1. Emaho Sekawa Resort

Nestled in pristine tropical rainforest where native bird calls echo as you eat breakfast, the Emaho Sekawa Resort is a five-star paradise on Vanua Levu. Accommodation consists of two luxury villas and a “Grand Residence”. The villas boast private infinity pools, day beds and expansive decks among private tropical gardens, while the Grand Residence covers a whopping 420 m² (4,520 ft²) with outdoor showers, an open-air lounge and a real home-away-from-home feel. We especially recommend the resort for luxury weddings, honeymoons or a single’s getaway giving you a luxury location to reconnect with each other or yourself.

2. Namale Resort & Spa

Amidst 525 acres (212 ha) of tropical beauty on the northern shores of Vanua Levu, Namale Resort & Spa is a five-star paradise exclusively for adults. It has been the choice of the rich and famous for many years and continues to be a top luxury destination in Fiji. Guests have a wide range of authentically designed bures and villas to choose from, from the “Honeymoon Bure” secluded with a private plunge pool to, our person favourite, the “Luxury Grand Villa” with two bedrooms and a sophisticated infinity-edge pool. Needless to say, the luxury resort is all-inclusive with unlimited access to its 9-hole golf course, Namale Spa Hydrotherapy Room, nightly cultural entertainment and much more. Plus, all beverages, including alcohol, are included. Learn more about the resort’s spa in 10 Best Spas in Fiji.

3. Savasi Island Resort

Stay in a secluded villa perched on a volcanic uplift with a private infinity pool or in one of five staterooms of a 140 ft (43 m) three-masted schooner at the Savasi Island Resort. While it’s the first resort on our list without the “five-star” label, the sophisticated accommodation to the private-island ambience certainly makes you feel five stars. The resort offers a wide range of unforgettable experiences, including helicopter flights, fishing, cultural immersion, moonlight snorkelling, village visits and, of course, scuba diving.

4. Nukubati Great Sea Reef

A private island resort set moments away from the scuba diving mecca of the Great Sea Reef, Nukubati Great Sea Reef is well worth considering for adventure and romance. With only seven couples staying at the resort at one time, the atmosphere is that of complete tranquillity. Nukubati is Fijian-owned and operated, making accessibility to the local culture extremely accessible and authentic, from your traditional Fijian Bobo massage to visiting the island’s Fijian village. We also love the resort’s eco-friendly philosophy shown through its organic gardens, not to mention having one of the largest solar power plants in Fiji. As for accommodation, the choice is made simple. Choose between their “Beachfront Suites” or add some extra romance in their “Honeymoon Beachfront Bure”. Speaking of which, why not check out our 10 Most Romantic Resorts on Vanua Levu.

5. The Remote Resort

Everyone is welcome here, from newlyweds to families, yet each group can still experience their own privacy that comes with a boutique accommodation such as The Remote Resort. Indulge in one of the eight remote luxury villas dotted among coconut palms on a remote peninsula that reinforces the resort’s name. Whichever of the private pool villas you choose to stay in, you’ll only want to spend minimal time there when the famed Rainbow Reef is right on your doorstep. Needless to say, snorkelling or scuba diving is a must! Additionally, enjoy swimming with manta rays, fishing charters, castaway beach experiences and much more.

Note that although this resort is located on Vanua Levu, its remote location is easier to get from Taveuni – just a 20-minute boat ride.
