JW MARRIOTT TO UNVEIL A LUXURY ISLAND RETREAT IN FIJI

Fiji is set to welcome a new luxury island retreat with the anticipated opening of JW Marriott Fiji Resort & Spa on Denarau Island in the first quarter of 2027. Slated to feature 282 rooms, the resort will mark the debut of the JW Marriott brand in the Pacific Islands, with reservations expected to open in December 2026. Inspired by J. Willard Marriott’s approach to life, JW Marriott offers a haven where every detail is thoughtfully considered, allowing guests to be fully present and focus on what matters most – the whole self; mind, body and spirit.
The upcoming resort will transform the existing Westin Fiji Golf Resort & Spa, a much-loved destination with an important place in Fiji’s hospitality history.The ambition behind the introduction of the JW Marriott brand is to set a new benchmark for luxury hospitality and to strengthen Fiji’s position in the luxury travel market to meet traveller demands for luxury tourism experiences.
JW Marriott Fiji Resort & Spa is expected to feature thoughtfully designed spaces that invite guests to slow down, reconnect and be fully present. Plans include premium guestrooms and suites, two-bedroom villas with private swimming pools, a large family pool and a dedicated adults-only pool with a poolside bar and dining.
A new lobby and communal areas will draw the natural surroundings indoors, fostering a deeper connection to place, while dedicated kids club and a teen zone are expected to deliver an enhanced experience for guests of all ages.
The resort’s extensive bar and dining offering is planned to include an all-day dining restaurant bringing together global flavours and Pacific traditions; JW Market, offering casual all-day refreshments and grab-and-go options; a specialty restaurant drawing on Japanese influences with locally sourced ingredients; a wine and cocktail-focused lounge; and an elevated dining and cultural experience rooted in Fijian tradition.
Designed for life’s celebrations, business gatherings and special events, JW Marriott Fiji Resort & Spa is planned to feature a 309-square-metre ballroom, a 490-square-metre pre-function foyer, and five dedicated meeting rooms. The ballroom is planned to accommodate up to 180 guests in a banquet seating.
Upon opening, JW Marriott Fiji Resort & Spa is expected to provide Marriott Bonvoy members and travellers with a restorative luxury retreat on Denarau Island, where JW Marriott’s mindful approach to hospitality comes together with Fiji’s rich culture, nourishing culinary and wellness experiences, and meaningful moments of connection.
