Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Suva right now.
The bulk of Suva's stores are squeezed into a section of narrow, angling streets south of the river and heading east from Scott Street. These include an urban array of clothing and jewelry stores, shoe shops, and cafés. The brand-new Morris Hedstrom City Complex is the country's first full-scale mall and likely an indication of things to come. The homey Handicraft Center and lively Suva Municipal Market remain Fiji institutions.
Across the street from scenic Suva Harbour, everything at this market is made in the Lau Group of islands, making this one of the mainland's most authentic and least-expensive places to souvenir-shop. It's just a shame that the alleylike section of stalls is caged in. It's just as well, because the eager sellers want your full attention on the selection of handicrafts, carvings, and jewelry at each of the 71 stalls.
This Fiji has high-end traditional handicrafts and other souvenirs, it sells perfume, jewelry, watches, clothing and other duty free-style goods.
Often referred to as "The Meeting Point," the MHCC is a typical shopping mall with big name stores like Jack's of Fiji and Prouds, as well as smaller local outlets. There's also a food court, with a wide variety of cuisines, a bakery, and a Gloria Jean's coffee shop.
