Is Fiji a good place to live?

Fiji works well for retirees, remote workers, and lifestyle migrants who prioritise warm weather, low cost relative to Australasia, and an English-speaking environment. The CostLiving moderate benchmark is $1,425 a month per person, well below New Zealand ($3,175) and Australia ($3,125). The trade-offs are real: imported-goods prices run 30 to 60 percent above Australasian levels, internet connectivity outside the main centres is patchy, specialist healthcare requires evacuation to Australia or New Zealand for serious cases, and the property market has restrictions for foreign buyers. Suva offers urban convenience; Nadi suits resort and beach lifestyles; the outer islands are cheaper but logistically demanding for daily life. For the full picture, see our Fiji cost of living page.
