Fiji is a beach-lovers heaven- but that doesn’t mean every day is gorgeous and sunny. You’ll benefit from planning ahead and booking in the right travel period to make the most of this tropical paradise. Being a close-to-home option for Australians, Fiji is a magnificent destination with plenty of luxury resorts to indulge in. When deciding on the best time to visit Fiji, there’s a definite dry and wet season to plan around.
The dry season is the best time to visit Fiji as there is a greater chance of experiencing no rain at all. During July and August, you can expect a maximum of four days of rain or participation in a month. Being the coldest part of the year for Australians, visiting in July and August makes for a great summer getaway. Expect it to be busier this time of year, with Australian and New Zealand school holidays being in July.
Temperatures in July and August can peak at about 29 degrees during the day. Keep in mind this is Winter in Fiji, so the nights may get a bit cooler. This time of year is the best time to visit Fiji, as it’s perfect for exploring the island yet also for relaxing by the stunning beaches.
With the dry season spanning from May to October, we would recommend going between these months. For more sunshine, warm days and tropical weather we’d say these months are the best time to visit Fiji.
To be specific, perhaps the best time to visit Fiji is May. By this time, most of the rain has stopped, the skies are clearer and it’s not as hot as summer. As it’s close to the shoulder months, May offers a great balance of pleasant weather, fewer crowds and more availability on some of your favourite luxury hotels.
