Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort

The Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort sits at the heart of an integrated 5-star complex that operates across three sister properties: the Sheraton itself, The Westin Denarau Island Resort & Spa, and Sheraton Denarau Villas. What this means practically is that guests staying at the Sheraton have access to 14 restaurants, 6 swimming pools, a championship golf course, 10 tennis courts, and the 1,350 square-metre Heavenly Spa by Westin — a combined amenity offering that no single Denarau property can match independently.

The Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort is a 5-star beachfront property on Denarau Island, Fiji, operating as part of a three-property Marriott Bonvoy complex. Following a major $50 million refurbishment completed in 2022, the resort offers renovated rooms with Sheraton Sweet Sleeper beds, walk-in showers, and private balconies or patios, alongside a championship golf course, spa, and four on-property restaurants.

The golf course is a genuine drawcard — an 18-hole championship layout designed by Japanese architect Eiichi Motohashi with water hazards on 15 of its 18 holes and bunkers shaped around Pacific marine themes. For non-golfers, the resort makes its case through the nightly torch-lighting and kava ceremony, the beachfront Tatavu Grill, and access to the Westin’s Heavenly Spa complex across the shared resort grounds.

Rates start from around AU$254 per night at the Sheraton, with the Sheraton Denarau Villas from AU$471. The integrated resort positioning means the per-night rate buys access to facilities well beyond what’s visible from the Sheraton’s own grounds.

Accomodation

Garden View Room

Garden View rooms are positioned on the ground or first floor, giving easy access to the resort’s facilities and the beach without elevator dependence. The interiors were renovated as part of the 2022 refurbishment — wooden furniture with tropical print fabrics and local artwork, with large windows and sliding doors opening onto private balconies or patios. Natural light is a genuine feature here, not just a marketing description.

Room configuration accommodates up to four guests with a choice of bedding options. Modern amenities include air conditioning, flat-screen TV, WiFi, and Sheraton Sweet Sleeper beds. Bathrooms feature walk-in rainforest showers and double vanities.

Ocean View Room

On the first or second floor, Ocean View rooms look out over Nadi Bay and the Pacific from private balconies. The post-renovation design uses blue hues, wooden furniture, and local artwork by Maria Rova — a Fijian artist whose work appears throughout the room categories and gives the interiors a genuine sense of place rather than a generic tropical aesthetic.

Each room accommodates up to four guests with the same base amenities as the garden view category, plus walk-in rainforest showers, bathrobes, and slippers. Guests in Ocean View rooms receive exclusive access to the Sheraton Club Lounge, which provides complimentary breakfast, snacks, and a comfortable working and socialising space from early morning through late evening.

Ocean Front Room

Ground floor positioning gives Ocean Front rooms direct access to the beach and ocean from their private patios. These were among the most substantially updated rooms in the 2022 renovation — spacious and airy, with the same wooden furniture and blue hue palette as the Ocean View category, but with the added immediacy of stepping from your room onto the sand.

The bathrooms here are a highlight: walk-in rainforest showers with glass walls for natural light, double vanities, and premium toiletries. Rooms also include access to the Sheraton Club Lounge and proximity to the resort’s infinity pool. Panoramic views of Nadi Bay and the Pacific coast are unobstructed.

Presidential Suite

The Presidential Suite on the second floor is a one-bedroom suite with a separate large living and dining room. The balcony looks out across Nadi Bay and the Pacific with unobstructed panoramic views — the suite’s clearest selling point and the reason guests book it for special occasions rather than purely for the footprint.

Inside: a deep soaking bathtub and walk-in rainforest shower in the bathroom, wooden furniture and blue tones throughout, local artwork, and access to the Sheraton Club Lounge. The private balcony plunge pool is the suite’s most distinctive feature — a private water element with the ocean as its backdrop.

Oceanfront Studio

Ground floor or first floor Oceanfront Studios split into a living area and separate bedroom, each with direct beach and ocean access from a private balcony or patio. Decorated with the same wooden furniture, blue colour palette, and local artwork as the other renovated categories. Full modern amenities throughout: air conditioning, WiFi, flat-screen TVs.

