Fiji, known for its pristine islands and warm hospitality, offers a serene and culturally rich setting for water bungalows. The first overwater bungalows in Fiji were introduced in the late 1990s, inspired by the popularity of similar accommodations in French Polynesia. Since then, a handful of exclusive resorts have embraced this concept, blending traditional Fijian design with modern luxury.

Fiji has a relatively small number of water bungalows—around 50 to 100 in total—spread across a few upscale resorts like Likuliku Lagoon Resort (the first in Fiji to offer true overwater bures), Koro Sun Resort, and Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay. These bungalows offer a more secluded and culturally immersive experience compared to other popular destinations.

While not as globally famous as those in the Maldives or Bora Bora, Fiji’s water bungalows are beloved by travellers seeking tranquility, authenticity, and romance in a less crowded environment. They’re especially popular among honeymooners and couples from Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S., looking for a unique South Pacific escape.
