Map of Fiji

Fiji is located in Oceania. Its territory lies in the southern and eastern hemispheres, centred near 17.7° S, 178.1° E. It is an island nation and shares no land borders with any other country, so every approach to it is made by sea or by air. Within Oceania, a continent of 14 countries bordered by the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Southern Ocean, Fiji is mapped here in full with its borders, capital and key facts.

Fiji is an island state with no land borders. The nearest countries are reached across open water rather than over a shared frontier.

Fiji covers about 18,272 km² (7,055 sq mi). That makes it the 152nd-largest country in the world by area and the 5th-largest in Oceania, larger by area than 9 of the continent’s 14 countries.

It is home to a population of roughly 900,869, the 161st-largest in the world and the 4th-largest in Oceania, accounting for about 1.9% of the continent’s people.

Fiji keeps a single standard time zone, UTC+12:00. That figure is the country’s offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the modern reference that for everyday purposes matches Greenwich Mean Time, so local clocks sit +12:00 relative to UTC before any seasonal daylight saving change.

The official currency is the Fijian dollar (FJD, $).

The official languages are English, Fijian and Fiji Hindi, which is what appears on signs, documents and many of the place labels you will see on the map.
