Fiji!

Why go...Diving! Gorgeous hiking! Villages! Kava ceremonies! Sing in church with locals! Learn  basket weaving!  Sawailau Caves!  Swim with sharks and manta rays! Learn to cook Fijian food! 



Namale Resort!  They prepare kick ass dreamy picnics!  



Wakaya Club!  Big and gorgeous villas; they would be heaven to go with your whole family!

Dolphin Island!  Beautiful island with treehouse!

Royal Davui Island Resort!  Another beautiful private island resort! It's such a beautiful, tiny island and such a lovely resort; I just wanted to be there!


Poseidon Underwater Resort!  For those of us that love the water but are scared silly by sharks!  To be under the sea hour after hour!  Heaven!  Please hurry and open!  We need you! 

Turtle Island!   Beautiful, romantic private island resort!  The island matches you with a  "bure mama" who makes sure you are comfy and hugs you into Fiji culture! 

Intimate Dine-Outs

Matamonaoa Resort!  Beautiful, private island resort!  I love how tiny the island is, and how pretty the beaches are.  It  has a castaway feel!


Remote Resort!  I love how forest-y this is!  It reminds me of being a kid and spending the day wandering around outside in the summer.

Nanuku Fiji Resort!  This is a big, glossy resort  with an ex-pat retirement community in residence!  I love that a lot of the other resorts are small and personal, but sometimes anonymity is perfect!  And...how fun would it be to chit chat with ex-pats!


Emaho Sekawa Resort!  This is a pretty resort that will put together beautiful and romantic picnics for you anywhere on the island!


Tui Tai!   24 passengers at a time sail around the Fiji islands stopping at the best scuba dive locations, beaches, and hiking.  They also provide a lot of opportunities to spend time in small villages! 



Coastal Inland Tours!  You can go on a trip to Cannibal Cave!  


Heritage Hamlet!  An interactive cultural museum!  Right up my alley; I love this kind of thing!
