1. Matava 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 Resort or enjoy an intimate elopement with a natural ceremony venue to die for. Say your “I dos” with your toes in the sand 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 honeymoon bure.
