About the Trip
Trip Highlights
- An exclusive private-island retreat is the crowning experience of this journey, and one of the most beautiful and indulgent ways to stay in the entire South Pacific. Fiji is home to a number of celebrated luxury private islands, where just a handful of villas or bure share a whole island of white beaches, turquoise lagoon and swaying palms, offering a level of privacy, exclusivity and barefoot luxury that few destinations can match. Here you have space, seclusion and personal service in abundance, with your own villa opening onto the sand, a private plunge pool or beachfront deck, and the lagoon at your doorstep.
- Barefoot luxury and personal service define Fiji's finest island resorts, offering indulgence without pretension in some of the most beautiful settings on earth. This is not glossy, corporate luxury but something warmer and more intimate, exclusive island retreats where the emphasis is on space, seclusion, natural beauty and genuine, personal Fijian care. Staff know your name and remember your preferences, chefs prepare the freshest fish and tropical produce to your taste, and thoughtful touches, a flower-strewn bed, a sunset cocktail, a private dinner on the sand, appear as if by magic. The famous Fijian warmth adds an intangible glow.
- Seamless seaplane transfers add a touch of glamour and a spectacular perspective to a luxury Fiji journey, whisking you between islands in style. Rather than a lengthy boat ride, you fly by private or shared seaplane over the islands, and the aerial view is simply breathtaking, a scattering of emerald islets ringed by white beaches and turquoise lagoons, coral reefs visible beneath the crystal-clear water, and the vast blue Pacific stretching to the horizon. Landing on the water beside your private island and stepping straight onto the sand is an unforgettable, cinematic arrival.
- Privacy and seclusion are among Fiji's greatest luxuries, and this journey delivers them in abundance, particularly at the exclusive private island. On a small island shared by only a handful of guests, empty beaches, quiet lagoons and the sense of having paradise almost to yourself are simply the norm, a rare and precious luxury in a busy world. You can arrange a private picnic on a deserted stretch of sand, a sunset cruise for two, or a candlelit dinner on the beach with only the stars and the sound of the reef for company, experiences that feel genuinely exclusive rather than manufactured.
- Indulgent romantic touches and world-class dining make a luxury Fiji escape truly special, and we work with the finest island resorts to create unforgettable moments. Imagine a private candlelit dinner on a deserted beach, your table set in the sand with lanterns and flowers, the stars overhead and the gentle sound of the reef; a couples' spa treatment in a beachfront or overwater pavilion, lulled by the lap of the lagoon; a private lagoon cruise with champagne on ice; or a traditional lovo feast prepared just for you, accompanied by the songs of the resort staff.
- The natural beauty and pristine reefs of Fiji's islands provide a spectacular setting for a luxury escape, and even in the finest resorts, the wonders of the ocean are at your doorstep. The luxury islands are ringed by warm, crystal-clear lagoons and pristine coral reefs, so you can step from your villa straight into water alive with rainbow fish, giant clams, turtles and vibrant soft corals, or take a private boat to a secluded outer reef or deserted sandbar. Fiji's reefs, among the finest in the world, offer superb snorkelling and diving in warm, uncrowded water, and the marine life is abundant and easily seen.
Day by Day
A detailed day-by-day plan for this 8-day journey.
Your luxury Fiji escape begins as your flight touches down at Nadi, where you are greeted with a beaming 'Bula!' and a warm island welcome before a private transfer to a premium Denarau resort. Settle into your suite or villa with the lagoon at your doorstep, and spend the rest of the day easing into Fiji time, relaxing by the pool or beach, enjoying a spa treatment, or simply watching your first Pacific sunset with a cocktail in hand. This evening, a gourmet welcome dinner of the freshest island seafood and tropical produce sets the tone for the barefoot-luxury days ahead. With the finest comfort, personal service and the gentle pace of Fiji, the cares of the outside world fall away, and your idyllic island retreat begins. Rest well, for tomorrow you fly by seaplane to your exclusive island resort, over one of the most beautiful island seascapes on earth.
