It’s only a four-hour flight from Sydney, which is perfect because couples can keep your hands to yourselves for that long. Since it is cheap, accessible, and, most importantly, won’t cause you to arrive groggy from jet lag, you won’t feel guilty about cracking open the complementary bottle of champagne as soon as you check in.

Fiji is unparalleled in its natural beauty and makes for magical Honeymoon Destinations. The sunsets are more stunning, the water is warmer, and the colours are brighter in this part of the world.

The unique and colourful marine life that inhabits its beautiful emerald oceans sways to the rhythm of the slow and steady island pulse.

Accommodation suggestions for honeymooners and other couples visiting Fiji

If you need a break from the mainland, head to the Coral Coast or Denarau. Just twenty minutes from the airport, the resort island of Denarau features several five-star hotels operated by well-known chains.

Just a little further out in the water are the Yasawa and Kadavu Islands. Their jungles and beaches have not been impacted by tourism because they are slightly off the beaten path (albeit still a quick flight from Viti Levu). Tourists can get a more authentic feel for Fiji by visiting some of the less well-known locations, which are nonetheless rich in the country’s rich cultural heritage.

Select the time of year with the most favourable conditions.

Fiji is a true tropical paradise, with pleasant temperatures all year round. Even if there isn’t a great deal of change in the weather, the perfect time can be pinpointed. If you want to have a peaceful time, you should also avoid the crowds.

Take part in some couple-oriented activities.

After all, this is the only chance you’ll ever have for a romantic escapade. Ideally, you and your significant other would pursue endeavours that facilitate frequent opportunities for shared activity.

Here are a few illustrations of possible improvements:

• Date-night picnic on a deserted island (as stated above, organised by the resort)
• Having dinner with your loved ones on the beach or a pontoon boat out in the middle of the ocean with just the flicker of candlelight (check with resort)
• Independently mounting a horse (not many offer this)
• Snorkelling
• Kayaking

Consider taking a cruise as a means of escape.

A cruise is a great way to experience the wonders of Fiji from a different perspective. There is a variety of itinerary lengths to choose from, starting with just one day and going all the way up to seven nights.

It’s a great opportunity to see the sights, get out on the ocean, and unwind in the beautiful surroundings that Fiji has to offer.
