The Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort is the beachfront flagship of Denarau Island — a five-star resort that sits directly on a private sand beach, with a 70-metre free-form lagoon pool flowing from the lobby straight to the reef-sheltered ocean. It's the only Denarau hotel that owns a swimmable sand beach rather than a seawall or marina-side deck, and the resort pairs that with shared access to the 18-hole championship Denarau Golf & Racquet Club next door, making it the rare mainland Fiji resort that's genuinely strong for both beachgoers and golfers.
This guide breaks down everything you need to plan a stay at the Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort on Denarau Island — the highlights, the right room to book, the best time to go, what to do around the resort and around Fiji, and how to lock in your flights, hotels, rental cars, eSIMs, bikes, and Fiji tours in one place, so you arrive on Denarau with the whole trip already laid out.
What Makes the Sheraton Fiji Special
The Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort has built its reputation on three things: being the only Denarau resort that sits directly on a swimmable sand beach, pairing the beach with a championship golf course next door, and an integrated family-and-suite guest experience linked to the neighbouring Westin and Sheraton Denarau Villas. Below are the highlights that define a stay here.
Beachfront Lagoon-Style Pool
The Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort is the only Denarau hotel that sits directly on a private sand beach, with a 70-metre free-form lagoon pool winding from the lobby to the beach. A barrier reef just offshore keeps the calm-water lagoon protected, ideal for floaters and shaded family swims.
Denarau Golf & Racquet Club Access
Sheraton Fiji guests share access to the 18-hole championship Denarau Golf & Racquet Club course on the Westin side of the resort island. The course wraps around tropical waterways and the Pacific wind plays a part in every round — a genuinely memorable layout for golfers who want more than just a hotel stay.
On a Private Sand Beach, Steps from the Pool
Unlike most Denarau resorts, the Sheraton Fiji sits directly on a swimmable sand beach, not a marina or seawall. The water is calm and reef-sheltered, the sunsets face west over the Mamanuca Islands, and the pool deck flows straight onto the sand with a short lagoon path to either side.
Bebe Spa & Beachfront Chickens
Bebe Spa is the resort's signature wellness space, with beachfront treatment bures and treatments that blend Fijian massage with local coconut and frangipani under a traditional Fijian bure roof. A swim-up bar, beach loungers, and Bebe Spa services line the pool deck all day.
Multiple Restaurants on Site
Sheraton Fiji guests can eat across three venues without leaving the resort — Lagoon Limas for Mediterranean-style dining, the beachside Sanasau Steakhouse, and the open-air Feast Cookhouse for fresh seafood and wood-fired dishes. The neighbouring Westin and Denarau Marina extend the dining scene to over a dozen options.
Champions Club Family Program
The Sheraton Golf & Beach is one of the most family-friendly resorts on Denarau, with the Champions program hosting kids' activities, a children's pool, and supervised beach play. Two-bedroom beachfront suites and interconnecting rooms make multi-generational family trips practical.
Which Room Should You Book?
Rooms at the Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort span everything from garden-view guest rooms to beachfront pool suites with direct sand-side access into the lagoon. Most guests book garden or lagoon views for shorter stays, while families and honeymooners go for the Beachfront Pool Suite — the headline suite at the resort and the room that defines the Sheraton Fiji experience.
Garden View Guest Room
Entry-level rooms with a private balcony or terrace overlooking the tropical gardens. A comfortable base for couples and short stays; the pool and beach are a two-minute walk across the resort.
Lagoon View Guest Room
Rooms with a balcony overlooking the lagoon-style pool, with reef-light views in the late afternoon. The right pick for couples who want to fall asleep to pool sound and wake up to views of the lagoon.
Ocean View Guest Room
Upper-floor rooms with the most expansive views over the beach, the reef-sheltered lagoon, and the Mamanuca Islands on the horizon. The pick for the iconic Fiji beach-front perspective at sunrise and sunset.
Beachfront Pool Suite (Sleeps 4)
A signature suite with direct sand-side steps into the lagoon pool, a separate living area, two bedrooms (sleeps up to four), and a wrap-around balcony. The headline suite at the Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort, ideal for families and couples splurging.
Fiji in Pictures
A Day at the Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach
A typical day at the Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort starts with breakfast at the open-air Feast Cookhouse, where the resort's wood-fired breakfast is a quiet, easy start under the lobby deck. The morning is when most guests claim a lounger on the beachfront lagoon pool deck — the early hours are calm, the water is cool, and the swim-up bar opens with the resort's signature Fiji Breeze cocktail (mango, lime, and rum) by late morning.
