Fiji’s natural beauty makes every island escape unforgettable, from its sun-kissed shores to its vibrant coral reefs. At Tropica Island Resort, we are dedicated to preserving this paradise for generations to come.
Sustainability is woven into everything we do, and as part of our commitment to sustainable tourism in Fiji, we strive to minimise our environmental impact while creating meaningful connections between guests, the land, and local communities.
Here’s how we’re embracing a greener future and how you can be part of sustainable tourism in Fiji during your stay.
Sustainability Practices at Tropica
Eco-Friendly Bure Thatching
Tropica’s rooftops have been thoughtfully rethatched using Palmex Thatching, a durable and sustainable alternative to traditional palm leaves. Designed to withstand the elements while maintaining the timeless island aesthetic, this innovative material reduces the need for frequent re-harvesting and eliminates the use of chemical treatments. By embracing long-lasting, eco-friendly solutions, Tropica continues to honour the island’s natural beauty while ensuring a more sustainable future.
Tapa Botanicals
As part of our commitment to reducing single-use plastics, we use Tapa Botanicals, a natural and biodegradable range of in-bure amenities. Locally made and thoughtfully crafted, these refillable products offer a luxurious experience while being kind to the planet. Every detail, from shampoo to body wash, minimises waste while nourishing your skin with nature’s best ingredients.
Embracing Sustainably
Reef-Safe Sunscreen for a Healthier Ocean
Fiji’s coral reefs are some of the most breathtaking in the world, and protecting them starts with simple choices. We encourage guests to use reef-safe sunscreen, available in our boutique, to help preserve marine ecosystems for future generations.
Sustainable Marine Adventures
From paddleboarding in Lakalaka Bay to snorkelling along the coast, Tropica offers countless ways to experience the beauty of the ocean without disturbing its delicate balance. Our team at Tropica is passionate about protecting the reef and are always happy to share their knowledge about the vibrant marine life and how to keep Fiji’s waters thriving for generations to come.
Choosing sustainable tourism in Fiji means embracing experiences that allow you to enjoy the natural world while ensuring its preservation for future visitors.
Supporting Local Communities & Culture through sustainable tourism in Fiji
Locally Sourced Flavours
Dining at Tropica is more than just a meal but a celebration of Fiji’s rich culinary traditions. We proudly source fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and island-grown vegetables to create dishes that highlight the flavours of the region while supporting small-scale Fijian farmers and fishers.
For a true taste of Fiji, don’t miss the Lovo, a traditional feast cooked underground, infused with rich, smoky flavours, and shared in the spirit of togetherness.
Handcrafted Fijian Souvenirs
Take home a meaningful piece of Fiji while directly supporting local artisans. Tropica proudly offers handcrafted items from Rise Beyond the Reef, a nonprofit that empowers Fijian women through traditional weaving and craftwork. Each purchase helps preserve cultural traditions and provides sustainable livelihoods, ensuring that your souvenir carries a story of impact and connection.
