Written by Vacation Idea.com Travel Editors.
Yasawa, which in Fijian means heaven, is a tropical island in Fiji with 11 white-sand beaches, numerous dive sites and native villages. Yasawa Island Resort offers just 16 luxury bures and is one the most secluded resorts in the South Pacific.
Resort accommodations are spacious with a separate lounge and ample deck space where guests can take an outdoor shower and relax in a hammock. The Lomalagi Bure was especially designed for honeymooners with an outdoor dining area and a rock water feature.
Guests spend their days exploring the beaches, getting a massage, game fishing, kayaking and scuba diving.
Food at Yasawa Island Resort is prepared using fresh local seafood, vegetables and tropical fruit. Dishes are light and artfully presented in a casual ambiance.
If you wish to get married on a beach, Yasawa Island Resort can arrange a romantic wedding, which will include beautiful floral decorations and a Fijian choir (wedding packages start at US $1,850).
