Territories and tourist destinations
Viti Levu: full screen map.The northern coast of Viti Levu offers spectacular landscapes especially around Vaileka. It is known as the coast of the sun due to its drier climate than anywhere else. However, it has few tourist infrastructures.
On the other hand, the west and south coasts are more developed. The hotels are mainly concentrated in the stretch of coast called "Costa di Corallo" but it is the offshore islands that have the most beautiful landscapes and the best seabeds, in particular Beqa and its lagoon.
