Hiring a Driver in Nadi

Propose in Nadi

Popping the question is a stressful thing, but Fiji knows a thing or two about love. Operators are experienced with working with wannabe fiances to create the perfect setting, activity and additions to make your question a truly special moment. Here are a couple of ideas of how you can propose in Nadi.

Helicopter Proposals from Nadi

Serene sandy beaches, glistening waters and soothing tropical sun: the islands of Fiji make for a romantic setting to pop the question. For an extra special way to propose in Nadi, take a helicopter trip with Heli-Tours Fiji or Pacific Island Air to a secluded island where the team can help you create a memorable and personalised proposal. Have your pilot fly over your personalised message in the sand before touching down on the island for you to ask the big question. Toast to spending the rest of your lives together as you relax with champagne on the beach before being whisked back to Nadi. Alternatively, swap seclusion for a day of fun after your proposal at the Malamala Beach Club with snorkelling, stand-up paddleboarding, swimming and butler service in your own private cabana. Check out this experience with Pacific Island Air on Viator and Tripadvisor.

Romantic Dinner Proposal

Proposals are best done in a romantic yet private setting. A great option in Nadi is at the Fish Bar at the Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay where you can book your own private cabana along with a five-course fine dining dinner and champagne. The resort is also a romantic place to stay with adult-only overwater bures (bungalows) and an adult-only pool.

Honeymoon Activities for Couples

Whether you’re a newly-wed couple or have been committed to each other for years, these are some of the activities in Nadi that are perfect to spend some quality time together.

Couples Massage

If you’re spending your honeymoon in Fiji, no doubt you will want to R&R time. The perfect way to spend it together is with a couples massage. Day spas like the Nadi Wellness Centre and Surf and Beauty Spa offer a selection of massages mixed with relaxing aromatherapy and music therapy. Or if you’re staying in one of the romantic accommodations we recommend beside this article, most have their own spa with their own couples’ treatments.

Indulge in a Hot Spring

It doesn’t get more cosy than snuggling in a hot spring. The Sabeto Hot Springs just outside of Nadi provide a fine balance of fun and relaxation as you lather each other in wet mud, let it dry on the skin, then immerse in several hot pools fed by natural spring water to wash it all off.

Do an Island Excursion

Sail the turquoise waters of Fiji to a small and secluded island off the coast of Nadi. There are many day trip island excursions to choose from. Make things extra romantic with a private sailing trip with PJ’s Sailing Adventures to Serenity Island, with snorkelling gear, lunch, weaving demonstrations and a coconut tasting all included. This trip departs from Denarau Marina, a short drive from Nadi. Find out more about the tour in Viator and Tripadvisor.

Learn How to Scuba Dive Together
