Elsei, Fiji: A Hidden Paradise in the South Pacific
Elei is a small seaside settlement on the northern coast of Fiji's Viti Levu island, under the jurisdiction of the province of La. Nestled between lush coconut groves and the turquoise Pacific Ocean, this tranquil village attracts travelers seeking an in-depth experience with its pristine natural beauty and traditional Fijian culture.
Natural Landscape and Ecology
The unspoiled coral reefs and crystal clear waters surrounding Else are ideal for snorkeling and diving. The village is backed by dense rainforest and there are several hiking trails nearby to explore the local vegetation and birdlife. Due to its relatively remote location, it retains Fiji's most authentic marine ecosystem.
Culture and Lifestyle
The inhabitants make their living from traditional fishing and agriculture, and still maintain practices such as group work ("lala") and kava ceremonies. Visitors can participate in village-organized cultural experiences such as weaving handicrafts, learning to make 'lovo', and experiencing the 'bula' spirit of Fijian hospitality.
Useful Travel Information
Elsewhere is about 3 hours drive from Nadi International Airport, north on the Kings Road. Accommodation is predominantly family-run B&Bs, and booking through a local travel agent is recommended. The best time to travel is during the dry season from May to October, so please be careful to respect village taboos (e.g. enter tribal areas with permission and dress appropriately).
