Our Recommended Stays on Kadavu for Couples
Authentic Insights from Expert Travel Writers
If you find romance in the tranquillity of a place, in connecting with nature and adventuring together, then you will love this island in Fiji. Kadavu (pronounced Kan-daa-vu) is Fiji’s fourth-largest island but one of the lesser-visited destinations, meaning it’s unspoiled when it comes to nature and Fijian culture. The soft sandy beaches, forests teeming with colourful birds, and glistening waters home to vibrant coral reefs make for an unforgettable backdrop to a romantic escape or perhaps a special occasion such as starting the rest of your lives together. Find out where to base yourself for a magical visit to Kadavu with this list of the most romantic resorts on Kadavu.

1. Kokomo Private Island
If you’re looking for a honeymoon or wedding wrapped in luxury then Kadavu’s only private island resort is a no-brainer. After landing at Kokomo Island via seaplane, you’ll stay in one of the open-plan bures (bungalow) with cathedral ceilings, traditionally thatched rooves and a stylishly sleek interior. Each accommodation here has its own private infinity pool, landscaped garden and direct beach access. The wealth of activities on offer is more than you could ever imagine completing, but the sunset cruise, waterfall tour and romantic destination dining provide special activities for your special occasion. Plus, there are three wedding venues and three reception venues to choose from should you want to take the leap together. Find out more about the venues in the 5 Best Wedding Venues on Kadavu.

Couples and honeymooners, you’re in for a treat at Matava Eco Adventure Resort! This gem on Kadavu captures everything you could want in a romantic getaway: rugged luxury, natural beauty, and eco-friendly vibes. The wooden thatched bures are scattered in seclusion across a hillside, blending perfectly with the lush surroundings. For the ultimate romantic experience, snag one of the hilltop bures. You’ll be treated to a private deck overlooking the ocean – perfect for intimate dining experiences under the stars. (Talk about setting the mood!) When you’re not cosying up in your bure, join other guests for family-style meals in the main restaurant and bar. It’s a great chance to swap stories with fellow travellers, but don’t worry, there’s still plenty of time for just the two of you. Of course, scuba diving, snorkelling, birdwatching, kayaking, surfing and hiking are all on the cards.

You can’t help but feel you are in the real Fiji when you stay at Oneta Resort. Each bure compliments the surrounding environment with spectacularly thatched bures with towering rooves. While any one of the bures or private beach villas provides a beautiful setting for a honeymoon or couple’s retreat, nothing quite beats the “Turtle Lair” sitting secluded on a ridge above the resort. Enjoy the expansive views from its private deck, snuggle in the Indonesian-style four-poster bed and watch the stars from your hot water outdoor shower. The resort owners can help organise bespoke weddings, as well as activities for honeymooning couples, whether it’s kayaking to a private beach or snorkelling with manta rays.
