Where to put a ring on it in Fiji
Have your Casanova experience on the island of romance, with these top spots to pop the question to your amour.
Fiji is where your bound to rekindle your love affair…or even pop the BIG question, because we’ve called it, the tropical island is the ultimate romantic destination.
It’s not just because its where Sophie Monk will be handing out her final rose of eternal love on tonight’s Bachy finale, but its also where Oz’s homegrown supermodel Mirander Kerr and Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel, as well as the Channel 9 Today Show’s lovebirds Sylvia Jefferies and Peter Stefanovic all honeymooned.
If you are pondering the thought of popping the question then congrats! But the real hard yards is in deciding where you will choose the proposal locale. Dotted with secluded beaches and magnificent islands, it’s no doubt Fiji is your destination of choice, but where on the island of love should you go?
To help, we’ve narrowed down the top five places to get down on your knee in Fiji.
Tivua Island, Mamanuca Islands
Take your other half on a 90 minute cruise to the picturesque Tivua Island. Surrounded by pristine reef, you can stroll along the deserted beach to come across a “message in a bottle” lying by the water’s edge. While your love reads the message “Will you marry me?” you can get down on one knee and present the ring.
Captain Cook Cruises offers this package for $583 FJD ($378 AUD) per couple, which includes lunch and a bottle of sparkling wine in a private romantic bure. Price also includes the help of a Special Events Coordinator to make the day come together.
Treasure Island, Mamanuca Islands
Starting with a helicopter ride to Treasure Island your lover will be able to peer away the window to read “Will you marry me?” written on the beach in seashells. This incredible proposal is followed by a three course lunch, set in a private bure overlooking the Mamanuca Islands.
Events Fiji offers island proposals from $1,597 FJD ($995 AUD) per person, including the helicopter flights, the proposal set up, a three course A-La Carte lunch, sparkling wine, a romantic private bure setting, 15 minute legs and foot massage and activities such as snorkeling etc.
VOMO Private Island
Give an intimate proposal at the exclusive stunning 225 acre island resort, with the help from Management and event planners. The island offers plenty activities such as poolside and private resident cocktail parties, Rocks Beach dinners, degustation dinners, gourmet picnics, snorkelling, diving, fishing and Meke and kava ceremonies. This take your fancy, head to Vomo Fiji’s website for prices and bookings.
LikuLiku Lagoon Resort, Mamanuca Islands
Basically heaven for couples, LikuLiku is an adults-only luxury resort with authentic over-water bures. Laze on their decks or in the separate bathing pavilion with lagoon views from grand bathtubs, or gaze out at the living aquarium surrounding a private bure. While the blissful bures would be the perfect setting for a proposal, LikuLiku can also help with something more extravagant – a helicopter ride and the groom-to-be’s intentions spelled out in coconut husks on the sand. To see prices or to make a booking head to LikuLiku Lagoon Resort website.
Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort, Savusavu
Jean-Michel Cousteau has unique and tailored proposal ideas. With waterfall and rainforest walks, private Island tours at Naviavia, or simply a romantic candlelit dinner proposal on the beach, you are sure to create the perfect proposal experience. To organise a tailored proposal head to Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort website.
But if you think your S/O might get cold feet, then you are more than welcome to whisk us away to one or all of the above with you – you’re guaranteed a yes.
