On Vanua Levu island, the Savusavu hot springs bubble up near the waterfront at 40°C, carrying bicarbonate and sodium-chloride water. Surrounded by tropical forest, they sit alongside pools built by local hotels, in a region known for diving and sailing.
Insider tip — In Savusavu on Fiji's Vanua Levu island, hot springs bubble right up through the town — locals still cook taro and eggs in them, a living tradition worth watching. The small bathing pools offer a genuinely local tropical hot-spring experience far removed from resort-island Fiji. The water runs very hot, so ease in carefully and enjoy the atmosphere.
