Fiji Islands
 

 

 

Bula!
 Our 333 islands can sizzle with excitement or murmur with the quiet calm of pristine nature. Where else can you swim with huge, harmless manta rays congregating by the shore, snorkel over giant rainbow gardens of soft coral, or scuba dive the White Wall and famous Astrolabe Reef. Fiji is where the Cloud Breaker, the incredible six-metre wave found offshore at Tavarua, draws surfers from around the world.

It is also where you can float in the calm, quiet waters of a turquoise lagoon at sunset or walk alone through lush rainforest. It is where the sun shines almost everyday and when it does rain, people rush outside for a rainbath in the warm, brief downpour of a tropical shower which ends as quickly as it began. This is where life is lived for the joy of it all, where rushing is rude, and the name of a new friend is never forgotten. Fiji is where people wear flowers tucked in their hair, not to impress visitors, but because they like to.

Wedding Dreams come true


 

Fiji, renowed as an idyllic and relaxing tropical paradise, is also a haven for the about to be weds, newlyweds and the romantic at heart. Getting married in Fiji has become quite a trend, and many resorts, hotels, even cruises, are offering fabulous wedding honeymoon packages to suit every couple's needs.

Choices range from luxurious private hideaways to more modest options. Locations include clifftop decks set amid cascading waterfalls, lush tropical gardens, pristine beaches, or even underwater.

Weddings in Fiji are stress-free. Resorts offer the services of a wedding coordinator who will arrange everything including legal requirements in advance. They also offer great flexibility and a willingness to tailor arrangements to match a couple's aspirations.

One of the most unique options of a wedding in Fiji is the chance to include rituals from the local culture. A living culture with natural hospitality seeped in fascination tradition, Fiji is a land of song and dance. Fijian warriors, costumed attendants and decorated traditional rafts are available to make the occasion unique. Handcrafed bark cloth with stunning garland of fibre and tropical flowers are among the many options.