This morning you transfer for a spectacular seaplane flight to your premium Mamanuca island resort. The aerial view is breathtaking, a scattering of emerald islets ringed by white beaches and turquoise lagoons, coral reefs visible beneath the crystal-clear water, and the vast blue Pacific stretching to the horizon. Landing on the water beside your island and stepping straight onto the sand is an unforgettable, cinematic arrival. You are welcomed with song and a fresh coconut and settled into your beachfront villa, opening onto the lagoon. The rest of the day is yours to sink into island time in style, swimming in the warm, clear water, snorkelling the coral off your beach, enjoying a spa treatment, or simply relaxing on your private deck with a cocktail. As the sun sets in a blaze of colour, you settle into a few days of premium island bliss in one of the most beautiful settings in Fiji.
A day to enjoy your premium Mamanuca island in comfort and style. You might snorkel pristine coral gardens straight off your beach, take a private boat to a secluded outer reef or deserted sandbar, enjoy a couples' spa treatment in a beachfront pavilion, or simply relax on your private deck, cocktail in hand, watching the endless colours of the lagoon. The resort's fine dining showcases the freshest local seafood and tropical produce, and the warm, personal Fijian service anticipates your every wish. The pace is gloriously slow, and the beauty of the surroundings is intoxicating. As the afternoon fades, a private sunset cruise glides across the lagoon with champagne in hand, the sky ablaze with colour. It is barefoot luxury at its most beautiful and relaxing, and a perfect prelude to the exclusive private-island retreat that awaits you later in the journey, where you will have a whole tropical island almost to yourselves.
A free day to indulge on your Mamanuca island at your own pace. You might take another snorkelling or diving trip, sail across the lagoon, enjoy a spa day, join a private Fijian cultural experience, or simply relax by the sea, doing gloriously little at all in a stunning, uncrowded setting. The island's beauty and warm, personal service make even a lazy day a pleasure, with the finest comfort and the lagoon at your doorstep. This evening, a gourmet dinner, perhaps a private lovo feast on the beach accompanied by island songs, is a memorable highlight. Equally, a quiet romantic dinner for two by the water is tempting. Rest well tonight, for tomorrow you fly by seaplane to an exclusive private island, one of Fiji's celebrated luxury retreats, where a whole tropical island of white beaches and turquoise lagoon awaits, shared by only a handful of guests, for the barefoot-luxury heart of your escape.
This morning you transfer for another spectacular seaplane flight to your exclusive private island, one of Fiji's celebrated luxury retreats. Gliding over the beautiful island seascape, you land on the water beside your private island and step onto a beach shared by only a handful of guests, a whole tropical island of white sand, turquoise lagoon and swaying palms almost to yourselves. Welcomed with warm Fijian hospitality, you settle into your luxurious villa, opening onto the sand with a private plunge pool or beachfront deck and the lagoon at your doorstep. The rest of the day is yours to sink into pure, private paradise, swimming in the warm water, snorkelling the pristine reef, enjoying a spa treatment, or simply relaxing on your deck as the reef murmurs beyond. As the sun sets in a blaze of colour, the profound peace and exclusivity of your private island settle over you, and the world feels wonderfully far away.
A day of pure barefoot luxury on your exclusive private island. You might snorkel or dive the pristine reef straight off your beach, take a private boat to a deserted sandbar for a picnic just for two, enjoy a couples' spa treatment, kayak or paddleboard the calm lagoon, or simply relax on your private stretch of sand, cocktail in hand, with a whole tropical island almost to yourselves. The exclusivity and seclusion are profound, empty beaches, quiet water and the sense of having paradise to yourselves. This evening brings a highlight, a private candlelit dinner on the beach, your table set in the sand with lanterns and flowers, the stars overhead and the gentle sound of the reef, a truly magical romantic experience, prepared and served with the warmest Fijian care. It is the kind of day and evening, indulgent, private and utterly idyllic, that becomes a treasured, once-in-a-lifetime memory of your luxury Fijian escape.
A final full day to savour the barefoot luxury and seclusion of your private island before your escape draws to a close. Spend it swimming in the warm, clear lagoon, snorkelling the pristine reef, enjoying a last spa treatment, taking a private boat trip, or simply relaxing on your private deck, taking in the endless beauty of the island and the sea. The gentle, personal Fijian service anticipates your every wish, and the seclusion and tranquillity are deeply restorative, with a whole tropical island almost to yourselves. As evening falls, a special gourmet farewell dinner celebrates the days of pure indulgence and relaxation, and you watch one last spectacular sunset set the lagoon ablaze, cocktail in hand, already reluctant to leave this exclusive slice of paradise. Few places on earth combine such natural beauty, privacy, personal warmth and luxury, and the memory of your private Fijian island will stay with you for a lifetime.
