4. Hike to a Secluded Sunset Spot

For the active couple, discover tropical forests, beaches and even the caves of the Yasawa Islands on an island walking trail. Walking trails are often secluded, so it’s a fantastic way to spend some alone time together. Enjoy a sunset walk to a fantastic viewpoint at Naqalia Lodge or take a steady climb to sensational views on the Ridge Walk at Botaira Island Resort.

7. Test Your Relationship in a Double Kayak

Maybe before you decide to commit to each other, test your relationship by kayaking together! There’s a hint of romance as you discover secluded coves and inlets together, but you’ll also need to work as a team to navigate the waters. Resorts offer complimentary kayak hire, so there’s no excuse.

8. Stay in a Romantic Adult-Only Resort

Staying in an adult-only resort is another way to add a romantic flair to your Fiji getaway, especially as resorts like the Navutu Stars Resort specialise in holidays for couples. With no guests under the age of 16, and due to the fact that all the Yasawa’s adult-only resorts have a limited number of bures (bungalows), you’ll be sure to enjoy your time together undisturbed. Learn more in our list of 5 Adult-Only Resorts in the Yasawa Islands.

Onto the serious stuff now, there’s a reason why so many couples choose the Yasawa Islands to ask the big question. Resorts in the Yasawas love romance and are usually happy to assist when planning your proposal. A few ideas could be a private beach picnic where your loved one discovers the ring in the picnic basket, or during a Champagne breakfast at sunrise after horse riding along a private beach.
