In 2016, 10 million Australians arrived back into the country after short-term trips away, according to Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). 

Fiji consistently makes the top 10 list for most frequented vacation destinations for Australians, reports the ABS. Discover how family holidays in Fiji are more than just a time for fun in the sun – a trip to the Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort could also be good for your health!

Get your daily dose of vitamin D

With average temperatures of around 25 degrees Celsius, it's no lie that the Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort on the island of Vanua Levu welcomes a lot of sun. Whether relaxing or playing games on the beach – even for as little as 15 minutes – you can gain a significant amount of your daily vitamin D intake from the sun. Vitamin D helps to regulate immune systems, as well as lowering blood pressure and the risk of heart attacks.

Remember, any time spent in the sun should be spent wearing sunscreen and protective clothing such as hats and sunglasses.

Enjoy the many benefits of taking a beach holiday!

Book in for spa treatments on the beach

Indulge in spa treatments in and out of our 5 star Fiji resort and discover how the beach can help to transform your body.

Wet sand: Enjoy softer feet when walking across the wet sand. The tiny grains act as a natural exfoliant, removing dead skin cells for noticeably smoother results.

Salt water: Did you know that the salt water from the clean and clear sea next to the Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort has many health benefits? It can work to remove impurities and close pores, balance the skin's oil production and heal scrapes and cuts. 

Unplug and unwind

Spending a 5 star family holiday in Fiji comes with many wonderful benefits such as fantastic food, action-packed adventure and breathtaking beaches, with happiness being at the top of the list. A recent Roy Morgan study found that 79.4 per cent of Australians planning a holiday in the next 12 months had a more positive outlook on life than the 67 per cent of those who don't. 

Where better to unplug and relax than the pristine shores of Savusavu? Take the time to soak in the sun, snorkel and swim in the clear waters or enjoy the company of your family in beautiful conditions. Want the beach all to yourself? Hire the Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort's very own private island!
