Whether you've had to delay an anniversary or wedding or are looking to finally commemorate an occasion with loved ones in a fittingly special place, Fiji delivers on the magic. Celebrate in the place where happiness finds you.
If circumstances have meant that your celebration of love – be it a wedding, anniversary, vow renewal, honeymoon, romantic holiday or just the opportunity to be together with loved ones – was thwarted or downplayed in the past couple of years, it's time now to put that special occasion firmly back on the calendar. And after the hard yards of lockdowns and restrictions, now more than ever do we deserve to mark it in a place that is so wonderfully set up for such auspicious moments. Here we take a look at Fiji's sublime choices for celebrations, whether it's just you and your significant other, or getting the whole family on board.
If you're ready to say "I do", take the stress out of arranging it and let one of Fiji's many wedding-specific packages take care of all the details. Among others, Sheraton Fiji Golf & Beach Resort, Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort and Malamala Beach Club all have options for stunning ceremonies (you can even take over the whole island for the day at Malamala Beach Club should the budget allow, with up to 400 of your closest friends). If some serious pamper time is needed before, or maybe after, the revelry, Shangri-La Yanuca Island,'s Dusk 'til Dawn.
Package is a night of indulgent bliss. A honeymoon in Fiji will be memorable no matter where you go; but to add to the romance why not take a boat or helicopter excursion to a remote beach or island for a sumptuous, secluded private picnic for two – many resorts have this option as part of their offerings. Barefoot luxury abounds at Fiji's adults-only resorts: Tokoriki Island Resort has an air of relaxed exclusivity with a maximum of 72 guests; Likuliku Lagoon Resort's stunning bures, some overwater, are romance perfection and Royal Davui Island Resort too, located in the spectacular Beqa Lagoon, will take care of your every need. For something a little bit different, at boutique Savasi Island Resort you even have the option to enjoy an epic dinner in a cave.
If family and friends have come over to mark the big day, or you want somewhere exceptional for a long-awaited reunion, Fiji is what family holiday dreams are made of. And there are an abundance of private villas and residences that can host large families and groups. Here are some options that will imbue your party's time with the feeling of a home away from home – albeit in paradise – and give loved ones the chance to fully relax into island living.
