Nightlife

Coral Coast nightlife centers around the hotels and whatever Fiji meke shows they are sponsoring.

The Fijian fire walkers from Beqa, an island off the south coast (remember, it's pronounced M-bengga, not Beck-a), parade across the steaming stones to the incantations of "witch doctors" at least once a week at the Hideaway Resort (tel. 650 0177), Outrigger on the Lagoon Fiji (tel. 650 0044), and the Warwick Fiji (tel. 653 0010). Call them or ask at your hotel for the schedule.

Gecko's Restaurant (tel. 652 0200) in the Kalevu South Pacific Cultural Center has a 1-hour Fijian dance show Monday to Friday nights and a 3-hour version on Sunday evening. Call for reservations. The Hideaway Resort (tel. 650 0177) has a South Pacific show on Sunday and its excellent cabaret shows during the week.
