And if you're after a holiday and a 'break' then Fiji could be the answer. Just a short flight from the east coast of Australia, Fiji is made up of over 330 islands each providing a unique experience for every type of traveller.
Here are some of the best.
Monuriki Island
Monuriki island is a small, uninhabited island situated off the coast of Viti Levu within the Mamanua group of Islands - 45 min speedboat ride from Nadi.
This of course makes it unspoilt and untouched. But it does offers a great swimming and snorkelling spot.
It was also where the movie Castaway was filmed, starring Tom Hanks.
The beaches of Fulaga
Fulaga is a horse-shoe shaped island in the Southern Lau group of Fiji's untouched waters. Throughout the lagoon, there are several white-sand beaches, with every one just as pristine as the other, with the island known for its crystal clear waters.
Blue Lagoon
Located in the beautiful Yasawa Islands, Blue Lagoon is a white sandy beach surrounded by lush vegetation and azure waters.
Due to its remote location, it is often referred to as an untouched beauty and is often rated as one of the best beaches in the world, with sand and water quality ranking very highly.
Horseshoe Bay
Situated on the untouched western coast of Matangi Island it is only accessible by boat and provides a perfect semicircle of powder-white sand around aquamarine water.
You'll find wild green jungle on one side with blue water on the other, plus incredible sunsets too.
It's also been named one of the top 1000 places to see the world.
Malamala Beach
Malamala Beach is the world's first island beach club. Surrounded by Fiji's crystal clear waters, it's just 30 minutes from Port Denarau.
With beach-side cabanas and a resort-style infinity edge pool, this beach club provides the best of both worlds. Plus the azure blue waters, white sand and coral reefs can easily be enjoyed during a day trip.
Beqa Island
Beqa Island is a 45 min boat ride from Pacific Harbour in Viti Levu. It lures adventurous travellers with its world-class diving as it is surrounded by an extensive barrier reef and is one of the most isolated and idyllic of the Fijian Islands.
