As honeymoon season kicks into full swing, the boutique-style luxury resorts of Fiji are fast becoming one of the hottest trends for 2007.
Likuliku Lagoon Resort, an exclusive resort off the west coast of the island of Viti Levu, recently opened its doors to offer the first true over-water bungalow experience in Fiji. With intimate charm, the resort has 46 spacious bures - 10 of which are over water and 36 line the pristine beachfront. Some have private plunge pools and outdoor showers, but all have inescapable views of the brilliant ocean.
Likuliku Lagoon Resort is fast becoming Fiji's No. 1-selling resort for honeymooners seeking both solace and adventure.
"I chose Likuliku Lagoon because it is both a beautiful and distinctive resort, where the guests are treated like royalty, and it's the first place in Fiji to offer over-water bungalows," said Chicagoan Jennifer Holder, who will marry and honeymoon at Likuliku in August.
Also catching the eye of the U.S. honeymoon luxury market, Yasawa Island Fiji Resort appeared on the radar with its listing in "1000 Places to See Before You Die." With merely 18 thatched bures, dozens of secluded, white sandy beaches and a wine cellar to impress even the most well-traveled, honeymooners will find themselves relaxing in privacy and absolute luxury. Yasawa recently opened the new Bavari Spa, the first genuine Fijian spa on the beach.
On the south coast of Vanua Levu, Namale Fiji Resort and Spa will appeal to the active honeymooner and outdoor enthusiast. Referred to as "The Garden of Eden," waterfall tours, horse riding, mountain biking, hiking, guided reef walks and cultural experiences like the Fijian Village Tour are just some of the many activities Namale has to offer. At the end of the day, guests can pamper themselves in the resort's award-winning 10,000-square-foot spa, set on a volcanic cliff that overlooks the endless sea.
Palm-fringed beaches, crystal blue waters and vibrant coral reefs are just some of the things that honeymooners to Qamea Resort and Spa can indulge in. Nestled between a lush rainforest and calm waters, honeymooners can place one foot on each side of the international dateline, explore waterfalls, dine beachside, watch magical sunsets and enjoy the vibrancy of Qamea.
"I find the islands of Fiji perfect for those travelers who seek the rejuvenation and romanticism of a holiday that Hawaii or Tahiti offers, but want something truly unique," said Corinne Goodman, Down Under Endeavours president. "Fiji offers a perfect setting where picnics on deserted island beaches are still a reality."
