Travel Lemming, a US-based online travel guide read by more than 10 million travelers, announced its list of the top 50 destinations in the world for 2025 where Yasawa Islands, was named the #24 best place to travel globally.
This announcement is part of the publication’s annual list of 50 best places to travel, a project that highlights the world’s best destinations and hidden gems.
The article says that Fiji has managed to do tourism right and the Yasawa Islands are popular among tourists due to their proximity to the mainland, but they never feel crowded or exploited.
They say it invites travelers to “snorkel above vibrant coral reefs, relax on white sand beaches, and stay in surprisingly affordable waterfront bungalows on these tiny and accessible Fijian islands.”
Travel Lemming Senior Travel Writer, Laura McFarland says Fiji was barely on her radar before last year.
McFarland says now, Fiji is all she can talk about.
She says the people are beyond generous, the accommodations are modest and affordable, and the natural landscapes are breathtaking.
