How to Get to the Lomaiviti Islands
The main Lomaiviti Islands are located just off the eastern shores of Fiji’s mainland, Viti Levu – see How to Get to Fiji, making them a relatively easy island group to get to from Suva. The islands of Koro and Gau require longer flights from Suva. Here are some of the most appropriate transport methods for a romantic getaway or honeymoon in the Lomaiviti Islands. Otherwise, check out your alternatives in the 5 Ways to Get to the Lomaiviti Islands.
Flights to the Lomaiviti Islands
Flights to Ovalau, Koro and Gau depart from Nausori Airport in Suva, which has connecting flights from Fiji’s main airport, Nadi International Airport. Alternatively, check out other ways to get to Suva from Nadi in the 5 Ways to Get to Suva. Full flight details, including the airlines that fly to the Lomaiviti Group, can be found in The Complete Guide to Domestic Flights in Fiji.
Lomaiviti Resort Transfers
The premium resorts on Toberua and Wakaya islands offer personal 24-hour transfers between Viti Levu and their resorts. Toberua Island Resort offers transfers by road and boat between Suva City and Nausori Airport, while Wakaya Club & Spa arrange transfers from Nadi International Airport via charter flight. Make your transfer to the resort extra special with a private helicopter transfer to selected resorts in the Lomaiviti Islands. Learn more about private helicopter transfers in our guides, Where to Hire a Helicopter in Fiji and Where to Hire a Plane or Seaplane in Fiji.
How to Get Around the Lomaiviti Islands
Those staying on private island resorts will rely on the transport provided by their hosts, usually in the form of boat tours and excursions. Road transport is available to get around Ovalau Island, with a road running around the perimeter of the island. Taxis and carrier vans are based beside the seawall, opposite the church, in Levuka. Shuttle services run between the Bureta Airstrip and Levuka in time for incoming flights. Some accommodation providers also offer transfers between Levuka and the Bureta Airstrip if booked in advance.
Again, more details on how to get to the islands can be found in the Lomaiviti Islands Transport Guide.

Activities in the Lomaiviti Islands for Couples
Celebrate the rest of your lives together with some of the most romantic, relaxing and adventurous activities in the Lomaiviti Islands. On land or in the ocean, there are many ways to strengthen your bond as a couple.
Indulge in a Couples Massage
The most complete spa complex available in the Lomaiviti Islands is the Wakaya Spa on Wakaya Island. The spa is designed with couples in mind, with a couples treatment room to experience a range of East-meets-West-style massages and wraps using Pure Fiji products. While spa bures are available on Toberua and Leleuvia islands, their treatment rooms are only set up for spa treatments one at a time.
Island Land Sports
The honeymoon resorts of the Lomaiviti Islands are set up to provide a stress-free island lifestyle for their guests (with a few modern comforts). That includes sports to unwind and get competitive with each other! Golf courses are found on Toberua and Wakaya Islands, while Wakaya Island also has a fully lite tennis court. Swimming pools are also romantic places to relax and refresh together, whether it’s a private pool at the Wakaya Club & Spa or the resort pool at Toberua Island Resort, the Royal Hotel or the Ovalau Holiday Resort.
Explore the Waters Together
While there are plenty of guided activities available on the islands of the Lomaivitis, it’s the moments alone that you’ll treasure on your romantic getaway. One way to spend some alone time is by paddling out with one of the complimentary kayaks, stand-up paddleboards or, in the case of the Leleuvia Island Resort, outrigger canoes. These offer a peaceful way to explore the shores, secluded beaches and coral reefs without distraction – making you feel more connected with nature and each other. Kayaks are also available at Kauwai Retreat, Toberua Island Resort and Wakaya Club & Spa.
Learn to Scuba Dive Together
If you thought the verdant islands with white beaches and volcanic peaks of the Lomaivitis were stunning, then wait until you discover the underwater world. A diverse range of hard and soft corals attract amazing marine species such as turtles, eagle rays, reef sharks, eels, sea snakes and thousands of reef fish. While a beginner’s dive is a great introduction to the deep, you can take it a step further by learning to scuba dive together on a three-day PADI Open Water course at Toberua Island Resort. Scuba diving is also part of the activities at Wakaya Club & Spa. The resort is located near a protected marine reserve, providing access to a variety of dive sites teeming with marine life. Guests can dive directly from the beach, making it convenient to explore the underwater world. Learn more about what dive sites the islands have to offer in The Guide to Scuba Diving in Fiji.

