If you're looking for romance, you'll simply love Fiji. Imagine walking hand-in-hand along the soft white sands of a deserted beach. Fragrant frangipanis permeate the balmy air and the only sounds you can hear are the waves gently breaking on the shore and the songs of tropical birdlife. Whether you're a newlywed or just looking for a romantic escape with special someone, Fiji honeymoons truly are what dreams are made of.
Ticking all the boxes when it comes to indulgence, Denarau boasts luxury international resorts with world-class leisure facilities, day spas and adults-only pools. Only 10km from the international airport in Nadi, you can sip cocktails in the sunshine by the pool, spoil yourself with fine dining or adventure around the islands together on a jet ski.
The Mamanucas are your own island paradise. The closest island group to Denarau and Nadi, it's easy to visit in a day but you're definitely going to want to stay longer. Offering a number of exclusive adults-only resorts, the islands boast pristine deserted beaches to explore and sparkling sapphire seas perfect for swimming and snorkelling.
If you're looking for the 'real' Fiji here's where you'll find it, along with some seriously spectacular scenery. The Coral Coast is studded with cane sugar fields, coral-filled lagoons and the incredible Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park. Experience traditional shops in the main town of Sigatoka and get up close with nature at the only wildlife park in Fiji - Kula Eco Park.
When you just want to relax and get away from it all, you can't beat the Yasawa Islands for tranquillity and seclusion. 2-3 hours by boat from Denarau and Nadi, the Yasawas are famous for their porcelain beaches, statuesque mountain peaks and a handful of exclusive yet laidback resorts that offer a truly romantic atmosphere.
Not everyone's idea of romance involves relaxing, so if the way to your heart is to get your heart pumping than Pacific Harbour is for you. Known as Fiji's adventure capital, adventurous couples can enjoy 4WD tours through the rainforest, wet and wild white water rafting expeditions and the unforgettable Beqa Lagoon shark dive.
