Suva is a capital of Fiji, and a regional hub for the Pacific where many UN agencies, embassies and international organizations are located. The city is of relatively small size and easy to get around by taxis. Fiji weather is distinctly tropical and can get hot in the summer but seldom reaches above 35°C (96°F). Trade winds from the east southeast bring cooling breezes late afternoon and early evening. There is considerable rain in Suva.

One to two-bedroom apartments and houses are available in the city centre with hot water and electricity, and many come partially or fully furnished. While most of goods and food items are easily available, the price of imported items can be expensive including home appliances. There is one international school that caters to expatriate children as well as several options for early childhood education institutions. There is reliable, basic health care. However, for surgeries and medical complications, many people choose go to Australia and New Zealand as the closest destination.

The city of Suva is generally safe and secure, as long as precautions are exercised.

Spouses of UN international staff members are not allowed to work.
