Romantic bures: Fiji is known for its bures, traditional thatched-roofed wood bungalows set along the beach or tucked in the lush green foliage. These buildings usually contain one or two rooms with louvered windows which let the breeze in and exotic amenities such as plunge pools, outdoor showers, and beds draped with nets. They can range from being very basic to luxurious with nightly rates ranging from $250 to $5000.

Go Island Hopping: Comprised of so many beautiful islands, Fiji offers visitors the opportunity to visit and explore new destinations each day. There are two main islands: Viti Levu, the largest island and home to the Nadi International Airport, and Vanua Levu, the second largest which has many resorts catering to dives as it is flanked by one of the world’s longest barrier reefs. Tavenui, the third largest island, is covered with tropical rainforests and Kaduvu, the fourth in size, is ideal for hiking, bird-watching, and eco-adventure. After you take a short ferry ride or a plane ride to your next island of choice, you’ll have the opportunity to relax on your own uninhabited island.
