Accommodation and Tours for Sabeto/Tifajek Mud Pools

Swimming Hole Heaven in Fiji

Where is the closest accommodation to the Sabeto/Tifajek Mud Pools and Hot Springs? Here are my nearby homestay and hotel suggestions and their distance to this swim. All distances below are by road to these two mud pools and hot springs, which are located next door to one another. I have also included information on local tours to the mud pool and hot springs from Nadi. Above: The hot spring source that fills the hot spring pools (Order this image) There is no accommodation at either the Sabeto or Tifajek mud pools and hot springs, which are in a rural area approximately 4 km off the main highway. However, the good news is that the mud pools and hot springs are only 9 km by road from Nadi International Airport. The area around the airport offers the closest, wide-ranging hotel accommodation options to the mud pools and hot springs that I could find. Here are three with higher rankings from guests and their distance from the mud pools and hot springs.

However, I was quite discouraged by the lack of transparency around these homestays, with sometimes only a single photo, and very few if any customer reviews. One homestay claimed in its listing that it was within walking distance to the hot springs and mud pools, and to the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, and to the Sleeping Giant Zip Line, despite these being 6 km apart as the crow flies and the zip line only being accessible from the other side of the river with no river crossings further downstream until you get back to the highway.

On this basis, I found it hard to confidently recommend a homestay accommodation close to the hot springs and mud pools. I will revisit this at a later date, when hopefully a few more travellers will have tested some of these homestays out as we get used to travelling again in the post-covid era. There is no camping at the hot springs and mud pools. Similar to the homestays, I struggled to find camping accommodation close to the mud pools and hot springs, so am not recommending any at the current time. If you are staying in Nadi, there are local tours available to the hot spring and mud pools that usually also take in the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, which is along the road to the hot spring. The garden is quite lush and well manicured, with lawns, plenty of palms, tropical flowers, a boardwalk up the hill, and a refreshing drink provided on my visit on return to the hill-station style building at the entrance. Click to see and book a local tour to the hot springs, with pickup typically from your accommodation in Nadi.

I hope you enjoy your stay here.
