Many people feel curious about solo travel abroad, yet hesitate because of worries like
Even as a blogger who shares travel and lifestyle stories both in Japan and overseas under @owncolorstravel
That’s exactly why I chose Fiji this time—a destination known for its calm atmosphere and sense of safety—as a beach resort where solo travelers can truly relax.
The place I visited was Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay , a beach resort famous for its overwater bungalows.
Traveling alone allows you to move at your own pace, to feel safe, quiet, and fully present in the moment.
In this article, I’d like to share a gentle and peaceful moment in Fiji—especially for those who feel unsure about traveling solo abroad, yet long for healing and calm.

Location of Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay
Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay is located on the west coast of Viti Levu , Fiji’s largest island.50-minute drive from Nadi International Airport .
Far from the lively streets of Nadi Town, the resort sits beside a quiet lagoon—an ideal location for travelers who value tranquility and time spent within the resort itself.
I rented a car and drove there on my own.
You’ll often encounter cows crossing the road during the drive—very much a Fiji experience. Visiting for Lunch or Tea (Without Staying Overnight)
When you arrive at Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay, you’ll first pass through a security gate with staff on duty.
Saying things like: “I’m here for lunch,” or “I came for tea,”
and letting them know which restaurant or café you plan to use makes the process smooth.
If possible, making a reservation in advance is highly recommended .
That said, I made a slightly reckless decision this time.
As expected, the security staff asked several questions—though they were extremely friendly.
Thankfully, I was allowed in, but this experience reminded me that when visiting high-end resorts overseas, having a reservation and clearly stating your purpose is always the safest option .
The view from the hotel lobby is incredibly open and expansive, instantly giving you a sense of how vast the property is.
The Special View of Overwater Bungalows
What struck me immediately was the sense of openness and space throughout Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay.
Even with a short visit, the resort felt exciting and special.
Momi Bay is best known for its overwater bungalows .this is the only resort on Viti Levu with overwater bungalows .
Although the sky was mostly cloudy that day, the calm lagoon lined with bungalows looked like a postcard.
Tea Time at "Lagoon Lounge"
Fiji Marriott Momi Bay： Lagoon House & Bar Spending time by the water, slowly enjoying a drink—this was one of the highlights of my visit.
At Lagoon House & Bar , you can enjoy views of Momi Bay and the overwater bungalows from the outdoor terrace.
I ordered a virgin passion fruit mojito .
In addition to drinks, they also offer light meals such as pasta and pizza.
Can You Enjoy the Resort Without Staying Overnight?
For travelers who want to experience a luxury resort during their Fiji trip without staying overnight, a short visit like this is a great option.

For those considering a stay, the resort offers 22 adults-only overwater bungalows , as well as oceanfront bure accommodations.