Heavenly Spa By Westin

The Heavenly Spa by Westin is the spa and wellness facility serving the integrated resort complex. At 1,350 square metres of meditation gardens and treatment space, it’s one of the largest resort spa operations in Fiji. The facility includes eight Fijian-style treatment bures, two treatment suites, a Vichy shower room, hydrotherapy room, wet-edge lap pool, and Jacuzzi. Treatments use White Tea Aloe signature bath products alongside locally sourced Fijian ingredients.

Signature treatments include the “Passage to Fiji Paradise” — the property’s most comprehensive treatment drawing on traditional Fijian healing techniques — and the “Amour Therapy,” a 105-minute couples experience. The open-air therapy rooms allow for natural ventilation and ambient sound from the gardens throughout treatments.

The spa requires prior reservations; costs vary by treatment. The 2022 refurbishment included significant updates to the spa facilities.

Swimming Pool

The Sheraton’s lagoon-style pool is positioned on the waterfront adjacent to the Sheraton Denarau Villas’ horizon pool, overlooking Nadi Bay. The setting — lagoon curves, reflection ponds, and ocean beyond — is one of the better pool environments on Denarau Island.

The pool features a swim-up bar, dedicated sun loungers, umbrellas, and cabanas. Activities programming includes water aerobics, volleyball sessions, and periodic pool parties and live music events. Open daily from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm.

Guests also have access to five additional pools across the integrated resort complex, including two adults-only pools at the Westin — a practical benefit that means you always have a pool option regardless of how busy the main Sheraton pool becomes.

Fitness Studio

The WestinWORKOUT Fitness Studio at the nearby Westin Denarau serves the integrated resort complex. The studio covers cardio and strength equipment, yoga mats, and exercise balls at a standard appropriate for regular fitness routines. A full schedule of certified instructor-led classes runs throughout the week: yoga, pilates, Zumba, and aqua aerobics. Classes require prior reservation and carry an additional fee.

Water Activities at Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort

Kayaking: Single and double kayak rentals for exploring the bay. The shoreline route along the Denarau waterfront gives good views of the resort complex and the outer islands. A straightforward activity at most fitness levels.

Stand-Up Paddle Boarding: Board rentals available for self-paced sessions on the bay. Low-impact, with a reasonable learning curve for beginners. Works well for morning sessions when the water is calmer.

Parasailing: Operated by Kaiwai Watersports Fiji. Both solo and tandem flights available, lifted above the bay for aerial views of Denarau Island and the Mamanuca horizon. One of the cleaner ways to see the layout of the island from the air.

Banana Boat: Towed group rides for up to six people, suited for families or friend groups looking for something active and loud. Operated through Kaiwai Watersports Fiji.

Aqua Aerobics: Conducted in the lagoon-style pool by qualified instructors, with sessions structured around low-impact cardiovascular and strength work. The pool setting against the backdrop of Nadi Bay is an unusually pleasant environment for a fitness class. Available for a fee, prior reservation required.

Side By Side Kids Club

The Side By Side Kids Club welcomes children aged 4 to 12 with a daily program covering Fijian language lessons, fish feeding, face painting, cooking activities (fruit salads, cupcake decorating, and pizza-making sessions with the hotel chef), and standard arts, crafts, and games.

The indoor play area is spacious, and children have access to the resort’s lagoon pool and beach for water activities. The program is run by qualified childcare professionals with a strict sign-in and sign-out policy. Operating hours run daily in two daytime sessions (9:00 am–12:00 pm and 1:00 pm–4:30 pm) and an evening session from 6:30 pm to 10:00 pm.

Pricing: FJD$6 per hour during the daytime sessions; FJD$20 per child for evening sessions.

Meeting & Events

The Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort offers 25,000 square feet of event space across 15 flexible venues, accommodating up to 1,600 people. The Denarau Island Convention Centre — Fiji’s largest and most sophisticated convention facility — sits within the resort complex at 18,890 square feet. The space can be configured as three separate ballrooms or divided into six breakout rooms, making it practical for conferences that need both plenary and workshop formats simultaneously.

The Convention Centre’s design works well: high ceilings, natural light, and Fijian-inspired architectural details that make it feel appropriate to the location rather than interchangeable with a mainland city conference centre. The foyer, pre-function area, and terrace accommodate registration, networking, and cocktail receptions separately from the main event space.

