InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa Launches New Dining Experience for Meetings and Conferences in Fiji

13th January 2025 (Natadola, Fiji): InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa, named Fiji’s Best MICE Hotel 2024 at the World Travel Awards, has launched a new Dining experience called the Vanua Immersion Dinner— a cultural dining experience created for groups and events.

Set against the backdrop of Natadola Bay, this experience highlights the Fijian concept of Vanua—the deep connection between people, land, and community. The Vanua Immersion Dinner is ideal for large groups, Incentives, or as part of a Conference programme and offers delegates an opportunity to connect with Fijian culture in a memorable way.

What’s included:

  • Fijian-inspired buffet dinner – A spread of local dishes featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients and traditional cooking styles.
  • Torch-lighting ceremony – The evening begins with the lighting of torches, a gesture of welcome and a symbol of togetherness.
  • Kava ceremony – Guests take part in this traditional ceremony, where kava—a drink made from yaqona root—is shared as a sign of respect and connection.
  • Art and craft demonstrations – Watch renown local artisans as they weave mats, and produce tapa cloth using techniques passed down through generations.
  • Meke dance performance – Dancers in traditional dress perform, sharing Fijian stories through movement and song.
  • Fire show – Skilled performers showcase an impressive fire display, rounding off the evening with energy and excitement.
  • Outdoor lighting, setup, and venue hire – A fully prepared outdoor setting provides a relaxed and natural backdrop for the event.

“The Vanua Immersion Dinner offers something totally unique for groups & meeting delegates visiting Fiji. It’s a chance for attendees to be immersed in Fijian culture, and enjoy an evening of connection and storytelling,” commented Lachlan Walker, Portfolio General Manager – IHG Hotels & Resorts, FNPF-Owned Hotels. “Every Vanua Immersion Dinner will be an Incredible Occasion, memorable experiences that every InterContinental around the world is known for”.

Available year-round for groups of 70 people or more, the experience is inclusive of food, entertainment, arts & crafts demonstrations, setup and lighting.
