About Fiji
We love Fiji and could go on for ages extolling the virtues of the wonderful warm climate, crystal clear waters and world renowned Fijian hospitality. We know a lot about Octopus Resort but here’s what the experts say about Fiji and the South Pacific region.

When to Come
Its mild tropical climate means that Fiji can be enjoyed all year round and it is a popular escape from the winters in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Perhaps the best time to come, however, is in the dry season or ‘Fiji winter’, from April to November. This time of year has cooler temperatures, less rainfall and humidity.
