The Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay has been one of the nation’s most popular properties since it debuted in 2017, thanks to its signature overwater bungalows, fantastic restaurants and wonderful hospitality. To find out what makes the property so unique and popular, James Wilkinson caught up with Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay General Manager, Silvano Dressino.
Silvano, the Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay is popular on so many levels, from the location to the pools, beach, design, rooms, and food and beverage on offer. Tell us about your favourite things about the property.
One of my favourite aspects of Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay is how beautifully the resort captures the essence of Fijian culture while maintaining a modern, sophisticated aesthetic.
From the overwater villas to our lagoon-style pools, every detail is designed to harmonise with the natural surroundings. But what truly stands out is the warmth and genuine hospitality of our associates.
They bring the heart and soul of the resort to life, creating memorable, personalised experiences that leave a lasting impression on our guests.
Tell us about the stylish rooms and suites on offer, headlined by the overwater villas.
Our rooms and suites are thoughtfully designed to immerse guests in comfort and a premium stay. The overwater villas are a signature highlight, offering direct access to the lagoon, complete with uninterrupted views of the turquoise waters.
These villas are incredibly popular with guests seeking a private, peaceful retreat, ideal choice for honeymooners or those looking for an extra-special bucket-list getaway. Across all room categories, the design embraces Fijian craftsmanship, with local wood and textiles used to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Each space offers a seamless blend of modern amenities with traditional charm, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings.
Silvano, tell us about the fantastic food and beverage on offer, which is some of the best in Fiji.
Our food and beverage offerings are a true reflection of the diverse and vibrant Fijian culture, complemented by international influences.
From Fish Bar’s fresh, locally sourced seafood with a sunset backdrop to Goji Kitchen’s fusion of Indo-Fijian and Asian cuisine, we take pride in delivering authentic, high-quality dining experiences.
We also have a strong commitment to sustainability, sourcing ingredients locally wherever possible, including from our very own Lomalagi Garden. Our menus are thoughtfully crafted to not only please the palate but also showcase the rich flavours of the Pacific.
Whether it’s casual beachfront dining or a special occasion meal, our culinary team creates memorable experiences.

Our X-factor is the balance between our world-class facilities and the warmth of the Fijian people.
The property’s setting, with its iconic overwater villas, pristine beaches, and serene lagoon, is undoubtedly striking. However, what truly sets us apart is the genuine care and hospitality of our associates.
Guests frequently mention how they feel like part of the family during their stay, and that personal touch is something we pride ourselves on.
This heartfelt connection, combined with the natural beauty and premium experiences we offer, makes every stay special.
