Kimaya Fiji Group has secured five World Travel Awards for 2026, with Fiji Hideaway Resort & Spa by Kimaya, Yatule Resort & Spa by Kimaya and Tour Managers Fiji by Kimaya receiving recognition.
The awards were announced at the World Travel Awards ceremony in the Maldives on Sunday.
The Group received four awards in 2025 and now has a total of nine awards over two consecutive years.
Fiji Hideaway Resort & Spa by Kimaya was named Oceania's Leading Family Resort and Fiji's Leading Family Resort.
Yatule Resort & Spa by Kimaya was named Oceania's Leading Beach Resort and Fiji's Leading Resort, while Tour Managers Fiji by Kimaya retained the title of Fiji's Leading Tour Operator.
Chairman and Managing Director Damend Gounder says the awards recognise the efforts of the Group's people and guests.
Gounder says the Group is also investing more than $5 million in a major renovation of Fiji Hideaway Resort & Spa on the Coral Coast, which is expected to begin in the coming months.
He says the renovation reflects the partnership between the Fiji Teachers Union, which owns the resort, and Kimaya, which manages it.
Gounder says the aim is to retain the resort's Fijian family atmosphere while improving the property.
Further details on the scope and timeline of the renovation are expected to be announced shortly.
Meanwhile, Yatule Resort & Spa on Natadola Beach has retained its title as Fiji's Leading Resort while adding the Oceania award.
Tour Managers Fiji has also retained its title as Fiji's Leading Tour Operator and continues its fleet renewal programme, including the recent introduction of its first electric coaches and a Euro 6 luxury coach.