The middle of the day splits between the pool and the beach (for couples and families) and the championship Denarau Golf & Racquet Club (for golfers). The 18-hole course wraps around tropical waterways, the Pacific wind plays a part in every round, and morning tee times are the most popular with resort guests. Non-golfers head to Bebe Spa for a traditional Fijian massage in a beachside bure, or take the Bula Bus to Port Denarau Marina for a Mamanuca or Yasawa island cruise.
Dinner at the resort is a genuine highlight — Sanasau Steakhouse serves premium cuts and fresh seafood on the beachfront deck, while Lagoon Limas offers relaxed Mediterranean-style dining by the pool. For the cultural night, the weekly Lovo earth-oven feast, with kava ceremony and Fijian meke dancing under the lagoon-side bure, is one of the best mainland resort dining experiences in Fiji — book it through the concierge at the start of your stay.
When to Go & What to Expect
The dry season from May to October is the best time to stay at the Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort — clear skies over the beachfront lagoon pool, calm seas over the reef, and the most reliable rounds of golf at the Denarau Golf Course. June and September are the sweet spot: good weather, slightly fewer crowds, and reasonable rates. July and August are peak, with school holiday guests from Australia and New Zealand pushing beachfront pool suites to fill well in advance.
The wet season from November to April brings short, heavier afternoon showers, higher humidity, and occasional tropical lows — but rates drop sharply, the beachfront suites are excellent value, and the lagoon pool is warm. The wet season is also a smart choice for couples on a budget, golfers who'd rather play under a soft sky than the hot dry-season sun, and families who don't mind a rain-soaked afternoon in the suite. Pack reef-safe SPF 50+, a hat, swimwear, and a light waterproof layer in the wet months.
Plan a 4–6 night stay to make the most of the resort, a couple of rounds of golf, and at least one Mamanuca island day tour. Shorter stays feel rushed because the beach, the golf course, and the island-hopping cruises are all-day propositions; a longer stay lets you settle into the lagoon pool and the marina rhythm without feeling that you are leaving Fiji too soon.
Smart Sheraton Fiji Travel Tips
Where it sits
The Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort is in the heart of Denarau Island, a 5-minute shuttle from Port Denarau Marina and a 20-minute transfer from Nadi International Airport (NAN). It shares the resort island with the Westin Denarau and Sheraton Denarau Villas, all linked by the Bula Bus route.
Best time to go
The dry season from May to October brings calm seas over the reef, clear skies for the beachfront lagoon pool, and the most reliable rounds of golf at the Denarau Golf & Racquet Club. June and September are the sweet spot; July and August are peak with the resort booking out for school holiday guests from Australia and New Zealand.
Golf is the headline activity
The Sheraton Fiji is paired with the 18-hole Denarau Golf & Racquet Club course, which is the most-coursed round on Viti Levu's mainland. Book tee times through the resort concierge two or three days in advance; morning tee times drift with the more comfortable Pacific breeze.
You can use three resorts
Guests at the Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort share access to the Westin Denarau and Sheraton Denarau Villas — three pools, several restaurants, the Westin's spa, and the Westin's separate beachfront. It's effectively one mega-resort across the three Sheraton properties with an internal Bula Bus linking them.
Book island-hopping day tours from Port Denarau
The Sheraton Fiji is a five-minute Bula Bus ride from Port Denarau Marina, the departure point for nearly every Mamanuca and Yasawa island cruise, sunset sail, and snorkel trip. Book through the concierge 1–2 days ahead for the dry-season peak.
Pick the Beachfront Pool Suite for splurge stays
If you're splurging on a honeymoon or anniversary, the Beachfront Pool Suite at the Sheraton Golf & Beach is the suite that defines the resort — direct sand-side pool access, ocean-view balcony, and a separate living space for slow mornings.
Flights to Fiji for a Denarau Stay
Every Denarau trip begins with a flight to Nadi International Airport (NAN), a 20-minute transfer from the Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort. Nadi is served non-stop by Fiji Airways (the national carrier and most frequent service from Los Angeles, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland, and Honolulu), Qantas, Jetstar, Air New Zealand, and United Airlines from San Francisco. Book 3+ months ahead for the dry-season peak and the Christmas and Lunar New Year rush.
From Nadi, a private transfer or prepaid airport taxi to Denarau takes about 20 minutes via the Denarau causeway. Most guests arrange a hotel transfer through the Sheraton or take an airport taxi — a rental car isn't strictly necessary if you plan to stay island-hopping from Port Denarau and play only the resort golf course, but it is the easiest way to explore the Coral Coast, the Sabeto mud pools, and the Sleeping Giant mountains.
Book Your Sheraton Fiji Stay
Reserve a beachfront pool suite or a lagoon-view guest room well ahead of the dry-season peak — the Beachfront Pool Suite at the Sheraton Golf & Beach sells out fastest because it's the resort's headline suite with direct sand-side pool access. Use the booking tool below to compare rates and confirm your dates.