After a last barefoot-luxury morning on your private island, perhaps a final swim in the lagoon or a snorkel over the reef, you transfer by seaplane back over the beautiful islands to Nadi for your onward international departure. You leave rested, radiant and quietly transformed, with sand between your toes, a shell necklace around your neck and the warmth of the Fijian welcome in your heart. The combination of Fiji's unspoiled beauty, genuine hospitality and the finest barefoot luxury has delivered a truly idyllic escape, and you depart already dreaming of a return to these beautiful islands and their turquoise lagoons, among the most beautiful and exclusive corners of the entire Pacific, and to the warmest, most heartfelt welcome you have ever known.

Know when to go.
- Visa & entry: Most nationalities, including UK, US, EU, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand passport holders, receive a free visitor permit of up to four months on arrival; a passport valid for at least six months and onward travel are required. We confirm the exact requirement for your nationality
- Currency: The currency is the Fijian Dollar; cards are accepted in the main resorts and towns, but carry cash for markets, villages, taxis and the smaller islands where facilities are limited. There is a small departure/environmental levy included in most air tickets
- Best time to visit: The dry season (May to October) is the most popular, with warm, sunny days, lower humidity and calmer seas, ideal for the islands and diving; the wetter season (November to April) is hotter and more humid with tropical downpours, and falls within the South Pacific cyclone season
- Getting around: Fiji's mainland Viti Levu is toured by road, while the Mamanuca and Yasawa islands are reached by catamaran, speedboat or scenic seaplane, and outer islands such as Taveuni by short flights; all transfers are arranged and included where specified, and island boat schedules set the rhythm
- Village etiquette & culture: When visiting a Fijian village, modest dress is expected (a sulu sarong, covered shoulders, no hats), and it is customary to present a small gift of kava root and share a welcoming kava ceremony; your guide advises on the respectful protocol, which is part of the rich experience
- Sundays & religion: Fiji is deeply Christian, and Sundays are quiet and reserved for church and family; attending a village church service to hear the extraordinary hymn singing is a moving highlight, and many businesses and some activities pause for the day
- Reef & ocean: Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a rash vest and reef shoes; Fiji's soft-coral reefs are world-famous, but respect the coral, never stand on it, and heed local advice about currents and tides, especially around reef passages
- Health & power: No vaccinations are required, drink bottled or treated water outside the main resorts, and pack insect repellent; tipping is not expected (many resorts have a staff Christmas fund instead). Power is 240V with Australian/New Zealand type I plugs, so bring an adapter

What meals are included?
Daily breakfast is included, along with any meals named in the itinerary such as a welcome dinner, a lovo feast or an island barbecue lunch. Many island resorts also offer meal plans, which we can arrange, as dining options can be limited on smaller islands. Fiji's fresh fish, tropical fruit and Indo-Fijian curries are a delight, and we are happy to recommend the best.
Are boat and island transfers included?
Yes — the catamaran, speedboat or seaplane transfers between the mainland and the islands specified in your itinerary are arranged and included, along with all airport and resort transfers, so your island hopping is seamless. Island boats run to set schedules, which shape the day; we plan around them and advise on baggage limits.
Do I need a visa for Fiji?
Most nationalities receive a free visitor permit of up to four months on arrival, provided you have a passport valid for at least six months and proof of onward travel. We confirm the exact requirement for your nationality when you book, so there are no surprises on arrival.
When is the best time to visit Fiji?
The dry season from May to October is the most popular, with warm, sunny days, lower humidity and calmer seas, ideal for the islands and diving. The wetter season (November to April) is hotter and greener but more humid with downpours, and falls within the cyclone season. We advise on the best timing for your plans.
Is Fiji good for both honeymoons and families?
Wonderfully so — Fiji suits everyone, with romantic overwater and beachfront retreats, spectacular lagoons and seclusion for honeymooners, and dedicated kids' clubs, gentle beaches, snorkelling and famously warm island hospitality for families. Many resorts specialise in one or the other, and we match the islands and resorts to your travel style.
Can the itinerary be customised?
Absolutely. We can adjust which islands you visit and for how long, combine the mainland's culture and adventure with the Mamanuca and Yasawa islands or the diving of Taveuni, add a private-island retreat, and tailor everything to your interests and budget. Every itinerary is a starting point.
