THE beauty of Fiji is not only found along its beaches. Tucked away at the foot of the Sabeto Range is a garden filled with bright orchids, tropical plants and peaceful walking paths. The Gardens of the Sleeping Giant invites visitors to step away from the busy pace of everyday life and enjoy a quieter side of Fiji, surrounded by nature.
Nestled at the foot of the Sabeto Range near Nadi, the Gardens of the Sleeping Giant is a 20-hectare botanical paradise originally curated by Hollywood actor Raymond Burr. Showcasing over a thousand varieties of orchids over the course of a year, including native flora, the gardens invite you to explore lush jungle walkways, tranquil lily ponds and immersive feature gardens. A cool, shaded retreat just 25 minutes drive from Denarau, it’s the perfect half-day escape into nature’s beauty.
