Suva Fiji Temple, Modern religious temple in Samabula, Fiji
The Suva Fiji Temple is a modern house of worship in Samabula featuring a gleaming white granite exterior sourced from Italy and standing about 71 feet tall. The property includes grounds spanning roughly 4.7 acres with areas designed for worship and religious ceremonies.
Construction of the temple began with a groundbreaking ceremony on May 8, 1999, followed by its dedication on June 18, 2000. The completion marked an important milestone for the religious community across the Pacific region.
The temple serves worshippers from several Pacific regions, including Fiji, Kiribati, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia, who gather here for religious services and spiritual ceremonies. The community uses this space as a center for important life events and faith practices.
The temple is located on Lakeba Street in Samabula and welcomes visitors interested in attending religious services. It is helpful to check ahead about service times, as these may vary depending on the season and religious calendar.
During its 2016 rededication, Tropical Cyclone Winston forced closures and required changes to planned ceremonies due to mandatory weather-related restrictions. This storm became part of the temple's story, showing how nature can impact even the most important spiritual events.
