1. Matava Eco Adventure Resort

This romantic resort in Kadavu is a favourite among honeymooners, but those lucky enough to have a destination wedding can also choose the resort for the big day. Either book out the entire Matava Eco Adventure Resort or enjoy an intimate elopement with a natural ceremony venue to die for. Say your “I dos” on a tree-lined deck with the waves lapping beneath you and without a sign of civilisation: just rainforest-covered hills and azure waters of coral lagoons. For your wedding reception, either choose the resort dining bure suitable for a feast for up to 20 guests or enjoy an intimate dinner on the private terrace of your hillside bure.

5. Custom Wedding Venues

Looking for something a bit different for your big day in Kadavu? This pristine island offers some truly unique wedding venues that will make your special day unforgettable.

Private Beaches

Kadavu is famous for its unspoiled natural beauty, and that includes numerous secluded beaches. Imagine saying “I do” on a pristine stretch of sand with the turquoise waters as your backdrop – sounds dreamy, right? Just keep in mind that arranging a beach ceremony might require some extra planning (and probably the help of a local wedding planner).

Forest Locations

For couples who want to take the road less travelled, Kadavu’s lush forests could be the perfect setting. The island is a bird-watcher’s paradise, so you might even have some colourful guests dropping by! A ceremony in the tropical woodland would certainly give you a wedding album like no other. It’s worth noting that Kadavu is one of Fiji’s less-developed islands. While this means you’ll need to put in a bit more effort for wedding planning, it also gives you the chance to create a truly unique and intimate experience in a tropical paradise that’s relatively untouched. When you’re considering these venues, we recommend chatting with local wedding planners or resort staff. They know the ins and outs of organising events on Kadavu and can help ensure your big day goes off without a hitch. (Plus, they might know some hidden gems we haven’t even mentioned!)
