Hotel Information: A short driveway leads to the porte-cochere of the Outrigger on the Lagoon Fiji and leads into the open-air lobby, where fans whirl high in a vaulted ceiling. Guests from Australia and New Zealand, as well as the UK and North America, congregate at groups of leather sofas and low tables decorated with tropical flowers. The reception is on the left, backed by a Fijian scene. Wood carvings decorate the walls. Straight ahead, the lobby opens up to a balcony with sweeping views over the resort and lagoon. Restaurants and sports facilities are scattered through the 40-acre landscaped gardens, where streams flow and frogs croak.

Insider tip: Outrigger on the Lagoon Fiji stands on the Coral Coast, which runs along the west coast of Viti Levu. It is well worth taking a day to explore the byways along the coast, which combines rocky bays and beaches with rolling hills, farmland and fishing villages. The Coral Coast ends at Waidrka Bay, which is known for its surfing. The side road from nearby Sigatoka, the Sigatoka Valley Road, follows a river among some splendid scenery and sugarcane fields and ends at Tavuni, where there are remains of ancient tribal fortifications.

Set atop “Heavenly Hill” at the Outrigger on the Lagoon, Bebe Spa’s ocean-view treatment rooms provide an ideal setting for pampering the body and mind. Built to maximise the therapeutic benefits of each guest’s experience, the spa’s seven suspended treatment rooms reflect innovative design.

Spa treatments listed below are available to reserve in advance on-line during the final steps of the booking process.

Treatments offer a blend of traditional Fijian techniques with Asian-inspired additions and focus on rejuvenation and relaxation utilising the curative properties of hydro and aromatherapy. Bebe Spa features Pevonia Botanical products (made using the time-tested ingredients of nature combined with the latest advances in scientific technologies) and Pure Fiji products (produced locally with all-natural ingredients and pure coconut oil as a base for its line products).

Fijian Bobo Massage:
A traditional Fijian massage that has been proudly passed down through the generations. This unique massage technique consists of long fluid strokes from the hands, elbows, and forearms of your therapist combined with an application of warm coconut massage oil.

Balinese Massage:
This ultimate stress reliever commences at the base of the spine with firm thumb caresses that move slowly upward releasing tension at the core. It ends with a relaxing head massage.

Swedish Aromatherapy Massage:
Long gliding strokes toward the heart aids blood and lymphatic flow. Precise acupressure on the hands and neck ends this world-renowned type of massage. With the clean rejuvenating scent of mandarin oil, nothing could be sweeter.

Fresh Sugar Cane Glow:
Coconut sugar scrub with fresh sugar cane crystals contains naturally occurring alpha hydroxyl to gently buff away ageing skin cells. A blend of cold-pressed virgin oil and exotic nut extracts nourish, moisturise, and protect the skin leaving it glowing and healthy.

Coconut Cream Scrub:
The South Pacific secret to beautiful skin. Pineapple extracts gently buff away dull skin cells and unclog pores to rejuvenate skin. Vitamin-rich coconut cream and exotic nut extracts deeply moisturise and nourish skin, leaving it smooth, clean, and revitalised.

Dilo and Cucumber Body Wrap:
Inspired by Fijian traditions, Dilo and coconut oil are combined in a skin care treatment that heals, soothes, and replenishes skin's moisture balance. Dilo and coconut oil are rich in vitamins A, B, C, and E, offering restorative effects for sun exposed skin. This treatment has exceptional moisturising properties to eliminate dry skin, while cucumber imparts a cooling and healing effect.

Pure Fiji Bliss Facial:
Using nature's best from the Pure Fiji product range, guests enjoy the power of coconut in a full-hour facial including face cleansing, peeling, visage mask, and moisturiser. While the facial mask works its natural magic, a hand massage is provided to lead guests into a deep state of relaxation.
