Many tourists don’t venture outside their resorts to see how locals live in their villages but, if you get the opportunity, take it. Rather than take up a lot of space here, click here for more info on village life and how not to be a ‘village idiot’.
VINAKA
In the same way ‘bula’ can mean ‘hello’ as well as ‘welcome’, ‘vinaka’ can be, ‘please’, ‘thank you’ and ‘good’.
VISAS
Visas are not required for travellers from most countries and entry visas are given for 4 months on arrival. A return airline ticket or a ticket for onward travel is required for visitors and passports should have at least three months validity beyond the period of intended stay. (see Work Permits)
VITI LEVU
Viti Levu is the main island in Fiji. It is the largest with the capital, Suva, in the east and the gateway for most tourists, Nadi, in the west. The other main towns are Sigatoka and Lautoka. Between Nadi and Suva, on the southern shores is the Coral Coast, home to a number of resorts. While palm trees, beaches and coral reefs fringe the island, inland the terrain is quite mountainous.
VOMO ISLAND RESORT
Vomo is an upmarket luxury property located 15 minutes by air from the Nadi International airport with international class accommodation with fine dining. Yes, it was a bit rundown and overrated for a few years but, with a refurbishment and new owners, it’s back to what it was. Vomo caters for honeymoons, leisure travellers and for families.
