THE PEARL RESORT & SPA
Our Resort Report
Our Thoughts on The Pearl Resort & Spa, Queens Road, Pacific Harbour, Viti Levu, Fiji
A modernised and upgraded full-service resort hotel, kilometres of white sand beach, a championship 18-hole golf course, The Pacific Harbour Arts Village, shops and cafés across the road and Suva City within an hour’s drive (50km) – this is a GREAT spot for a holiday in Fiji.
With direct flights between Auckland and Suva, The Pearl Resort at Pacific Harbour is a favourite with Kiwi travellers. As well as being a perfect spot for a Fiji holiday, the location is also ideal for those wishing to combine business and pleasure by utilising Fiji Airways direct services from Auckland to Suva and perhaps combining a stay at The Pearl Resort with a resort further along the Coral Coast, or staying at Denarau or on an off-shore island; then departing from Nadi back to New Zealand.
On a recent visit to The Pearl Resort we were delighted to find the whole place alive and busy with guests from a wide range of countries enjoying the facilities and the surroundings. There is a terrific choice of dining options including their up-market “Seduce Restaurant”, the river-side Riviera Restaurant & Bar, the Pacific Bar & Grill overlooking the gold fairways, the swim-up Pool Bar and our favourite, The Deli for lighter meals and snacks.
The resort is bordered on one side by a river and also faces wonderful Deuba Beach (swimmable at all tides) with views out over the Beqa Lagoon to Beqa Island in the middle distance. There is a marina on the river and guests staying in the Premium Marina View Rooms enjoy watching the comings and goings of the cruising yachts as they enter from the ocean and the activities of the transfer boats serving Beqa Island and the various island resorts out in the Beqa Lagoon.
The gym at The Pearl Resort is worth a special mention. It is fully air-conditioned and located in a particularly tranquil setting overlooking a lily pond and is fully equipped with a full range of equipment which we found to be in excellent order. The Pearl Spa is another welcome facility and offers a wide range of treatments.
This is one of the best equipped resorts in Fiji and several of the facilities and services are available to guests at no additional cost. In addition to the above, guests enjoy Fijian entertainment at breakfast and dinner.
The staff at The Pearl take the natural Fijian friendliness to another level.

Your Accommodation Options
Over the years this hotel has had various owners and brandings. The two original blocks were built when the fashion was for rather dark décor to capture the mood of the interior of an authentic Fijian Bure. However, now that the resort is under the “Pearl” brand a new modern wing (in which the rooms are all in the modern light, bright décor) has been added beside the marina (where the boats servicing Beqa Island and the resorts of the Beqa Lagoon arrive and depart) and the original wings have been modernised and upgraded. The original wings house the Penthouse Suites, The Garden View Rooms and the Ocean View Rooms. The more recently added accommodation wings house the "Premium" Rooms.
