3. Sit Down to a Private Waterfront Dinner
A private waterfront dinner while watching the sun fade behind the Pacific Ocean is a magical way to end another day together. Many of the resorts, but especially the romantic adult-only resorts in the Mamanucas, organise private dinners for couples. Try in-villa gourmet dining at the Tokoriki Island Resort or a private oceanview bure dinner with a personal butler at the Likuliku Lagoon Resort.

4. Do a Sunset Cruise Around the Islands
Yep, sunset is that romantic time of day, so we’ll give you another way to spend some special time together at sunset. Resorts like Six Senses Fiji and Likuliku Lagoon offer cruises at sunset complete with refreshments and sparkling wine while you sit back and enjoy the views of the islands.

5. Learn How to Scuba Dive Together
Fiji’s clear tropical waters are teeming with life, so what better way to strengthen your bond than to learn how to scuba dive together? Most resorts offer PADI-associated scuba diving lessons, where discovering the vibrant underwater world together is all part of the fun. Keep that in mind when choosing your Mamanuca Islands resort.

6. Pop the Question with Writing in the Sand or a Message in a Bottle…
… or with a private island picnic, or atop of a hilltop hike, or with a private waterfront dinner, or while flying over a heart-shaped island! There are so many creative ways you can ask the big question in the Mamanuca Islands, so take a look at the 9 Ways to Propose in the Mamanuca Islands for inspiration.

Almost all of the resorts in the Mamanuca Islands offer complimentary use of non-motorised watersports equipment like paddleboards, snorkel gear and, yes, kayaks.
