Five Star MICE deal

A special meetings deal is on offer as the Aussie C&I market demonstrates keen interest in Fiji’s new five-star resort located on Denarau Island.

Director of Conferences & Incentives, Natalie Brumniach says the industry is already welcoming the added conference capacity available at the resort which opened in December 2005 with a grand launch event attended by the Fijian Prime Minister.

“Fiji is one of a variety of new destinations now competing for the Australian, New Zealand and Asian C&I market,” says Ms Brumniach. “The new Sofitel Resort is already working to inspire new confidence and capacity for Fiji to pursue larger scale C&I groups and establish the destination as a serious contender for off-shore conference business.”

Ms Brumniach says the resort has not only increased the region’s five-star room inventory and introduced new state-of-the-art events technology, but offers expanded Fiji experiences and activities as part of its new C&I strategy.

Sofitel Fiji has the largest conference venue in Fiji with its ballroom seating up to 720 delegates theatre-style and 640 for a banquet style event.

The resort’s 8 meeting rooms also have private gardens and verandahs.

Not only does the resort introduce high-tech conferencing, but a range of event and leisure activities are offered by sports and action specialist Adrenalin Fiji, including skydiving, sailing, scuba diving and snorkelling.

Other resort attractions include a private imported-sand beach, the Pacific’s largest lagoon-style swimming pool with a deep dive section, spa and waterslide, bars and restaurants, the Turtle Club for children, shops and a private beachside wedding chapel.

Resort guests also have access to the Denarau Golf & Racquet Club with its 18-hole golf course and 10 tennis courts.

Mandara provides a range of spa treatments and massages at the resort’s beachside day spa with nine self-contained treatment bures.
