Where To Stay In Fiji
Kokomo Private Island Fiji
The best way to describe Kokomo is with a timeless question: if you had to be stuck on an island, let it be this one!
The entire experience of staying at Kokomo Private Island — from the bespoke welcome song upon check-in to the private seaplane flight back to the airport at check-out — is nothing short of amazing.
This breathtaking resort is one of the most popular honeymoon resorts in Fiji thanks to its seclusion, distinctive services, and an overall atmosphere of relaxation and indulgence.
Stays are complemented with exquisite dining options: the main restaurant, the Beach Shack, features farm-to-table Fijian dishes, along with three-course menus and more than 3,000 wines on selection. For something a little more casual, Walker D’Plank delivers delectable Asian street food, while the bartenders at Poolside Cabana make some of the best Pacific-inspired cocktails.
Outside of the restaurant, the resort offers 24/7 room service — perfect for those 3 am avocado toast cravings!
Six Senses Fiji
Six Senses hotels are known for their unique offerings and exceptional service, and the Six Senses Fiji is no different!
Best of all, the facilities and services allow guests to be as active or relaxed as they wish. Adventurous couples can take advantage of the island’s legendary surf breaks and hang ten or reconnect with the island’s locals during a half-day tour.
For something a little more laidback, couples are invited to experience bliss at the spa and wellness center, which is cradled within a lush jungle and offers a calming auditory experience that is sure to pamper.
One of the most popular experiences at the resort is the whimsical Cinema Under the Stars, where the resort puts together a private screening of a classic movie — complete with homemade ice cream! — under the Fijian night sky.
As with other Six Senses properties, the resort has a dedicated GEM (Guest Experience Marker) to help guests get settled and arrange treatments, dining reservations, and more.
Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort Fiji
Named after the famed explorer and oceanographer, the Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort is an island paradise in every sense of the word. Thanks to its outstanding hospitality, it even won the World Travel Awards’ Best Resort in Fiji!
Every inch of this resort was influenced by the local Fijian culture, from the thatched roofs to the authentic bure architecture, private waterfalls, and verdant gardens with indigenous plants.
Couples can take advantage of the resort’s romantic amenities, such as the adults-only oceanfront pool, an exquisite open-air restaurant (complete with serenade-worthy live music during dinner!), and pristine sandy beaches. For a memorable honeymoon, add on a picnic on the resort’s private island.
With a focus on rejuvenation and adventure, the Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort is truly like your own little slice of paradise!
Nanuku Resort Fiji
Nestled in a secret enclave on Fiji’s southern shores, the Nanuku Resort was created for couples who want to spend a relaxing honeymoon in a gorgeous setting.
The resort is made up of only 37 villas and suites, including the 13 newly-unveiled one- and two-bedroom luxury villas set along the resort’s sandy beach. Guests can lounge around their tastefully decorated accommodations or venture out to the Club House, the resort’s main area that holds an open-air restaurant, spa center, and infinity pool.
Similar to other luxury resorts in places like the Maldives and Bora Bora, each couple is assigned a gregarious personal butler that is happy to arrange activities, restaurant reservations, and any other special requests.
Thanks to Nanuku’s personalized approach and impeccable service, guests are sure to feel welcome and pampered during their entire stay.
Likuliku Lagoon Resort – Adults Only
While it’s no secret that Fiji is made up of 300-some islands, there are only a few select insiders who know about the enchanting Likuliku Lagoon resort. The resort is exclusively for couples only and offers the seclusion and privacy needed for a perfect honeymoon.
Likuliku has 45 traditionally-designed bures: 35 along the beachfront with direct access to the lagoon and beach and 10 spacious overwater villas. In fact, LikuLiku Lagoon is the only resort in Fiji that has overwater bures!
Another interesting tidbit is that Likuliku means calming waters in Fijian, and couples are sure to find their zen at the resort’s spa. The Tatadra Spa invites couples to experience the pampering rituals and native techniques of the Fiji islands, like the indulgent island hand wrap, hydrating coconut milk bath, and a revitalizing twilight massage.
Things To Do In Fiji
See the Heart-Shaped Island
What better way to surprise your sweetheart than by showing them your love — literally!
One of Fiji’s most unique natural wonders is an adorable heart-shaped island located just a few minutes from the capital mainland. The best way to see this hidden gem is to take a seaplane ride, which is guaranteed to be a highlight of your honeymoon!
The island, which is officially named Tavarua, is home to a 29-acre resort and is one of Fiji’s premier surfing destinations as well.
Immerse Yourself in the Local Culture
One of the best parts of traveling is experiencing local customs… and as far as traditions go, Fiji has many!
Perhaps the most popular (and most important) is the kava ceremony, where Fijian families and village members come together to make kava, a drink made from crushed roots, from a bilo (halved coconut shell). Many resorts and hotels around Fiji offer weekly kava ceremonies, which is an excellent introduction to the country’s culture.
Another well-known ceremony is Fijian firewalking, where the men of the village walk barefoot across hot stones. Locals believe that firewalkers have special abilities that were given to them more than 500 years ago, and the ceremony is often combined with singing, dancing, and storytelling. It’s quite an unmissable experience!
Lastly, the Meke ceremony is the embodiment of Fiji’s rich culture and is done by telling stories through dancing and movement. There are many different types of Meke stories, from ancient legends to love stories, historical battle reenactments, and everything in between.
Discover Fiji’s Colorful Capital Island
From the pastel-hued flowers growing across the islands to the vibrant schools of fish darting past snorkelers to the vivid sunsets crowding the skies every evening and everything in between, it’s easy to see why Fiji is a very colorful nation.
However, Nadi takes it to another level!
The country’s second-largest city is a beautiful fusion of hues and colors. Take, for example, the beautiful paintings and ornate details of the Sri Siva Subramaniya temple (the largest Hindu temple in the Pacific!) or Nadi’s markets along Main Street.
One of the most romantic places in all of Fiji is the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, which rises high above the hills and is home to a medley of flora. The alley of more than 2,000 orchids is the perfect place to stroll with your partner and is sure to be an unforgettable part of your honeymoon.
