Tifajek Mud Pool and Hot Spring

Tifajek Mud Pool and Hot Spring sits in the Sabeto Valley on Viti Levu, Fiji's main island, roughly 9 km from Nadi International Airport between Nadi and Lautoka. The naturally heated geothermal water once posed problems for the local area — its continuous flow damaged crops and hindered construction — before being put to therapeutic use, reportedly starting when US soldiers stationed nearby during World War II created a seating area to relax by the springs. Today the site is a managed, paid attraction offering natural mud wraps and hot-spring soaking pools, along with changing rooms and showers, and sits directly adjacent to the better-known Sabeto Hot Springs site. It markets itself as a genuine natural geothermal experience rooted in local Fijian culture.