Book Sheraton FijiGetting Around Fiji
A rental car is the easiest way to explore beyond Denarau — the Coral Coast, the Sabeto mud pools, and the Sleeping Giant mountains are all within a short drive. The Bula Bus handles Denarau itself, but a rental car opens up the rest of Viti Levu for golfers and families wanting more than just the resort.
Stay Connected with a Fiji eSIM
Activate a Fiji eSIM before you land at Nadi so you step into your airport transfer with maps, the resort Wi-Fi backup, and your island-hopping tour and tee-time confirmations ready. Pair it with the resort Wi-Fi and you'll never need a roaming fee again.
Get a Fiji eSIMRent a Bike or Scooter in Fiji
A scooter is a fun, low-cost way to explore Denarau Island, Nadi town, and the back roads of Viti Levu for short local trips. Book online ahead of time to skip the roadside haggling and compare rates.
Rent a BikeThings to Do Around the Sheraton Fiji
Because the Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort is in the heart of Denarau Island, it is the easiest home base for every island boat trip and mainland day tour in Fiji. Most guests do at least one Mamanuca or Yasawa island day cruise — sailing, snorkelling, and dolphin-spotting from Port Denarau. Other popular day tours from the resort include a half-day expedition to the Sabeto Mud Pools and Sleeping Giant mountain hot springs, a Sigatoka River Safari on the Coral Coast, and a round of golf at the championship Denarau Golf & Racquet Club next door.

Where is the Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort?
The Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort is on Denarau Island, the man-made luxury resort island on the mainland coast of Viti Levu, about 20 minutes from Nadi International Airport (NAN) and a 5-minute shuttle from Port Denarau Marina. It shares the resort island with the Westin Denarau and Sheraton Denarau Villas.
Does the Sheraton Fiji have a golf course?
Yes — guests of the Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort share access to the 18-hole Denarau Golf & Racquet Club, a championship golf course designed around tropical waterways and the Pacific breeze, adjacent to the Westin Denarau. Tee times are arranged through the resort concierge, and morning rounds are the most popular with guests from the resort.
Is the Sheraton Fiji on a swimable beach?
Yes — the Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort is one of the only Denarau resorts that sits directly on a private sand beach, with a barrier reef just offshore keeping the beachfront lagoon calm and protected. The 70-metre lagoon-style pool flows from the lobby to the sand, making it easy to move between the pool and the ocean on the same day.
How far is the Sheraton Fiji from Nadi Airport?
Nadi International Airport (NAN) is about a 20-minute drive from the Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort on Denarau Island. Most guests arrange a private transfer or take a prepaid airport taxi; the resort also offers a shuttle service. Allow a little more time in peak Nadi traffic between 5pm and 7pm for the trip into Denarau.
Is the Sheraton Fiji good for families?
Yes — the Sheraton Golf & Beach is one of the most family-friendly Denarau resorts. It has a children's pool, the Champions program for kids' activities, beach play, and spacious two-bedroom beachfront suites that sleep up to four comfortably. The shared access to the Westin and Sheraton Villas pools adds even more variety for families over a longer stay.
When is the best time to stay at the Sheraton Fiji?
The dry season from May to October is the best time — clear skies for the beachfront lagoon pool, calm seas over the reef, and the most reliable golf at the Denarau Golf Course. June and September are the sweet spot. The wet season from November to April brings afternoon rain and humidity, but rates drop sharply and the resort is much quieter.
Final Tips for a Sheraton Fiji Stay
The Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort is the right resort for a specific kind of Fiji trip: a beach and golf combination holiday, a multi-generational family gathering, or a couples trip where one of you is on the championship Denarau course by 8am and the other is at the beachfront lagoon pool by 10am. The private sand beach, the 70-metre lagoon pool, the shared access to the Westin and Sheraton Denarau Villas, and the championship golf course next door make it the most versatile home base on Denarau for travellers who want more than just a hotel — and the dry-season peak runs through the northern summer and Christmas, so booking the Beachfront Pool Suite 3+ months ahead is the difference between a sand-side pool deck and a garden view.
With flights to Nadi, a Sheraton Fiji suite booked, a rental car for exploring Viti Levu, a Fiji eSIM before you land, a scooter for Denarau, and your Mamanuca and Coral Coast tours reserved, all that's left is the airport transfer to Denarau, the first afternoon at the beachfront lagoon pool, a Sanasau Steakhouse dinner on the sand, and the slow south Pacific days that have made the Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort the most-booked beach-and-golf resort on Denarau Island. Use the booking tools on this page to make the whole trip happen in one place.