Romantic Restaurants in the Lomaiviti Islands
Toberua Island Resort offers a fine dining experience with a local twist, perfect for couples seeking a romantic meal. The resort’s ever-changing menu features two-course lunches and three-course dinners, showcasing fresh seafood from island waters, locally harvested produce, and delectable desserts. With a full board meal plan, you’ll enjoy a tropical breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, while the half board option includes breakfast and dinner. For wine enthusiasts, the resort boasts a cellar stocked with Australian, French, New Zealand, and South American wines. The bar serves local and imported beers, spirits, and cocktails, as well as specialty coffees. For a truly special occasion, why not arrange a private beachside dinner?
At the Wakaya Club & Spa, dining is an experience to savour. The resort’s culinary offerings emphasise fresh, locally sourced ingredients, ensuring a gourmet experience at every meal. The Palm Grove, the resort’s flagship restaurant, serves up delicious fare prepared with local produce. For a more relaxed atmosphere, head to Baravi Lai Lai, an intimate beach house setting. Fancy a meal with your toes in the sand? Try one of the beach cookouts or arrange a private picnic on a secluded beach. (Don’t miss the chance to dine poolside for a leisurely lunch!) The resort’s farm-to-table approach means you’ll enjoy the freshest fish and seasonal produce, with meals often announced by the beating of a Fijian drum – a unique touch that adds to the magical dining experience.
While not so “romantic”, there is a small selection of restaurants in Levuka, as outlined in The Food Guide to Levuka & the Lomaiviti Islands.
Private Island Picnic
Get the “castaway” experience by spending the day marooned on an uninhabited island. Toberua Island Resort takes couples to a sandbank for a day of snorkelling, swimming and sunbathing. At Leleuvia Island Resort, they’ll transport you to the aptly named “Honeymoon Island”, which is an isolated sandbank for a private island experience. Finally, Wakaya Club & Spa can arrange private beach picnics just about anywhere on their private island.

Wedding and Honeymoon Packages in the Lomaiviti Islands
Fiji offers the islands of love, with most resorts offering a wealth of romantic experiences, honeymoon packages and wedding venues. In the Lomaiviti Islands… Not so much so. There are only three resorts that cater especially for weddings and honeymoons, but the tranquillity and exclusive feel of the islands might make up for the lack of choice.
Lomaiviti Wedding Venues and Packages
On the island of Ovalau, accommodations such as the historic Royal Hotel and the Ovalau Holiday Resort offer function rooms for you to create your dream wedding venue. However, you will need to do much of the organisation independently.
Alternatively, Toberua Island Resort offers a couple of wedding packages with a choice of decorated venues, taking the guesswork out of a destination wedding. For instance, the Lomalagi Wedding Packages includes a wedding coordinator, marriage license fee, celebrant, bouquet for the bride, lei or buttonhole for the groom, serenaders, witnesses, single-tier wedding cake, sparkling wine for the toast, a private candlelit dinner with sparkling wine and a 60-minute massage each. Venues at Toberua Island include under a floral arch on the beach, by the pool, among tropical gardens or under their open-air bure (Fijian-style bungalow).
Leleuvia Island Resort also offers a similar wedding package, including evening entertainment but minus the romantic dinner and massage. Their venue choices include a beach wedding or under their bure.
Lastly, the luxury Wakaya Club & Spa organises bespoke weddings to make almost anything possible on their private island. Their event coordinators can help with accommodation, catering, ceremonies, activities and photography.
See how these wedding venues compare to the 10 Best Wedding Venues in Fiji and packages with The Best Wedding Packages in Fiji.
Lomaiviti Honeymoon Packages
Creating the perfect honeymoon on the Lomaiviti Islands really depends on what kind of honeymoon you’re looking for. If you’re looking for exploration, village immersion and adventure, then check out our advice in The Budget & Backpacking Guide to Lomaiviti Islands (yes, these experiences happen to be inexpensive).
Finally, a touch of luxury and romance can be found at the resorts of Wakaya Club & Spa and Toberua Island Resort. Toberua Island, in particular, offers a “Honeymoon Bonus” for couples staying five nights or more. The bonus includes a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine, a Toberua sulu (sarong) each, and a 30-minute massage each.
