Designed with flexibility in mind, the centre can be configured to suit both intimate gatherings and large-scale events, meeting the growing demand for modern, high-end venues in the region. Outside, the resort’s beachfront setting overlooking Wailoaloa Beach provides a breathtaking backdrop for open-air functions and sunset receptions.
Complementing the new event facilities, the resort offers nine distinctive dining venues that showcase global flavours and Fijian ingredients, with a tenth opening in 2026. From elegant signature restaurants to relaxed poolside options, guests enjoy an exceptional breadth of culinary choice.
“We’re incredibly proud to celebrate the opening of this addition to the resort,” Crowne Plaza Fiji general manager Sudhir Yadav said. “It’s been a long time coming, but our new convention centre truly sets a new benchmark for MICE venues in the Pacific.
“We’ve already seen strong interest from both local and international markets, with bookings confirmed well into next year. With our extensive dining options, luxurious suites and stunning beachfront location, Crowne Plaza Fiji is poised to become one of the most sought-after event destinations in the region.”
The resort was recently recognised at the 2025 Hotel Management Awards for Hotel and Accommodation Excellence, receiving top honours as Fijian Upscale Resort of the Year.
This refurbishment represents a significant investment in Fiji’s tourism and hospitality landscape, further strengthening the nation’s reputation as a premier destination for both business and leisure travellers.
Honorable Filimoni Vosarogo, Acting Prime Minister and Minister and Minister for Lands and Mineral Resources officiated the resort’s grand opening.
“Today’s redevelopment of this iconic Wailoaloa property is a clear vote of confidence in Fiji’s economy and tourism future,” Hon. Vosarogo said. “It represents resilience, progress, and a renewed commitment to delivering world-class facilities and authentic Fijian experiences.
“Tourism remains a cornerstone of our economy, and Crowne Plaza Fiji has already begun contributing to this growth through employment opportunities. Every investment in tourism strengthens our economy, fuels development, and benefits thousands of Fijians.”
