Fiji’s largest isle, Vitu Levu, is home to the official capital, Suva (on the east coast), as well as the tourism capital, Nadi, arrival point for international flights via Air Pacific. But don’t hop on that interisland flight right away. Take a taxi ride from Nadi International Airport to the forested foothills of the Sabeto Range where late actor Raymond Burr (of Perry Mason fame) created the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, a botanic sanctuary of vanilla-scented orchids and Zen-like lily ponds. Make the most of it by checking into the family-run Fiji Orchid resort. Stay in one of six elegant bures (Fijian-style bungalows), each with glass walls and a tent-like roof. The feel is blissfully remote, but you’re only 15 minutes from downtown Nadi.
