All you need to know about the nightlife in Fiji

Nightclubs are a big part of the night scene in Fiji, especially in town and urban centres, the Fijian tropical summer nights come alive with food, music, party and most importantly people — the factor that creates life to all of these. Small businesses convene at night from a specific time to sell delicious hot food to nightclub patrons. The vibrancy of night life is a different scene to that of Fiji’s daytime, the shops, restaurants and other essential shops close, but taverns and clubs open for a late night get-togethers.

However, in the night time, the juiciest of meat whether bacon, chicken or beef, are brought out in abundance and scrumptiously sandwiched together for patrons to enjoy. Because meat contains protein and vitamins that help give and sustain energy, these subway sandwiches are fully packed with meat and flavoured with some of the best sauces you’ll ever taste. You will find these subway sandwiches in Suva, Nadi and other urban centres that have a constant vibrant nightlife.

For Suva, nightclubs are mostly clustered along Victoria parade, MacArthur and Carnarvon street. Night time will definitely come to life from the midnight to the early hours of the morning, resulting in a youthfulness that is usually not seen in the daytime.

In Nadi, the night scene isn’t only centred around the town area but spread out along the Queens road highway. The places to unwind after a long day of adventure are in town and along the Martintar and Namaka area.
