Back to Paradise | 6 of the best resorts in Fiji!

AS FAR FROM ORDINARY AS YOU CAN POSSIBLY TRAVEL

Dust off your passport, you will be on island time soon. Fiji announces plans to reopen borders for tourists and we could not be more excited!

In the middle of the South Pacific Ocean lies a beautiful cluster of islands showcasing dramatic volcanic peaks, dazzling white sand beaches, and crystal clear water. Beautiful Fiji, our neighboring tropical paradise, where you will be greeted with the most welcoming smiles where ever you go. Picture yourself on a hammock swaying in the breeze between two coconut trees or wandering through lush tropical rainforests that end where bright beaches begin.

Fiji is set to welcome the first international guests from the 1st December, Fiji’s Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama has confirmed an easing of restrictions, including the removal of quarantine requirements for arrivals from designated “travel partner countries” including Australia, New Zealand, USA, and UK.

Alquemie works with 6 of the most exclusive properties in Fiji, being boutique in size, they accommodate a small numbers of guests. While there is availability, we expect this will rapidly change due to the influx of interest around the borders reopening. We highly recommend planning now to secure your getaway.

YASAWA ISLAND RESORT

The Yasawa Islands are famous for their beautiful white sand beaches and gorgeous weather. Located at the very top of the Yasawa Island group, Yasawa Island is in the sunniest and driest part of Fiji, enjoying tropical warmth and ideal ocean temperatures all year round, and the least amount of rainfall even in Fiji’s wetter months.

At Yasawa there is no such thing as a standard room, with 18 traditionally thatched beachfront bures, nestled among the palms with incredible ocean views. Setting the benchmark for absolute luxury and complete seclusion, is the honeymoon bure, hidden from the rest of the resort at the end of a deserted white beach. A private retreat with its own horizon pool overlooking the ocean. This is Yasawa at its best!

What we love: Yasawa Island Resort is the only resort on the island, having exclusive access to 11 private white sand beaches. Enjoy a picnic on your very own deserted beach. Private picnics are unlimited and included in their nightly rate. This is an incredibly special experience and is a highlight for all of our guests.

* Yasawa Island Resort is an adult-only property, except for a few selected dates throughout the year.

VOMO

The Vomo Islands are made up of 2 islands; Vomo and Vomo Lai Lai. Vomo offers the only resort on these stunning islands and is one of the most luxurious resorts in the South Pacific. Being one of the largest and most beautiful islands in Fiji, Vomo is never crowded, wrapped with long white sand beaches on both sides of the island.

Vomo becomes your personal paradise the moment you arrive. Enjoy the delights of whiling away the day under a coconut tree with a luxurious spa treatment, your only appointment. Invigorate yourself with a hike up Mt Vomo, a snorkelling trip atop their many coral reefs or a challenging 9 holes of golf. The days are yours to explore over 255 acres of private island and its surrounding azure waters.

What we love: Vomo Lai Lai (Little Vomo)! A short distance to the west of Vomo sits Vomo Lai Lai, a true deserted island. Surrounded by trademark aqua waters, this tiny island has some of the finest snorkelling and diving. Be taken on a boat with a beautiful gourmet picnic, for you to enjoy under the shade of an umbrella. With a two-way radio to call when you are ready to return or if you run out of champagne.

ROYAL DAVUI

Royal Davui Island is a barefoot luxury resort with 16 exquisitely appointed private vales, all with private plunge pools, nestle around 10 acres of lush tropical landscape. At Royal Davui you will enjoy a combination of genuine care, welcoming staff and the freedom to be secluded in your own tropical oasis.

Picture yourself waking up each morning to the sound of the waves and looking out over the Fijian islands from your secluded sundeck. Enjoy a romantic champagne breakfast on a deserted sand cay, and spend your days snorkeling off the beach. During the afternoon, taking a dip in your heated private plunge pool as you watch the dolphins and sea turtles swim over the coral reef.

What we love: The concept of responsible luxury is front of mind with Royal Davui. They keep the island as natural as possible, the owners designed the villas, buildings and amenities to blend into the existing vegetation and old growth trees. The reef surrounding the island has been declared “TABU” (sacred), with no fishing allowed within 1 mile of the island. As a result a stunning marine reserve with countless species of fish, clams and coral has been created.

* Royal Davui is an adult-only property

KOKOMO PRIVATE ISLAND

Kokomo Private Island fuses unscripted luxury with the bounty of space and the generosity of time to do as much (or as little) as your holiday heart desires. Cradled by the Great Astrolabe Reef, unspoiled and naturally immaculate island is more than a backdrop, it is your home away from home.

The epitome of privacy and luxury, each of their 21 exclusive Villas include their own private pool, tropical walled garden, ocean view and direct beach access. Open plan living at its finest, a refined and fresh take on Pacific design, each villa boasts a unique marriage of contemporary design practices and traditional Fijian nuances, alongside elegant stonework, and artwork by renowned artist Chris Kenyon.

What we love: The reef provides a virtual portal into an unparalleled underwater world, snorkelling or diving with a manta ray at Kokomo Private Island is an unforgettable and surreal experience. Guests will have the opportunity to swim approximately 3-5 feet away from these gentle giants, observing them from above. While mantas are found year round at Kokomo’s many dive sites, snorkelling encounters are most likely to occur between June and September.

* Kokomo Private Island is is an adult-only property

TOKORIKI ISLAND RESORT

Tokoriki Island Resort is an exclusive beautiful island escape, set on one of the most northern islands of the stunning Mamanuca Group. Tokoriki Island Resorts offers one of the most romantic couples and honeymoon experiences in the South Pacific, along with exquisite Fijian warmth and hospitality. Accommodation at Tokoriki Island Resort comes in the form of luxury Villas or Bures that combine traditional Fijian architecture with all the latest amenities you expect.

Experience Fijian culture with a visit to the local village, indulge in a decadent spa treatment or simply soak up the sun by the horizon edge pool. Tokoriki Island Resort provides a true and authentic experience of Fiji.

What we love: Tokoriki Island Resort has its own house reef providing an excellent opportunity for diving in the South pacific. Rainbow hued coral gardens, towering pinnacles, eerie tunnels and plunging drop offs. Outstanding Fiji diving right on your doorstep! 1,200 species of fish from tiny translucent gobies to vivid angelfish, exotic Fijian endemics and fast moving sharks. Over 300 types of soft and hard corals, cobalt seas and sheltered coves add up to an experience you can never forget.

* Tokoriki is an adult-only property

JEAN-MICHEL COUSTEAU RESORT

Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort is an award-winning luxurious island destination, with great focus on rest and relaxation, authentic cuisine and culture, and exploring the incredible secrets of nature and the local environment. Overlooking beautiful Savusavu Bay, the Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort features only 25 luxurious bures. 5-star accommodation and service amidst quintessential Fiji island serenity.

Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort Fiji was one of the world’s first eco-luxury hotels. The property’s operational practices are guided first and foremost by consideration for the environment, creating an incredible opportunity for travelers to visit, experience and support the region’s efforts to preserve its beauty for generations to come.

What we love: One for the kiddies! Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort has an award-winning children’s club. Children are set for an adventure of a lifetime from the moment they set foot in the Bula Club. This complimentary program offers an engaging, fun and educational atmosphere for children at the resort, where they can be left under the watchful eye of the dedicated nannies and buddies.

The Fijian people are known to be the friendliest people in the world and will happily share their special culture and traditional customs with visitors. The Fijian culture is simply captivating, especially their songs of welcome.

Where ever in Fiji you choose to go, one thing is for certain, you will be serenaded by warm smiles, friendly waves and the strains of island music.
