Two Trips, Two Vibes Fiji has a way of pulling you back, like the tide, but with more coconuts. I’ve been lucky enough to visit twice, and each trip offered a completely different experience. First was a stay at the polished and pampering Shangri-La on the Coral Coast. The second was a journey farther afield, out to Treasure Island, where life slows down, shoes become optional, and time itself seems to politely excuse itself from the conversation. Two trips, two vibes, but one undeniable truth: Fiji is different from your average tropical getaway. Part One: Shangri-La. Easy Breezy Island Luxury Staying at the Shangri-La is like checking into a postcard. One complete with perfectly raked beaches, swim-up bars, and sunsets so good you’ll think they’ve been Photoshopped by the management.
