4 Surprising Reasons to Spend Your Honeymoon in Fiji

The romantic environment in Fiji is immediately apparent. From sunsets on the South Pacific and dinner for two overlooking the ocean, to the stunning white-sand beaches and couple’s massages – Fiji offers an incredibly romantic vacation experience. Couples visiting Fiji quickly become wrapped-up in the amorous atmosphere. However, much of this description could apply to any number of tropical islands in Oceania, or indeed around the world.

If many people offer a romantic atmosphere, then why does Fiji continuously stand out as a honeymoon destination? The answer is apparent when you consider the surprising reasons you should honeymoon in Fiji.

#1: Read About the Sunsets, Tell Stories of the Stars

When people talk about romantic destinations, they always focus on the sunsets. Whether you are browsing photos on Instagram or reading from a guidebook, your research is certain to include descriptions and photos of incredible sunsets from Fiji. And truly, the vibrant sunsets here are something you have to see. Yet, when you return home, it won’t only be sunsets and colors you talk about years later, but the stars.

When the sun goes down on Taveuni, the stars come out, and do so in fantastic, impressive fashion. The midnight sky, uncompromised by light pollution, is a deep and unending black, speckled by millions of stars. Plus, Fiji’s location in the Southern Hemisphere offers many visitors a chance to see the night sky from an entirely different perspective. At Raiwasa, you can choose among several romantic outdoor settings for stargazing. Drink in hand, loved one in your arms – after dark is certain to be your favorite time to watch the sky.

#2: Seek Out the Ocean, Discover the Jungle

Could there be anything more romantic than spending a day lounging under a beach bure, sipping on cocktails, and taking dips in the turquois water of the South Pacific? If you are inclined to say no, then just wait until you hear about what’s hidden in Taveuni’s dense, tropical jungle.

As you and your partner wander between the jungle’s flora and fauna, there are plenty of chances to be entirely alone on the jungle path. Soak up the intense greens and bright colors of the flowers, discover your own hideaway, and get lost in the overwhelming beauty of this unique ecosystem. But the highlight of your jungle adventure is the waterfalls. Stunning cascades of fresh and clear water continuously rushes down the steep rock walls. You’ll take a secluded swim, with the hypnotizing sound of the falls blocking out the rest of the world.

#3: Come for Cocktails, Stay for Kava

Honeymoons are purposefully designed to be a time of rest and relaxation after the bustle and business of a wedding. The most common images of couples on their honeymoon feature a beautiful beach scene, two large lounge chairs on or overlooking the ocean, and a delicious cocktail in hand. This classic scene is how people spend a lot of days at Raiwasa, but Fiji also has more to offer newlyweds on their honeymoon.

In Fiji is the chance to spend your first days as a married couple learning new things about the world and each other. On a honeymoon in Fiji, you’ll discover an entirely new culture. You will watch traditional dances and performances, learn about food preparation and cuisine, and of course, take part in a kava ceremony. These Fijian traditions are opportunities to learn about people and customs dissimilar from your own, but people also leave knowing much more about themselves and their spouse.

#4: Revel in Luxury, Remember the Simplicity

Your honeymoon in Fiji will undoubtedly be a luxurious experience. The hospitality here is second to none and the quality of accommodation on the islands is exceptional. You can find opulent hotels, basic beach huts, and private resorts, like Raiwasa, that can ensure an outstanding level of service and indulgence. The promise of a luxurious and lavish honeymoon is what draws many lovers to Fiji, and you won’t be disappointed during your trip.

But at Raiwasa, we guarantee that when you leave Fiji and return home, it won’t be just the opulence and extravagance that lingers in your memory. In fact, many honeymooners find it’s just the opposite. The simple moments of peace and quiet – when you spend precious extra minutes, undisturbed and unconcerned in bed, or talk about the future kayaking on the Somosomo Strait – will be the experiences you think of most and remember the most fondly.

In Fiji, you’ll find these unimpressive, unplanned moments are plentiful, and become the true joy of your honeymoon here.
