Smugglers Cove Beach Resort & Hotel

Nadi


Fun, well-run and with major buzz, this is one of Nadi's most popular choices. Though it offers family rooms, it's geared towards young budget travellers looking for a social spot with facilities and activities galore: parties and programs (kava sessions, knife throwing, fire dancing) rock on through the night, while non-motorised water sports and golf gear come free for those functioning in the daytime.

The cheaper dormitory is fairly cramped, with 34 bunk beds divided into cubicles of four. The smaller, brighter dorms (including one women-only) are more expensive but offer better value and more privacy.
