Bure bliss: 6 reasons Fiji is the ideal romantic destination

Fiji, the land of many islands (over 300 of them), is consistently named one of the most romantic destinations in the world — and it really does live up to its moniker. But what makes it so romantic? Here are the top six reasons Fiji is the destination for your most romantic trip yet. 

1. "Bure" bliss 

At both OUTRIGGER Fiji Beach Resort on the Coral Coast of Viti Levu and Castaway Island, Fiji, traditional bures (bungalows) make for true beachfront bliss. Ultra-private, ultra-relaxing and ultra-chic, they bring you not only oceanfront views and stunning style but you'll also be welcomed with the spirit of bula — the traditional greeting and "wish for life" that you'll receive all throughout the resort. You can also savor the magic of OUTRIGGER's exclusive Talai service: traditional five-star butler treatment with a South Pacific twist, from unpacking and ironing your clothing to afternoon champagne and canapes.

2. Candlelit dinners and poolside tapas 

Fiji is also known for fresh ingredients like fruits and herbs that make for delightful dining. From candlelit dinners on the sand to adults-only breakfast or tapas pool service, you can enjoy the flavor of the islands in your own romantic style.

3. Idyllic beaches 

The powder-sand beaches are also absolutely perfect for just lounging and dreaming the day away with your better half. Fiji is also known for its delicate coral reefs, including the third-largest continuous barrier reef in the world. Teeming with marine life, the nearly 200km stretch is perfect for snorkeling and scuba diving.

4. Private acres to play 

Find your own private paradise on OUTRIGGER Fiji Beach Resort's 40 romantic and exclusive acres for guests to wander and explore together. 

5. Eco-adventuring 

Fiji’s natural beauty is part of the adventure, and at Castaway Island, Fiji, couples can experience it while helping protect it. Join a coral planting activity to learn about the reef ecosystem and take part in efforts to restore and preserve the marine environment surrounding the island. On land, Castaway Island is also supporting the introduction of native Fijian iguanas, helping create a protected home for one of the country’s unique species. It’s a chance to connect more deeply with Fiji’s wild side while contributing to the places that make these islands so special.

6. Showers in the sky 

Meaning "butterfly" in Fijian, the Bebe Spa Fiji at OUTRIGGER Fiji Beach Resort gets its namesake from the feeling of being cocooned in a sanctuary of pampering for all your senses. The award-winning spa sits atop a plateau known to local villagers as Vakalomalagi Hill, or Heavenly Hill. Savor private, open-air balconies overlooking the sea with a "Shower in the Sky" as you meditate on the glorious romance of the stunning Coral Coast below.
