We are thrilled to share more wonderful news.
EXPLORE Fiji® has been named: Best Destination Storytelling & Digital Tourism Media Platform 2026 – Fiji in the LUXlife Hospitality Awards 2026.
The full award listing can be viewed at https://lux-life.digital/winners/explore-fiji-2/
This is our second LUXlife award this year, following our earlier honour in March as Best Digital Tourism Storytelling Platform 2026 – Fiji in the Travel & Tourism Awards.
Two different award categories. One shared acknowledgement of more than 23 years of work telling Fiji’s stories and connecting people with the destination.
Since 2003, EXPLORE Fiji has continued to evolve, from a popular print tourism magazine to a fully digital destination storytelling and discovery platform.
Today, we help travellers look beyond the familiar and discover the people, places, businesses, experiences and creative life that give Fiji its character.
That is also why this Hospitality Award is meaningful to us. Hospitality is not only about where visitors stay; increasingly, it is about what they experience, who they meet and the stories they take home from our islands.
Connie Chew, Founder and Publisher of EXPLORE Fiji, said:
“We are genuinely proud to receive a second LUXlife award this year, particularly because this recognition comes through the Hospitality Awards. It reinforces the important role destination storytelling and digital media can play in Fiji’s wider hospitality and tourism landscape.
Our purpose has always been to help people discover more of authentic Fiji, our people, businesses, culture, creativity and experiences. That remains at the heart of everything we do.
This award reflects 23 years of storytelling, from print to digital, and it belongs to everyone who has helped us along the way.”
LUXlife Magazine, based in the UK, has been recognising premium brands across the globe since 2015. The publication describes its awards as a way of honouring leaders and pioneers who make visionary contributions and raise standards within their industries.
We thank LUXlife for shining an international spotlight on the diverse businesses and people contributing to Fiji’s hospitality and tourism story.
We also extend our congratulations to Likuri Island Resort and Whitetip Marine Adventures on their well-deserved honours in the 2026 Hospitality Awards.
Their wins add to the international profile of Fiji’s hospitality and tourism industry.
Vinaka vakalevu to our partners, advertisers and supporters, and to the wider community of businesses, creatives, cultural voices and people who continue to support EXPLORE Fiji and share the many stories of Fiji with the world.
