Sultry, tropical, and alluring, Fiji easily tops the charts as one of the world’s most romantic destinations, with hundreds of secluded islands and spectacular beaches to explore.

Discover Fiji’s most romantic experiences, including a selection of the most charming and intimate dive resorts available – carefully selected based on our own first hand experience of Fiji’s spectacular resorts plus feedback from our guests. 

With exquisite backdrops, unforgettable adventures, and tons of charisma, the Pacific island nation of Fiji is an ideal destination for doting dive buddies.

Fiji is a Pacific island nation famous for its year-round tropical climate, beautiful beaches, and picture-perfect scenery, including thundering waterfalls and dense, old-growth rainforests. It’s also home to some of the world’s most unspoilt landscapes, including scenery that provided the backdrop for Hollywood classics like Castaway and The Blue Lagoon. With two main islands and hundreds of smaller isles, Fiji is perfect for island hopping and sailing, with each secluded destination seemingly more lovely than the last. And, thanks to its lack of large-scale tourist infrastructure, much of the region remains pristine - ideal for peaceful connection between couples.

Fiji is home to a fascinating and unique culture, blending traditions from all around the world. It’s impossible to visit the country without attending at least one Meke, a ceremonial song and dance performance. Local village tours often include a chance to try kava, a slightly narcotic beverage made from the crushed roots of the yaqona plant that packs an aphrodisiac punch. Other can’t miss experiences include Fijian Lovo - a feast wrapped in banana leaves and roasted underground, and the incredible fire walkers of Beqa - a sight that you’ll have to see to believe!  

Fiji is also famous for its luxurious island resorts, boasting private oceanfront Bures and villas. With one of these indulgent resorts as your base, you’ll hardly have to see another human if you don’t want to, with footprint-free beaches, private concierge and butler services, exclusive drinking and dining opportunities, and the chance to enjoy five-star spa services in total seclusion.

Lastly, if you’re a couple that enjoys outdoor adventure together, you’re in luck. Fiji is unparalleled in its opportunities for adrenaline-inducing underwater exploration. Dubbed the shark diving capital of the world, famous dive sites in Pacific Harbour and Beqa offer encounters with up to eight species of sharks. The sharks are beckoned by Fiji’s powerful currents, which are also to be thanked for the country’s incredible soft coral gardens. These fascinating formations sway with the tidal flow, creating a moving carpet of colour, home to myriad creatures and making for an incredible underwater photography background.  

When it comes to exclusive private islands and relaxing resorts, couples visiting Fiji are spoiled for choice. But, a few resorts do stand head and shoulders above the rest! These island hideaways cater to travellers of all types, with exciting adventures like diving, watersports and hiking, as well as leisurely activities including island hopping, wandering some of the world’s most picturesque beaches, or simply soaking in your swimming pool. They also foster romantic connection with beautiful, intimate accommodation set to a backdrop of Hollywood-worthy scenery, delicious fine dining and drinking, and indulgent spa services.
