The Pacific resort’s multi-million-dollar ballroom and conference centre will span 16,576 square metres, making it the largest of its kind in Fiji.

The centre will feature six versatile function spaces capable of hosting events such as corporate conferences, product launches and weddings.

The resort’s outdoor space overlooking Wailoaloa Beach will also cater for corporate events and team-building initiatives.

“We’re excited to reveal this significant addition to Crowne Plaza Fiji,” says the resort’s general manager, Shaun Parsons.

“It’s been a long time coming, but our new ballroom and event space sets a new standard for MICE venues in the Pacific – the wait has been worth it.

“We’ve already received a lot of interest from international businesses that are looking for offsite events and conference spaces for their large teams.

“There are very few places that can accommodate large-scale events such as these.

“When you add in 10 restaurants and bars, and direct-pool-access suites, you can see why there’s a lot of excitement.”

Crowne Plaza Fiji is also set to open Urban Sugar beach club, which will give guests a space to unwind and enjoy entertainment.

“This is not just an investment in Crowne Plaza Fiji – it’s an investment in the future of Fiji as a destination for business and events,” says Parsons.

“We are proud to offer a venue that combines local hospitality with the best in global standards.

“This project reaffirms our commitment to supporting Fiji’s economy and strengthening its position on the global MICE map.”
