Lami is a scenic coastal town situated just outside Suva, the capital city of Fiji. Often referred to as the 'Garden City', Lami is characterized by its lush tropical vegetation and striking views over the beautiful Bay of Islands. The town provides a peaceful alternative to the busy capital, serving as a pleasant area that beautifully blends coastal serenity with local Fijian culture. Outdoor activities are major drawcards for the area. A popular local adventure is the hike up Mount Korobaba. The trail rewards hikers with spectacular panoramic views across the Suva peninsula and the reef beyond. The town's coastline features small marinas and access to the tranquil waters of the bay, good for kayaking, sailing, and exploring the pretty offshore islets. Lami holds historical significance, being home to the World War II Bilo Battery site which guarded the passage into the harbor. Visitors can explore local markets offering fresh tropical fruits and seafood. Located on the Queens Road, Lami acts as the eastern gateway to the famous Coral Coast, making it easily accessible for travelers journeying between the capital and the western resort areas.
