Top locations to get married across the islands

Coral Coast

Located just an hour from Nadi International Airport, the Coral Coast is famous for its stunning beaches and family-friendly resorts. This pristine paradise spans 80 km of coastline, featuring white sands, turquoise waters, and secluded bays along the southern shores of Viti Levu. 

For couples seeking a barefoot beach ceremony or a sunset reception, venues like Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort and Warwick Fiji offer the perfect backdrop for a picturesque beachfront celebration. 

Mamanuca Islands

A chain of 20 idyllic islands off the coast of Nadi, the Mamanuca Islands are a paradise for water sports lovers and nature enthusiasts. A short boat ride or helicopter transfer from Nadi will bring you to pristine beaches and turquoise lagoons – the perfect setting for a tropical wedding.

The Mamanuca Islands are one of the most popular destinations in Fiji, so you’ll find an array of venue options and wedding packages here. Castaway Island Resort offers a secluded setting for retreat-style celebrations, Malolo Island Resort features versatile, spacious areas for multiple-day celebrations, while Likuliku Lagoon Resort provides an ideal space for intimate gatherings of up to 20 people. 

If you and your partner are adrenaline seekers, you can also include water-based adventures like snorkelling, surfing, or paddleboarding as part of your celebration. 

Yasawa Islands

Travel northwest of Viti Levu, and you’ll discover the Yasawa Islands – an archipelago of 20 volcanic islands with idyllic beaches and clear blue waters. Less popular than other regions in Fiji, the Yasawas are ideal for couples seeking more privacy for their weddings. The Yasawas feature boutique-style resorts with personalised services and convenient amenities, offering you a comfortable home as you explore remote terrains in the region. For example, our venue partner Navutu Stars Resort is a serene ten-bungalow resort with three white-sand beaches and a fantastic gourmet restaurant.

A beautiful way to honour your union: visit the Sawa-i-Lau Caves. Tucked away on a remote island, these ancient limestone formations are home to a romantic local legend. Once upon a time, a young chief hid in the caves with his lover after her family arranged for her to marry a rival chief. Each day, he would swim to the caves with food until they eventually escaped to an island to live happily ever after. 

Denarau Island

A charming island conveniently connected to Nadi, Denarau offers a wide variety of holiday experiences for its visitors. With world-class golf courses, award-winning spas, and a tropical-themed waterpark, Denarau Island isn’t just a favourite holiday destination – it’s also a sought-after location for conferences and weddings. Denarau features an excellent selection of five-star venues and resorts, including the Sofitel, all fully equipped to host an unforgettable destination wedding.

Savusavu

Located on the southern coast of Vanua Levu, Savusavu is a serene coastal town that offers a laid-back setting for casual wedding celebrations. Known for its geothermal hot springs, lush rainforests, and vibrant marine life, Savusavu provides plenty of options for stunning pre-wedding shoots and post-wedding activities. 

Depending on your chosen venue, you may even have the option to integrate traditional Fijian ceremony into your wedding. At Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort, you’ll arrive at your ceremony on a bamboo raft adorned with tropical flora and escorted by Fijian warriors. You can also take part in the Kava ceremony, which often involves chanting and clapping as participants drink from a coconut shell cup – followed by Fijian singing, dancing, drumming, and storytelling. 

Sonaisali Island

Just a three-minute boat ride from the mainland brings you to the palm-lined paradise of Sonaisali Island. With easy access to other popular spots in Fiji, it offers a secluded island experience without complete isolation. The best part about getting married here? The entire island is home to just one resort: the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hotel Fiji. Luxurious and exclusive, it means you could be the only couple tying the knot on Sonaisali’s picturesque beach.

Depending on your chosen venue, you may even have the option to integrate the Fijian Kava ceremony into your wedding. The Kava ceremony often involves chanting or clapping as participants drink from a coconut shell cup, followed by Fijian singing, dancing, drumming, and storytelling.
