Loloma Hour
At Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa, we are proud to support Loloma Hour—a nationwide initiative encouraging visitors to take part in meaningful sustainability experiences during their stay. Inspired by the Fijian word loloma, meaning love, compassion, and generosity, this program invites guests to connect more deeply with Fiji’s culture, people, and environment.
As part of Loloma Hour, we offer opportunities to engage in authentic, hands-on activities that promote environmental and cultural preservation. These activities include:
Kokoda Making: Learn how to prepare Fiji’s iconic dish made with fresh raw fish marinated in citrus, coconut milk, and local ingredients—a delicious and refreshing taste of island tradition.
Weaving: Discover the art of Fijian weaving as you craft ornaments like hats, baskets, and home décor using coconut leaves—skills passed down through generations.
Traditional Kava Ceremony: Take part in this centuries-old ritual of welcome and connection, where guests are invited to taste kava, a traditional drink made from the root of the yaqona plant.
Little Warrior Experience: Young guests can join in the fun by dressing in traditional Fijian warrior attire and helping our warriors light the resort torches at sunset—a magical moment to remember.
It’s a small time commitment that creates lasting memories—and a real impact.
