Fijian singing, tropical island feeling and a relaxed atmosphere perfect for getting away from it all

The owner-managed, cozy beach resort is located on the main island Viti Levu in the village of Lautoka and has the only white coral sand beach in the Nadi region. Set amidst the tropical rainforest, this intimate, authentic Fijian resort on Nalamu Beach is the perfect stopover on your way to an unforgettable trip to Fiji.

This romantic resort is perfect for couples and families and offers guests a personal service with authentic Fijian hospitality.

According to local legend, First Landing’s beach is the very first place foot was set on by the settlers and adventurers about 3500 years ago, around 1500 BC.

Due to its west-facing location, you can enjoy breathtaking sunsets with a magical display of colors and a stunning view of the Mamanuca Islands.

The resort, with its unique beach location, has a pool, a beach restaurant, two bars, a spa, and a boutique.

Tropical living under palm trees

The First Landing Resort offers an incredible variety of villas, bungalows, and apartments to suit every budget and also with a self-catering option. The accommodation offers plenty of privacy with either garden views or spectacular views of the nearby islands and the Pacific Ocean. Modern design blends beautifully with the Fiji rainforest village style. The typical high ceilings make the accommodation seem even more spacious than they are. They all have a terrace, air conditioning, fan, refrigerator, tea/coffee maker, safe, telephone, and radio but no TV.

Villas

The villas offer loads of comfort, have a private pool, and one to three bedrooms.

Royal Beach Villa

The luxurious Royal Beachfront Villa, which Prince Charles also visited, is a beautiful private oasis under majestic palm trees and massive flowering rain trees in the middle of a lush tropical garden. It is perfect for a honeymoon!

This villa with ocean views has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchenette, a living area on the ground floor, a beautiful pool, an outdoor shower, and a terrace with a sitting area.

Besides the bar, you have the chance to buy beautiful handmade gifts, jewelry, and souvenirs from locals at their own stands during the day. Otherwise, there are also marvelous, unique pieces and items for daily use available in the resort boutique.

Sunset Cocktail & Happy Hour
Delicious cocktails are served at the Nalamu & Domoni Sunset Bar while the staff sings lovely Fijian songs.

Dinner
At the beach restaurant, Mai Kana, you can enjoy delicious dishes with your feet in the sand and a mesmerizing view of the ocean, terrific live music, and personal service.

Besides the brilliant live music from the talented and gifted singers at the resort, there is so much more on offer, such as:

Friday: Beach BBQ & Village Meke – local village group tell you about Fijian history through song and dance

We especially loved the singing at First Landing. In the evening, every table gets serenaded. And the famous farewell song “Isa Lei” is dedicated to each guest that leaves the following day.
