Situated on a private beachfront location on Denarau Island - Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa - proudly announces the completion of its extensive renovation program. A 50-million-dollar capital investment, led by interior design studio CHADA whose inspiration stemmed from the hotel's local surroundings where land meets the ocean, the renovation which took three years to complete features a total transformation of guest rooms and public spaces including several new amenities and experiences for travelers to enjoy. The first full renovation since the property opened its doors in 2005, Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa presents today a new and modern retreat where beach resort merges with luxury hotel facilities, surrounded by Fiji's beauty and culture, polished by a touch of French elegance.