The broader resort complex’s accommodation — 601 rooms and suites across the Sheraton and Westin properties — means delegates don’t need shuttle logistics between hotel and venue. A partnership with Fiji Airways provides special fare rates for attendees travelling internationally.

The resort employs a dedicated events team for planning through to execution, with comprehensive catering options and technical support available throughout.

Wedding

The resort’s beachfront wedding chapel — a white wooden structure perched at the tip of the peninsula — accommodates between 20 and 100 guests, with panoramic views across the Mamanuca Islands and the Pacific horizon. The setting is one of the more genuinely picturesque wedding ceremony locations in the Pacific: ocean on three sides, tropical gardens surrounding, and typically excellent light in the late afternoon.

Inside: high ceilings, large windows, a wooden altar, white chairs, and a sound system with microphone and CD player. Air conditioning and WiFi are included. The chapel can be decorated to personal preference within the venue’s guidelines.

For larger celebrations, the Golden Ballroom accommodates up to 800 guests in cocktail style or 300 in banquet configuration. State-of-the-art audiovisual technology, a dedicated event team, and a pre-function area and terrace for additional activities make it a comprehensive venue for receptions of any scale.

The resort offers full wedding coordination services including coordinator, photographer, cake, and various reception packages.

Restaurant & Bar

Tatavu Grill & Bar

Tatavu is the resort’s signature waterfront restaurant, taking its name from the traditional Fijian method of cooking over natural firewood — a technique still central to the kitchen’s approach. The menu blends Pacific coastal ingredients with Latin American and Mediterranean influences, a combination that works better in practice than it sounds on paper.

The kitchen sources fish caught fresh from local Pacific waters, vegetables from regional farmers, and premium imported and local meats, all cooked over the multi-level vertical firewood grill that’s the visual centrepiece of the restaurant.

The “Kabana Under the Stars” five-course experience is the showpiece offering: ponzu-marinated tuna with mussels and prawn, house-made gnocchi in brown butter mushroom sauce, grilled lamb rack with polenta, and a chocolate garden dessert. The “Farm to Glass” cocktail program uses herbs and spices grown at the resort’s own Sheraton Fiji Farm, made into house syrups and infusions — a detail that brings genuine local character to the bar.

The setting — open-air on the waterfront, set among the resort’s lagoon-style pool and reflection ponds — with live music and periodic firework displays makes for an evening that earns its place as a memorable dining experience rather than just a meal.

28G

28g takes its name from the standard weight of ground coffee used in professional espresso — 28 grams — signalling its coffee-first focus without ambiguity. It’s emerged as one of the better cafés on Denarau Island, it delivers to Melbourne coffee standards, which is a meaningful benchmark on Denarau.

The all-day menu covers hot and cold beverages, fresh pastries, sandwiches, salads, and snacks. Fijian specialities appear on the menu — kokoda (Fijian ceviche), taro chips, and cassava cake — giving it more local character than a standard lobby café. The seating is comfortable, natural light is generous, and the view over the resort’s lagoon pool and gardens makes it a decent place to linger after breakfast or before a late check-out.

Open daily from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm.

Island 619

Island 619 is the resort’s main buffet restaurant, positioned to overlook the lagoon swimming pool. Seven open kitchen stations cover a range of cuisines — Italian, Chinese, Latin, Mexican, Indian, and Fijian — with produce sourced fresh from the resort’s on-site Denarau Farm. The live kitchen format means you can see what’s being prepared as you move through the buffet, which raises both the transparency and the theatre of the meal.

Breakfast runs from 6:30 am to 10:30 am; dinner from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm. The bar operates from 11:00 am to 10:00 pm. It’s rated 4.9/5 on TripAdvisor and holds a Travelers’ Choice designation — an unusually strong score for a buffet restaurant.

Chime Lounge and Bar

Chime is the resort’s evening entertainment venue — a lounge with a spacious dance floor and daily live programming near the lobby. The casual dress code makes it genuinely accessible rather than a formal night out, and the happy hour from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm (50% off selected drinks) draws a mix of resort guests and visitors.

Entertainment varies nightly across live bands, DJs, karaoke, and cultural shows. The menu covers cocktails, beers, wines, and snacks. Notable dishes: the Chime Signature Burger, Fijian Ceviche with fresh fish and coconut cream, the Sheraton Mai Tai, and Fiji Gold lager — the local beer worth knowing about if you haven’t encountered it yet.

