Accommodations

Nadi Hotel

Located on the main island of Viti Levu, our beach side hotel is a perfect place for orientation and introductory activities. Lodging is hotel style with students sleeping in rooms in groups of 3-4. Hot water, pool, and access to the beach are included amenities.

Homestay

Homestays are with local families in a small village, where every home is within a 5 minute walk. Students will stay 2-3 per home with a private room that is shared between the participants. Homes are humble and families are incredibly welcoming. Meals are prepared by locals and eaten together as a group in the local community center. Global Works has longstanding relationships with the communities where we stay and complete our service projects.

Beach Ecolodge

We stay in a local eco-hotel. Students will stay in rooms that house 2-6 participants. Meals and activities are provided at the lodge. We are walking distance from the beach and have the perfect set up for group activities and trip reflection.

Being in the Fijian village was something truly remarkable and I am so glad to have been apart of this life changing experience.

I loved the fact that the trip included both service and cultural exploration, coupled with the fact that we didn’t have our devices made it truly magical. I was fully able to absorb everything around me and learn the lifestyle of real Fijian villagers.

I will take what I learned with me on this trip to my everyday life and use the life lessons I learned to better myself as a person as well as my community.
