InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa will roll out a limited-edition Sweet Dreams Package on World Sleep Day, March 13, offering complimentary sleep aids aimed at tackling one of the most common — and least discussed — holiday disruptors: snoring. The FNPF-owned resort says the sleep-focused initiative was developed in response to research commissioned for its World Sleep Day campaign that highlighted how widely the problem affects travellers, particularly Australians.
The resort’s research, cited by management, found 85 percent of Australians reported that they or their partner snored while on holiday, with 58 percent saying snoring had negatively affected their trip. More than three in 10 respondents (31 percent) said a partner’s snoring regularly woke them while travelling, contributing to fatigue, irritability and diminished enjoyment of their break. The survey also flagged that 35 percent of Australians avoid discussing snoring, instead resorting to stopgap measures such as earplugs or separate beds.
“Great holidays start with great sleep,” Lachlan Walker, general manager of InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa, said, underlining the resort’s motivation for the package. Walker noted that 97 percent of Australians believe sleep quality matters while on holiday and that poor sleep has emerged as the second biggest travel stressor, making targeted support for restful nights a tourism priority. “The Sweet Dreams Package allows us to remove the awkwardness around snoring and offer something genuinely thoughtful, so guests can rest better, reconnect and make the most of their time in Fiji,” he said.
The complimentary Sweet Dreams experience includes a sleep kit assembled in partnership with Australian start-up The Goodnight Co. and sleep specialist brand zzzZone. The kit features practical items intended to ease common sleep disruptions: eye masks, nasal strips, mouth tape, magnesium oil and a “deep sleep” essential oil blend. The resort described the package as a non-judgmental toolkit for couples and families sharing rooms, designed to make it easier to talk about and manage snoring without awkwardness.
Shea Morrison, founder of The Goodnight Co., said the package responds to how travel itself can undermine sleep. “Changes in routine, unfamiliar environments and sharing a room can all disrupt sleep, especially when snoring is involved,” Morrison said, adding that the Sweet Dreams Package aims to support better rest so guests wake feeling refreshed and ready to enjoy their holiday.
The resort has positioned the launch as both a guest service and a part of its World Sleep Day outreach; availability is being described as limited edition and complimentary, though the resort has not specified how many kits will be distributed or whether the package will be included with specific room bookings. InterContinental Fiji’s initiative highlights a growing focus in hospitality on addressing the practical wellbeing needs of guests as part of the holiday experience.
