In short, Fiji is tropical paradise made up of over 220 volcanic and coral islands, of which only 100 or so are inhabited.
The archipelago is situated around 2,000 miles east of Australia, and is flanked by the world's fourth largest barrier reef.
The main lure of Fiji when compared to other South Pacific resorts is the wealth of diversity that is on offer, both geographically and culturally. There truly is something for everyone from romantic couples and discerning travellers to thrill seekers and backpackers.
The main and largest island, Viti Levu is home to the capital, Suvo and the country's main airport - Nadi. Although the capital doesn't have much to offer visitors the island is amass with coral coast beaches, and has the largest concentration of costal resorts of all of Fiji's islands.
The least developed area of Viti Levu is around the northern coast, where you will find some traditional Fijian villages backed by some of the country's most beautiful mountains.
Just a few minutes by plane from Nadi are the Mamanuca Islands, which are easily Fiji's most popular destination. Some of the islands are small enough to walk around, and others are bordered by miles of sweeping beaches. These islands are more geared towards those who wish to party all night, or indulge in leisurely water sports like banana boat rides, para-sailing and game fishing.
On from here are the Yasawa Islands which offer the perfect balance between traditional Fijian life and semi-popular resorts. The pace of life on these islands is generally quite slow, and there is plenty of opportunity to meet other travellers.
For the more romantic getaway then the most isolated island Rotuma, is undoubtedly the winner. Although the most expensive to get to and lacking accommodation, it offers an unparalleled amount of untouched beauty.
Lastly are the northern and southern islands that offer world class scuba diving and surfing opportunities and some excellent night time scuba diving expeditions. On land the dense rainforests and mountains make for exhilarating hiking treks.
With the wealth of activities on offer, it's no surprise to hear that the Fuji has become a popular holidays destination. All of the extra interest in holidays to Fiji has made finding cheap holidays there a breeze a breeze.
