When to visit

The ideal time to visit Momi is during Fiji’s dry season (May to October), when there is minimal rainfall, and the sunny and mild weather is perfect for outdoor activities like hiking, snorkeling, and relaxing on the island's pristine beaches. While the wet season (November to April) brings occasional tropical rains, visitors interested in a quieter experience will enjoy fewer crowds in addition to lush landscapes.

Getting around

Momi is easily accessible from Nadi International Airport, just an hour’s drive away. Airport Shuttle Fiji offers travelers staying at the Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay service to and from the airport. For those looking to explore beyond the resort, renting a car is a convenient option. Nearby villages can also be visited through guided tours offered by local operators.

Traveler tips

A trip to Momi Battery Historical Park is a must—it’s a World War II coastal defense site built to protect the Navula Passage from Japanese soldiers. Check out the visitor center, whose displays offer an overview of the site and Fiji's part in WWII, then make your way to the park's two well-preserved guns. Later, take a guided village tour to see traditional crafts, and enjoy a Fijian kava ceremony—a unique and memorable part of any visit to Fiji.

People Also Ask
Q:What is the history of Momi?
A:

Momi Bay was a key defense point during World War II, and the Momi Bay Battery was built to protect the gap in the surrounding barrier reef that would have allowed enemy ships to slip along the coastline. Today, you can still see remnants of the war at Momi Battery Historical Park.

Q:Is Momi Bay on the Coral Coast?
A:

No, Momi Bay is not on the Coral Coast, which runs from Sigatoka to Suva on Viti Levu’s southern coast. However, Momi Bay is relatively close to the region; it’s 32 miles (52 kilometers) north of Sigatoka. It takes around an hour to drive between the two destinations.

Q:Is there more than one resort in Momi?
A:

No, the luxury Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay is the only hotel in Momi. Those interested in other accommodation—including resorts, budget hotels, and vacation rentals—will find additional options in and around Nadi, which is 19 miles (30 kilometers) north of Momi and takes around 50 minutes to drive.

Q:Is there scuba diving in Momi?
A:

Yes, there is scuba diving in Momi, and local tour operators offer scuba and snorkeling trips to the surrounding barrier reef. Visitors can look for turtles and colorful coral, or watch the big wave surfers taking on the huge breakers at the edge of the reef.

Q:How long should I stay in Momi?
A:

Momi is intended to be a secluded, luxurious experience, so guests tend to stay at least a week. If that’s a bit out of your budget, you can always opt for staying for a couple of days before heading to a more modest hotel along the coast.

Q:How should I dress in Momi?
A:

It’s a beach destination, so feel free to dress casually and comfortably. Protect yourself from the tropical sun with light layers and a large hat. If you’re staying at the Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay, dinner is the time to lean into luxury, as you relax at one of its upscale restaurants.
