Types of Honeymoon and Wedding Accommodations in Fiji

Of course, couples shape their own honeymoon to how they want it to be, whether it’s a budget getaway or a luxury island escape. If you are honeymooning on a tight budget, be sure to check out How to Find Cheap Accommodation in Fiji for advice.

Those looking for wedding venues or something special for their honeymoon tend to either choose one of Fiji’s resorts, hotels or villas. The difference between these accommodation categories is subtle, but we’ll explain nonetheless…

Resorts and Adult-Only Resorts

Fiji has an almost dizzying array of resorts that specialise in romantic getaways. Not only do many resorts have wedding venues set up, but there are also plenty of adult-only resorts or resorts with adult-only areas which are designed to set the right tone for couples. Resorts consist of freestanding bures (bungalows) which have hotel-like amenities. On the complex, there is typically at least one restaurant, as well as plenty of entertainment between complimentary watersports gear, spas, swimming pools, tours and excursions. Check out some examples in the 20 Most Romantic Resorts in Fiji and 20 Best Adults-Only (Child-Free) Resorts in Fiji.

Hotels

In Fiji’s more developed areas, hotels take the place of resorts, offering a bit less in terms of entertainment and activities but providing various grades of hotel rooms, at least one restaurant and a wedding venue. Hotels in Nadi are often part of the Fiji wedding and honeymoon story, where you can stay before and after your international flight. Check out some examples in the 50 Best Hotels in Fiji and 15 Most Romantic Accommodations in Nadi.

Private Villas

For couples seeking absolute privacy and more independence, villas tend to be a good option for honeymoons. Mostly located on Fiji’s most developed islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, villas are a luxurious option usually with a private pool and full self-catering facilities. Luxury villas also typically provide the services of a resort, including in-house chefs, organised tours and activities. Check out some examples in the 10 Best Villas in Fiji with a Private Pool.

Location, What is Nearby and How to Get There

Do you want a Fiji getaway with the ability to explore? Perhaps something more affordable that doesn’t involve overwater travel? Stay on the main island, Viti Levu, which is split into several exciting regions each with its own charm and amazing wedding and honeymoon accommodations. Compare regions in the following guides:

• The Wedding & Honeymoon Guide to Nadi
• The Wedding & Honeymoon Guide to Denarau
• The Wedding & Honeymoon Guide to the Coral Coast
• The Wedding & Honeymoon Guide to Pacific Harbour & Beqa
• The Wedding & Honeymoon Guide to Suva
• The Wedding & Honeymoon Guide to the Suncoast.

For a more remote island experience which includes some time-consuming and costly overwater travel (but when it’s for a special occasion…), staying on one of the outer islands is a good alternative. This is where you find some of your most picturesque islands. However, you will need to be prepared to be away from shops and services, solely relying on what your accommodation can provide in these less developed islands. Compare the island groups with these guides:

• The Wedding & Honeymoon Guide to the Lomaiviti Islands
• The Wedding & Honeymoon Guide to Vanua Levu
• The Wedding & Honeymoon Guide to Taveuni
• The Wedding & Honeymoon Guide to Kadavu
• The Complete Guide to the Lau Islands.

As for getting around your chosen island, while some resorts are close to the local airport or wharf, others require an additional dive or boat ride depending on how remote they are.

The Price of Honeymoon Accommodation in Fiji and What’s Included in Your Stay

When comparing wedding and honeymoon accommodation in Fiji, there are three types of inclusions you might want to compare if they are available: the facilities and services of your accommodation, the wedding packages and/or the honeymoon packages.

How Much Does a Fiji Wedding or Honeymoon Accommodation Cost?

How much should you budget for wedding or honeymoon accommodation? Let’s break it down for you.

Wedding Accommodation Costs

If you’re planning a destination wedding in Fiji, accommodation costs can vary widely depending on the resort and package you choose. Here’s a general idea:

• Budget-friendly options: FJ$250-$500 per night
• Mid-range resorts: FJ$500-$1,000 per night
• Luxury resorts: FJ$1,000-$3,000+ per night

Keep in mind that many resorts offer special wedding packages that include accommodation, ceremony setup, and other perks. These can actually save you money compared to booking everything separately.

Honeymoon Accommodation Costs

For honeymooners, Fiji offers a range of options to suit different budgets:

• Budget-friendly bures: FJ$150-$400 per night
• Mid-range resorts: FJ$400-$800 per night
• Luxury villas and overwater bungalows: FJ$800-$3,000+ per night

Remember, these are just ballpark figures. Prices can fluctuate based on the season, location, and specific amenities offered.

Accommodation Inclusions

Fiji’s resorts are not just about having a bed for the night but a full holiday experience. This means that there are often many complimentary activities and are sometimes even all-inclusive resorts, which typically means meals and some usually paid activities are included too. That’s why the nightly rates of resorts in Fiji vary so much, so don’t dismiss an expensive resort on the price alone. Look into the inclusions, the facilities and services to see if there are things that you would have been willing to pay for anyway, that are included in the nightly rate.

Wedding Packages

Wedding packages take the guesswork out of planning an overseas wedding, offering a range of inclusions. There are typically two or three tiers of wedding packages, ranging from a simple wedding with just the essentials to a full-blown celebration. Wedding packages typically include a coordinator, wedding license, tropical flower bouquet, buttonhole and decorations, two Fijian warrior escorts, a minister, Fijian serenaders, sparkling wine to toast and a single-tier wedding cake. Many more extras can be added to make your wedding unique. Check out The Best Wedding Packages in Fiji for an example of resort wedding packages.

Honeymoon Packages

Honeymoon or romance packages come in two forms: either they include your accommodation or they are an optional add-on to your nightly rate. For instance, a five-night honeymoon package included accommodation might include all meals and non-alcoholic beverages, a candlelit dinner with musicians, a bottle of sparkling wine, and a traditional Fijian massage each. On the other hand, honeymoon packages added to your nightly rate typically include something like a lovers’ bed set-up on arrival, a Champagne breakfast in your bure, a 60-minute couple’s massage at their spa, a private beach picnic and a room upgrade if available.