Open daily from 5:00 pm to midnight.

Other Activities

Resort Shops

The Sheraton Boutique in the lobby covers souvenirs, gifts, clothing, and snacks. The Golf Shop at the adjacent Denarau Golf & Racquet Club stocks golf equipment, apparel, and arranges lessons and club rentals. The Spa Shop at the Heavenly Spa by Westin carries skincare products and treatments. The Sheraton Convenience Store at Sheraton Denarau Villas handles groceries and household supplies — useful for self-catering guests in the Villas category.

The Denarau Golf & Racquet Club

The Denarau Golf & Racquet Club is the integrated complex’s most distinctive amenity for golfers. The 18-hole championship course was designed by Eiichi Motohashi of Pannya Planning, Japan, and opened in June 1993. At par 72 and 6,538 metres, the course is built on what was originally mangrove swamp — the Pacific marine theme is carried through the design with bunkers shaped like marine creatures and water hazards on 15 of the 18 holes. It’s a wet course by design, requiring course management rather than just distance.

Practice facilities include putting and chipping greens, a driving range, a golf academy, and equipment rentals. The clubhouse restaurant and bar covers food and beverages, with a sports lounge for live sports coverage.

The 10 tennis courts — a mix of synthetic and natural grass — are available for day and night play, with equipment rentals and lessons available for adults and juniors. Only credit card payment is accepted at the club.

Island/Marina Walk

The marina walk is a paved waterfront pathway running approximately 500 metres from the resort to Port Denarau Marina — a 10-minute walk. It follows the waterfront and provides views of the ocean, beach, and the resort’s lagoon pool. The walk is free and accessible to guests and visitors, and it functions equally well as an early morning run route or a pre-dinner stroll.

Port Denarau Marina at the end of the walk is the departure point for most Mamanuca and Yasawa Island cruises, with shops, restaurants, bars, a supermarket, and a pharmacy. It’s also where to book most island day trips if you haven’t arranged them through the resort desk.

Meet The Warriors & Torch Lighting

The nightly beach ceremony is one of the more genuinely engaging cultural experiences available on Denarau Island. Held at approximately 6:00 pm (weather permitting), it runs for about 30 minutes and includes traditional Fijian dancing, singing, fire dancing, and warrior performances, with guests invited to participate in the torch lighting around the resort perimeter. The ceremony gives guests direct exposure to Fijian cultural traditions rather than just observing them from a distance.

Complimentary for all resort guests; no reservation required. Suitable for all ages, including young children. The timing aligns well with sundowners at Tatavu Grill or Chime Lounge.

Kava Tasting

Kava — brewed from the ground root of the kava plant (Piper methysticum) — occupies a central place in Fijian cultural and social life. The kava tasting experience at the resort is staff-guided with instruction on the ceremony’s protocol and etiquette: the clapping rhythm, the correct way to receive and return the bilo (coconut shell cup), and the meaning of each gesture. It’s part of the broader Warriors & Torch Lighting event running from around 6:00 pm.

Kava has mild sedative and relaxant properties at ceremonial doses — a subtle effect that most guests find pleasant rather than disorienting. Complimentary for resort guests; no reservation required. Duration approximately 30 minutes.

Final Thoughts

The Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort earns its position on Denarau through the integrated complex model. The 14 combined restaurants, 6 pools, championship golf course, and 1,350 sqm spa create an amenity footprint that no standalone Denarau property matches. Post the 2022 refurbishment, the rooms are among the most current on the island.

The Tatavu Grill delivers the standout dining experience on property — the firewood grill method and farm-to-table sourcing give it genuine culinary identity. The 28g café’s coffee program is strong. The nightly torch-lighting and kava ceremony runs consistently and is one of the better free cultural experiences on Denarau.

The golf course is a real drawcard for golfers — a 6,538-metre championship layout with water on 15 holes, thoughtfully designed rather than simply built. For non-golfers, the Marina Walk connecting the resort to Port Denarau provides easy access to island departure points and additional dining and shopping options beyond the resort perimeter.

Families and couples can coexist comfortably here, with the Side By Side Kids Club, the adults-only pools at the Westin, and the broad dining spread covering both.
