With its turquoise waters, stunning coral reefs, and impressive resorts, Fiji is a dream destination for travellers of all kinds – not just honeymooners. On my recent research trip through the island nation, I discovered a variety of unique resorts which all offer something a little different – providing the perfect family holiday, serene retreat or, indeed, romantic honeymoon. 

For families looking to create unforgettable memories, Kokomo Island Resort is a top choice. This exclusive, all-inclusive resort offers a plethora of activities tailored for all ages. Kids can enjoy the fully supervised kids’ club while parents indulge in world-class diving, snorkelling, or simply relaxing on the pristine beaches. The spacious family villas come with private pools and direct beach access, ensuring everyone has room to spread out and enjoy. Kokomo’s commitment to sustainability and local community engagement also provides an educational and enriching experience for children and adults alike. 

If romance is on your mind, Tokoriki Island Resort is the epitome of a honeymoon paradise. This adults-only resort is renowned for its intimate ambience, stunning sunsets, and luxurious accommodations. Private beachfront bures and villas come with plunge pools and outdoor showers, creating the perfect setting for a romantic getaway. The resort’s dining options, featuring exquisite Fijian and international cuisine, coupled with private beach dinners, ensure an unforgettable experience for newlyweds. The serene environment and exceptional service make Tokoriki Island Resort a haven for lovebirds. 

For those desiring privacy and exclusivity, COMO Laucala Island is unparalleled. This private island resort offers expansive villas, each with its own pool, private beach, and lush gardens. Ideal for both couples and families, Laucala provides tailored experiences ranging from horse riding and golf to diving and rainforest tours – all of which are bundled into their impressive all-inclusive offering. The resort’s holistic wellness centre (COMO Shambhala) and farm-to-table dining add to its charm, ensuring a rejuvenating stay. With only a limited number of guests at any time, COMO Laucala Island guarantees a secluded and intimate escape. 

Nanuku Resort is the perfect choice for travellers wanting to immerse themselves in traditional Fijian culture. Located on the main island of Viti Levu, this resort combines modern luxury with authentic cultural experiences. Guests can participate in traditional Fijian cooking classes, village tours, and tribal Kava ceremonies, as well as mud crabbing in the mangroves, tubing down the Navua River, and spectacular hikes to nearby waterfalls. In addition, Nanuku’s commitment to sustainability and community engagement makes it a particularly meaningful and enriching destination. 

For young couples seeking relaxation and a break from the hustle and bustle, Six Senses Fiji is an ideal retreat. This eco-friendly resort is located on Malolo Island and offers a tranquil environment perfect for a babymoon or a romantic escape. With its focus on wellness, guests can enjoy spa treatments, yoga sessions, and healthy dining options. The resort’s luxurious villas provide a serene setting to unwind and enjoy the sun. The pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters make Six Senses Fiji a perfect spot to disconnect and rejuvenate. 

For those who prefer a more stripped-back, barefoot luxury experience, Yasawa Island Resort is the ultimate destination. This remote resort is known for having some of the best beaches in Fiji, with powdery white sand and azure waters. The spacious and rustic-chic bures are designed for comfort and simplicity, allowing guests to reconnect with nature. With only a handful of guests at a time, Yasawa Island Resort offers an exclusive and intimate atmosphere. Activities like snorkelling, village visits, and the resort’s signature private beach picnics ensure an authentic and memorable stay. 

For those passionate about sustainability and giving back, Likuliku Lagoon Resort is an outstanding choice. This eco-friendly resort is known for its commitment to preserving the local environment and culture. The resort is heavily involved in marine conservation efforts, including a successful coral reef restoration program. Likuliku is also renowned for its iguana conservation program, specifically the endangered Fijian Crested Iguana. Guests have the opportunity to learn about these unique reptiles and the efforts being made to ensure their survival. The program includes breeding and reintroduction projects, which guests can support and engage with during their stay.
