Picolo recommends · Hotel in the Mamanuca Islands, Fiji
Six Senses Fiji
Every villa has its own pool, the bigger ones sleep a whole family, and a boat can take you out to a bar standing on the reef.
Morning starts with a swim in your own pool before anyone else is up. The villas at Six Senses all come with one, and several have two or more bedrooms, so parents, children or friends get a door of their own.
The resort shares Malolo with Likuliku but feels very different: bigger, more social, with a large spa and a club for children. Much of the electricity comes from the sun, which suits the barefoot mood.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Six Senses Fiji
For a family or a group of friends who want space in Fiji, this is our choice. You get privacy in the villa, things to do for the children and a spa for the adults.
Prices are steep, even by Fiji standards. At low tide the lagoon in front turns shallow, so swimming off the beach depends on the time of day. Couples after total quiet may prefer an adults-only island.

Can you swim from the beach at Six Senses Fiji?
Mostly, but the lagoon gets shallow at low tide. Check the tide times and use your villa pool when the water is out.
