Hotels

Where To Stay In Pacific Harbour -- If you're on a low budget, check out Tsulu Beach House & Apartments. Part of the Arts Village , it was under construction during my recent visit.

Where To Stay On Beqa Island -- Cost-conscious travelers can stay at Lawaki Beach House (tel. 992 1621 or 926 9229; www.lawakibeachhouse.com), on Beqa's southwestern coast. It has two simple but comfortable bures with bathrooms and porches, a six-person dormitory, and space for campers. Rates range from F$52 (US$31) to F$95 (US$57) per person, including meals.

Guests arrive at the Beqa Island resorts by 30- to 45-minute boat ride from Pacific Harbour or by seaplane or helicopter from Nadi.
