Tahiti gets most of the attention regarding honeymoon islands to epitomize an ideal paradise. But its excellence is not unmatched. The South Pacific is home to a myriad of spectacular islands. And they are way less crowded. You'll see mind-blowing coral reefs, silky white sand beaches lined with swaying coconut palms, green hills, and even a waterfall or two. Fiji is a magical landscape brought to life. Journeying to idyllic Fiji is surprisingly accessible from the U.S. The flight from LA to Fiji's main airport departs at night and arrives on the island 11 hours later. You'll wake up ready to kick off your honeymoon without wasting any time.
Fiji is home to some of the world's most luxurious resorts, but which would be the best for you? Fijian resorts are smaller and more private, and they do not lack romance. Fiji has some of the sexiest resorts around, with a blend of superior amenities and unmatched seclusion. So how do you choose? I will reveal the best Fiji hotel for your honeymoon.
Best for Couples Who Love Watersports
Kokomo offers many luxe features you'd expect from a top private island resort. You will find infinity pools, outstanding food & wine, solitude in spades—but the leg up they have on the nearby hotels is their proximity to the Great Astrolabe Reef. The coral reef is one of the largest and most pristine in the world. Whether you love snorkeling or SCUBA diving, Kokomo can easily tailor the adventure to your desires.
Best for Stunning Views Overwater Bungalows
This resort's luxurious over-water bures (Fijian villas) offer spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. The bures are similar to those in the Maldives or Bora Bora. Sunbathe on your villa's spacious deck. Swim in the azure ocean waters directly off your deck. There is no end to the fantastic activities the resort offers: snorkeling, surfing, diving, sunset cruises, beach picnics, and more.
Best for Ultra-Luxury Lovers
The 3,460-acre island has plenty of private nooks and crannies, allowing for lots of alone time. Laucala is one of the most luxurious resorts in the world. It offers twenty-five thatched-roof villas spread out on the island's coconut groves and beachfront; each comes with its infinity pool. They provide unmatched exclusivity and very different settings. Choose from overwater, beachfront, or hilltop bungalows carved into the volcanic cliffs; each comes with outdoor showers, private pools, and butler service.

Available for all guests are kayaks, paddleboards, a glass-bottom boat, and a brilliant catamaran. If you want to get away from saltwater, head out for a waterfall hike. Are you dreaming of lying on a sun-kissed beach every day of your honeymoon? Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort isn't the best choice for you.
