How to Propose in Fiji: Tips for Popping the Question in Paradise

A personalised message in the sand, landing on an island to find a message in a bottle, flying over a heart-shaped island… There are many ways to ask the big question in Fiji. What’s more, you don’t have to do it alone. Fiji’s resorts, air operators and cruise ships can help orchestrate your perfect wedding proposal. But if you’re simply looking for ideas, take a look at this list of ways to propose in Fiji.

There are so many beautiful places across the islands of Fiji; however, you may just find that you’ll find it simpler to drop to one knee when the time is right… Check out some beautiful places in the 10 Best Photography Spots – trust us, they also make stunning places to propose.

1. A Private Island Picnic

There’s nothing more romantic than pure serenity together in a special place. With that in mind, just about every resort that we list in the 25 Most Romantic Honeymoon Resorts in Fiji organises private picnics in stunning places, whether it’s across the water at a private island or in a secluded cove of the resort’s island. Enjoy refreshments and champagne after you pop the big question (and she says yes)!

2. Hilltop Hike

Some stunning views can be captured atop the islands of Fiji, making it a special place to ask your loved one to marry you. Resorts like the Tokoriki Island Resort have a romance coordinator who can organise your proposal, such as a hilltop hike at sunset with serenaders playing when your big moment arrives, for instance. Otherwise, many of the island resorts have access to fabulous walks to fabulous places, which you can tackle just the two of you. For something to arrange independently, tackle one of the stunning 20 Best Walks & Hikes in Fiji.

3. Helicopter Flight Over Your Message in the Sand

A helicopter flight over the islands of Fiji is a breathtaking experience in itself, but when combined with a marriage proposal, it’s a day your both never going to forget. Organise your proposal with Malamala Beach Club, where a helicopter will take you from Port Denarau over the island, with your personal message written in the sand, before landing at Fiji’s famous private island beach club. This can also be arranged with Heli-Tours Fiji.

4. A Private Romantic Dinner

Dining under the stars with the sound of gentle waves rolling in and tasting divine Pacific Rim cuisine… Does it get more romantic than that? Many of Fiji’s luxury resorts and adult-only resorts offer some sort of private dining experience with a personal butler and champagne, whether it’s on the ocean deck of the Likuliku Lagoon, in your own private villa of the Tokoriki Island Resort or at one of the many destination dining locations of The Remote Resort. Even if a resort doesn’t advertise a “private dining experience”, they are usually happy to arrange something special for special occasions.

5. An Oceanfront Proposal with Serenaders

Staying at the Sheraton Resort Tokoriki Island? Then the team can help make your dream wedding proposal idea a reality. A popular option is to overlook the ocean from the resort’s helipad and pop the question as Fijian serenaders gently play the ukelele.

6. A Sunset Cruise

Sunset just has a romantic flare about it. So ride the wave of sunset proposals by, literally, riding the waves on a sunset cruise in Fiji. Resorts such as the Six Senses Fiji and Lomani Island Resort offer sunset cruises around the stunning islands complete with refreshments and sparkling wine. Use that sparkling wine to toast to the rest of your lives together! There are also plenty of independent operators offering sunset cruises who will be happy to plan a proposal with you; check them out in the 10 Best Sunset Cruises in Fiji.

7. Stay in a Luxury Overwater Bure

There are many fabulous luxury accommodations in Fiji; just take a look at our 30 Best Luxury Resorts in Fiji. One of the most romantic places to stay has to be the overwater bures (bungalows) at theLikuliku Lagoon Resort, Marriot Momi Bay, or our personal favourite, the little-known La Dolce Vita Holiday Villas, and the list goes on in the 10 Best Overwater Bungalows & Villas on Water in Fiji. Perched high above sparkling waters teeming with tropical fish, the overwater bures make a beautiful private setting to ask her to marry you as you get on one knee on your private deck.

8. Fly Over a Heart-Shaped Island

We can not not mention the heart-shaped island of the Mamanuca Islands. Tavarua Island is, indeed, a heart-shaped island best seen from an aerial perspective. Book a helicopter flight, such as those listed in The Ultimate Guide to Helicopter Tours in Fiji, from Denarau and cater your flight to take you over Tavarua Island, where you can then pop the question.
