Sofitel Fiji Resort and Spa’s $30 million refurbishments will set this renowned resort apart from many other resorts in Fiji. The latest area under refurbishment is the arrival area at the entrance, foyer and reservations and with the images showing what the transformation would look like, the Sofitel Fiji Resort and Spa will surely set itself apart from major tourist destinations in Fiji.

The resort has already completed the refurbishment of the famous Watui Beach Club and its rooms, the newly built Kid’s Club and restaurants including the new concept Bazaar Kitchen.

The new buffet restaurant is the first of its kind in Fiji and features seven interactive kitchens – French, Fijian, Arabic, Indian, Japanese, Chinese and American Grill.

Republik Nightclub

The resort opened its $1.6million Republik Nightclub in December and is the only nightclub on Denarau Island which features international disc jockeys on special occasions.

The resort’s director of sales and marketing Michael Bell said the entrance and foyer had been closed.

“Yes this is currently offline for renovation till early March 2020,” Mr Bell said.

He added the resort had received excellent feedback for both the Republik Nightclub as well as the Bazaar Kitchen.

“This year the resort would be looking at the renovations and refurbishment of of three wings of guest rooms on the family section.

“We are in discussions to possibly add another wing of rooms, about 66 rooms in total to the hotel.

“This wing would run down the family side of the resort next to our boundary with Hilton.”

However Mr Bell did not disclose when work on this new additional wing would start.

The renovations and refurbishment are being done with minimum disruptions to guests.
