Fiji’s nightlife cannot be compared to party towns like Ibiza, but it is well worth checking out. Some of its topmost bars are situated in the world-class resorts and luxury hotels that abound on the island, but there are some standalone places that catch the eye, too. Fiji’s bars are perfect for hanging out with friends in while you taste delicious fruity cocktails and local beer.

　　Here are five of the best bars in Fiji.

　　Cloud 9

　　Cloud 9 is Fiji's first two-level floating platform with an internationally stocked bar and Italian wood-fired pizzeria surrounded by turquoise blue water and picturesque views. Family-run and handcrafted with precision and creativity, the bar has a laidback and naturally classy vibe, a beautiful sun deck, multiple day beds, and a quality surround sound system. Try the local favourites of Fiji Gold, Fiji Bitter and Fiji Rum Co, and the bar's very own cocktails and mocktails.

　　Ice Bar

　　One of Nadi’s favourite night spots is Ice Bar. Established in 2008, they serve a wide range of local and imported beers, ready-to-drink beverages, and spirits that are a big draw with residents and tourists. A resident DJ is open to playing any song of your choice every night of the week. The bartenders aim to serve the best-curated drinks while the on-site chef whips up the spiciest and tastiest meals that complement your drink selection.
