Room Recommendation
Which room to book
The Royal Villa is the island's most spectacular accommodation — a three-level clifftop villa with a private pool on the uppermost deck, a sleeping area on the second level, and a private beach cove accessed by stone steps at the base. The views across Beqa Lagoon are extraordinary and the villa has complete privacy from the rest of the island. The Davui Suites are equally beautiful beachfront units with private plunge pools and direct sand access, and represent excellent value within the resort's villa range.

Day by Day
Your 7-night honeymoon itinerary
Arrival on Beqa Lagoon
A boat transfer from Pacific Harbour on Viti Levu's Coral Coast takes 30 minutes across the famous Beqa Lagoon to Royal Davui's jetty. The island rises steeply from the water, its villas barely visible through the tropical vegetation — an arrival that promises seclusion. A lei welcome and cold coconut water precede the discovery of your villa and the first swim off the private beach.
The Beqa Shark Dive
The Beqa Shark Dive is one of the world's famous shark experiences — a descend to 30 metres on a protected reef site where multiple shark species including bull sharks, tiger sharks, whitetip reef sharks, and nurse sharks congregate at a regular cleaning and feeding station. The dive is managed by Pacific Harbour shark researchers and is extraordinary. Royal Davui guests have direct access to this experience, which is available nowhere else in Fiji.
Spa Morning & Private Cove Afternoon
The Royal Davui Spa offers treatments in a hillside pavilion with views over the lagoon — a couples' 'Serenity' massage using Fijian sandalwood, coconut, and sea minerals takes 90 minutes and is one of the island's most appreciated inclusions. In the afternoon, your butler sets up a private cove on the island's least accessible beach with a picnic, snorkelling equipment, and a cooler of beverages.
Lagoon Snorkel Safari & Sunset Champagne
Beqa Lagoon has some of Fiji's most diverse coral snorkeling — the inner lagoon reef is accessible by boat and offers excellent visibility with a wide variety of reef fish, coral gardens, and occasional turtle encounters. Your guide knows the best sites for each tidal state. Return for a sunset champagne setup on the villa's clifftop deck as the lagoon turns gold below.
Village Visit & Cultural Meke
A boat trip to one of the Beqa Island villages allows you to experience a traditional Fijian meke — the fire-walking (vilavilairevo) that the Beqa islanders are famous for throughout the Pacific, the only people in Fiji certified to walk on fire. The cultural history surrounding this practice is explained by your local guide, and the experience is one of the most distinctive in all of Fiji.
Fishing Charter & Reef Picnic
The deep water beyond Beqa Lagoon produces excellent deep-sea fishing — the charter boat departs at first light and targets wahoo, mahi-mahi, and yellowfin tuna in the Koro Sea. Return in the early afternoon and the kitchen prepares your catch as a reef picnic lunch on a small sandbank accessible only by the resort's tender boat.
Final Lagoon Morning & Farewell
A last morning snorkel off the beach, a slow breakfast on the villa terrace, and the knowledge that you have spent a week on a private island in one of the world's great diving lagoons. Royal Davui's farewell tradition is a handmade Fijian shell necklace for each departing guest, strung by the resort's housekeeper team.
Honest Assessment
What to know before you book
The famous Beqa Shark Dive involves diving with bull and tiger sharks — it is safe and very well managed, but couples who are anxious about sharks should know this is one of the island's signature activities and may want to clarify their comfort level before booking.
The island terrain is hilly and some walking on steep paths is required between the villa levels and the main resort facilities — couples with mobility concerns should discuss the terrain at booking.
The all-inclusive package is available but should be confirmed at booking — pricing and inclusions can vary seasonally.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Royal Davui Island Resort good for honeymooners?
Royal Davui is one of Fiji's best-value adults-only private island honeymoon resorts — the combination of Beqa Lagoon's world-famous diving, a genuine private island atmosphere, and all-inclusive pricing at below Laucala or Kokomo rates makes it an exceptional choice. The adults-only policy guarantees a romantic atmosphere and the clifftop villas with private pools are genuinely spectacular.
What is the best time to visit?
May through October offers the best conditions in Beqa Lagoon — clear water, excellent diving visibility, and Fiji's most reliable dry season weather. November through April is wet season with occasional heavy rain but the shark diving continues year-round and rates are significantly lower.
What should we book in advance?
Reserve the Royal Villa 3–6 months ahead — it is the island's single finest accommodation and books quickly. Confirm the all-inclusive package and pre-arrange the Beqa Shark Dive orientation session (required for first-time participants) and couples' spa treatment at booking.
Is it adults-only?
Yes, Royal Davui Island Resort is strictly adults-only — guests must be 16 years of age or older. This is a defining characteristic of the resort and the primary reason the atmosphere is consistently romantic and intimate throughout. The entire island — beach, dining, activities — is exclusively for adult guests.
What's the best room type for a honeymoon?
The Royal Villa — three-level clifftop villa with its own private beach cove and a pool on the uppermost deck — is the most extraordinary accommodation on the island. The Davui Suites are an excellent and more affordable beachfront alternative with private plunge pools. Either choice provides a genuinely romantic experience.
How do we get there?
Fly to Nadi International Airport, then take a 2-hour taxi or bus transfer to Pacific Harbour on the Coral Coast. From Pacific Harbour, the resort's boat takes approximately 30 minutes across Beqa Lagoon to the island. Alternatively, a helicopter transfer from Nadi to the island's helipad is available for an additional cost.
