Fish Bar
No if’s nor buts, the Fish Bar is proper deluxe. Its prime location boasts panoramic views overlooking the ocean and the ‘adults only’ infinity pool is right alongside too. The Fish Bar has a contemporary look and feel that respectfully honours island life with its casual yet superbly elegant design. Yes, the seafood fare on the menu is bound deliver guests a most pleasant dining encounter. Think; fresh reef fish expertly prepared with selected sides of zesty local veges or a nourishing salad, the mouth-watering daily crayfish catch, or a delicate ceviche with a tropical coco lime touch.

Travel Tip; book a table on sunset to experience that vivid ‘sea meets horizon’ colourway effect. Also, note that Fish Bar made my best Fiji restaurants list – check it and the other top contenders all out here.
Lagoon House
The Lagoon House is, you guessed it, placed elegantly along the salt water lagoon. This is coastal casual dining done right. The tables inside are well spaced and there’s even a few sweet seats in the sand outside. The food is congruent with a Mediterranean theme; baby octopus salads, roast vegetable arancini, Italian pizza, fresh pasta and a divine selection of appetizing tapas to share. Children will find menu favourites to devour here with ease.
Goji Restaurant
Goji Restaurant is the Marriott Fiji’s main dining space; however it definitely retains a sense of stylish intimacy. Jag a table with an over-water lagoon view at breakfast, order a rich coffee blend and admire the over water lagoon view – complete with tropical fish. Be ready to loosen your belt buckle and tuck into the most decadent breakfast buffet spread yet. Think, gourmet omelettes, amazing pastries, a drool worthy pancake station, huge fruit platters and an exotic Asian tastes section. Come evening at Goji, there’s an extensive a la carte menu and also a themed buffet evening every night of the week. Cheers!
STAY
The five-star overwater bungalows are a huge drawcard for visitors to the Fiji Marriott Momi Bay. Peaceful, private and expertly designed, the stilted bungalows are ideal for both honeymooners and admirers of unique resort suites. Wake up, scan your glorious sea view, walk directly down the deck stairs and dive into the crystal clear lagoon.
We really like staying in the deluxe ocean bure’s too, where the furnishings are pure class, the king bed is heaven sent and your have your own secluded white sand beach just a few steps from your room.
The Fiji Marriott Momi Bay takes the proverbial cake when it comes to a luxury getaway that incorporates the top three South Pacific holiday dreams; beachfront bures, water sports galore and first class modern cuisine.
