1. Arrive on the Island in Style with a Private Flight
Domestic flights from Viti Levu provide a fast and easy way to get to Fiji’s second-largest island. However, the only way to ensure an adult-only experience is with a private charter flight. Enjoy the intimacy of your own private flight from Nadi with aviation companies such as Island Hoppers. Pacific Island Air also offer private plane, seaplane and helicopter flights to Savusavu, Vanua Levu’s main port and town. With the stunning views seen from the air, it’s certainly a special way to arrive in paradise.

4. Spend Time in an Adult-Only Beach Club
While the resorts like the Koro Sun Resort welcome all types of guests, there’s no risk of each group disturbing the other thanks to areas like the Edgewater Beach Club. This area exclusively for adults features a luxurious infinity edge pool, as well as a swim-up bar. If you’re looking for alternative private pool time, most of the luxury resorts that we feature in our 7 Best Luxury Resorts on Vanua Levu have villas with either a private plunge pool or a private infinity pool.

5. Escape the Hustle and Bustle on a Nature Walk
Even if your resort somehow feels too crowded, one way to get away from it all is to go for a walk or a hike. Energise your senses by walking under the rainforest canopy of the Koro Sun Resort looking out for the orange-breasted barking dove and stopping by waterfalls to cool off. Nukubati Island Resort also has a couple of attractive bush walks, as well as a small hill with a lookout. There are also walks to discover outside of the resorts, such as at the Waisali Rainforest Reserve. Find out more in our 12 Things to Do on Vanua Levu.

9. Hit the Bars and Nightclubs of Savusavu and Labasa
Vanua Levu is home to a couple of Fiji’s larger towns. With that comes some excellent watering holes and nightclubs. If you’re looking for a place to meet up with friends, relax with a refreshing Fiji beer or mingle with the locals, then check out the nightlife in Savusavu and Labasa. While the Savusavu Yacht Club at the Copra Shed Marina is a popular go-to for tourists and expats, try the upstairs bar at the Waitui Marina serving cheap food and drinks. Another popular bar to try in Savusavu is the historic Planters’ Club. Although it is a private member’s club, tourists are welcome – just sign in with the bar staff. On the other side of the island, Labasa has a vibrant nightclub scene with the Pontoon and Fusion nightclubs blasting Bollywood tunes until 1am.
