A ROMANTIC GETAWAY AT VATULELEFor your Fiji honeymoon, wedding, or romantic getaway, myTravelAgency.com recommends the five star Fiji resort on Vatulele, the Vatulele Island Resort. This is a barefoot romantic hideaway, an unforgettable escape to the world of thatched roofs and no phones. The resort was named Small Luxury Hotel of the Year. There are 18 villas ("bures"), each with easy access to the water and its own stretch of white sand. Twelve doors open to an expansive terrace, and from the living room you walk up three steps to the bedroom, with a king size bed and a dressing area. White washed walls are decorated with Fijian artwork, furnishings made from native woods and floors tiled to reflect the tropical ambiance. Large terrace pots brim over with colorful plants, and a hammock places you within view of the shimmering sea. One new bure, the POINT, is a super two level villa with a commanding view of the lagoon and the entire beach, and features its own fresh water pool. The POINT is the only bure with air conditioning.
Vatulele is well-recognized for its dining - American, Thai, Indian, Japanese - and because of its all-inclusive tariff, there is ample opportunity to sample their first-class wine cellar. By night, table are set under the stars and lit by lanterns and candlelight. Dining is usually communal, in the style of the Captain's table on a ship, but there are many options for private dinners - perhaps on an exclusive deserted island in the lagoon, or on the beach for two with moon and lantern light. Activities at Vatulele include exceptional scuba diving. Vatulele has been determined to be one of the premier Fiji dive destinations in the region. It is the only 5 star resort in Fiji with a dive facility and resident instructors who offer courses from beginning to advanced. See the Vatulele website for details and prices. Besides scuba diving, you can choose watersports, guided jungle tours, volleyball, and tennis. Wedding services are usually held on the beach at sunset, in a "church" with doors and windows created from plaited coconut leaves and flowers. Traditionally dressed Fijian warriors accompany the bride on a barge trip across the lagoon, and children toss flower petals in the sand as she is carried ashore to take her vows. The ceremony is accompanied by the mellow voices of a village choir.
One of the best ways to understand the ambience of this resort is to listen to the words of a previous visitor: "It feels like paradise, the kind you dream about. The island is pristine and undeveloped. This is the true getaway for an earthy, sophisticated type. . .
