InterContinental Fiji Wins Fiji’s Best Golf Hotel Title

Sunday, 08 November 2026 (Natadola, Fiji): InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa has been named Fiji's Best Golf Hotel 2026 at the World Golf Awards, securing the prestigious title for the ninth time and extending its record with a seventh consecutive victory.

The recognition further strengthens the resort's position as Fiji's leading golf tourism destination and highlights the success of its integrated management of both the luxury beachfront resort and the Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course.

The latest accolade strengthens InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa's standing as one of the South Pacific's premier golf destinations. Set along Fiji's Coral Coast, the resort is home to the Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course, a world-class championship layout renowned for its dramatic coastal setting overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

The continued success of Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course has also been driven by the leadership of Rajiv Prasad, Director of Golf Operations. Since joining the course 18 months ago, Rajiv has leveraged his extensive international golf experience, including involvement with major championships and the Olympic Games, to elevate operational standards, enhance the guest experience, and strengthen the course's reputation as one of the South Pacific's premier golfing destinations. His focus on service excellence, course presentation and player engagement has played an important role in delivering the world-class golfing experience recognised by this latest award.

“To receive Fiji's Best Golf Hotel title for the ninth time, and for the seventh consecutive year, is a remarkable achievement and one that reflects the dedication of our entire team. As managers of both InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa and the Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course, IHG Hotels & Resorts is proud to deliver an integrated golf and resort experience that continues to set the benchmark in the South Pacific." commented Lachlan Walker, Regional General Manager, Fiji and Pacific.

The award comes during a milestone year for the resort's golf business. To support growing global interest in golf travel to Fiji, InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa recently launched a dedicated golf website, www.natadolabay.com, providing golfers, travel planners and event organisers with a one-stop platform for golf holidays, stay-and-play packages, tournaments and course information.

The resort has also unveiled a new destination golf video showcasing the unique Natadola Bay golfing experience to international audiences. The initiative forms part of broader efforts to elevate Fiji's profile within the global golf tourism market and attract high-value visitors seeking world-class sporting experiences in a tropical destination.

Over the past decade, Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course has become a cornerstone of Fiji's golf experience, welcoming local golfers, international visitors and corporate groups. The continued recognition from the World Golf Awards reflects the strength of the destination, the quality of the golfing experience and the commitment of the resort team to maintaining exceptional standards.
