The InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort and Spa secured Fiji’s Best Golf Hotel title for the ninth time at the 2026 World Golf Awards, extending its winning streak to seven consecutive years.

The announcement was made in Natadola yesterday, further strengthening the resort’s standing as one of Fiji’s recognised golf tourism destinations.

The award recognised the resort’s combined luxury accommodation and golfing experience, centred around the Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course, which overlooks the Pacific Ocean along the Coral Coast.

The golf course’s continued development was also supported by Director of Golf Operations Rajiv Prasad, who joined the resort 18 months ago. With international experience that included involvement in major golf championships and the Olympic Games, Mr Prasad focused on improving operational standards, course presentation and player engagement.

Regional General Manager for Fiji and the Pacific, Lachlan Walker, said receiving the award for the ninth time, including seven consecutive years, reflected the dedication and commitment of the entire resort team.

He said the resort remained committed to delivering an integrated golf and resort experience while strengthening Fiji’s reputation as a leading golf destination in the South Pacific.

The recognition came during a milestone year for the resort’s golf operations, following the launch of a dedicated golf website designed to attract more international golfers, travel planners and event organisers to Fiji.

The resort also introduced a new destination golf offering to further promote Natadola Bay and attract international visitors to experience golf in Fiji.
