Why You Should Experience the Exclusivity of the Private Islands in Fiji
Why You Should Experience the Exclusivity of the Private Islands in Fiji
Imagine waking up in a beachfront villa, surrounded by turquoise waters, untouched coral reefs, and a gentle tropical breeze. If you’re dreaming of true seclusion, luxury holidays to Fiji offer something extraordinary — private island escapes designed for travellers who want more than just a break. They want a transformation.
These hidden gems in the South Pacific are not just destinations — they’re experiences built around privacy, indulgence, and connection to nature. With white sand beaches, world-class service, and tailored experiences from spa rituals to private dives, Fiji’s private islands have redefined what it means to travel in style.
Whether you’re planning a romantic retreat, a milestone celebration, or a peaceful solo escape, these islands promise an unforgettable journey — and the kind of luxury that only comes with space, silence, and exclusivity.
Why Choose Fiji for Luxury Beach Holidays
Fiji has long been the stuff of postcards. But for those craving serenity, style, and seclusion, it offers much more than pretty pictures. The magic of Fiji lies in its ability to blend luxury with authenticity. This is not luxury that shouts — it whispers. And you hear it in the hush of the palms, the lap of the ocean, and the quiet efficiency of world-class service.

One of the biggest draws? Fiji’s layout. The country is made up of over 300 islands, many of which are privately owned and accessible only by boat or seaplane. That means privacy comes naturally here. There’s no need to carve out space — you already have it.
For luxury beach holidays, it’s hard to beat the combination of soft white sand, warm waters, and air perfumed by frangipani. It’s the kind of setting that encourages you to slow down. Breathe. Switch off from the world and switch on to yourself.
Fijian culture also adds to the richness of every visit. The locals are warm, welcoming, and take immense pride in their heritage. Whether you’re learning to weave coconut leaves or enjoying a traditional lovo feast cooked in the ground, the human connection stays with you just as long as the view.
You’ll also find some of the most sustainable luxury resorts in the world here. Many private islands in Fiji have made significant commitments to conservation, from marine-protected areas to eco-conscious building materials. Luxury, here, doesn’t mean wasteful. It means thoughtful.
So why choose Fiji? Because it’s a place where barefoot elegance meets warm hospitality. Where privacy isn’t a perk — it’s a promise. And where every day begins with the ocean and ends with the stars.
What Makes Private Islands in Fiji So Special?
There’s something undeniably magical about being on a private island. In Fiji, that magic is magnified by natural beauty and world-class service. These islands aren’t just about removing crowds — they’re about adding meaning, detail, and depth to every part of your stay.
First, there’s the sense of arrival. Many of Fiji’s private islands are reachable only by seaplane or boat. As you descend over coral reefs and turquoise lagoons, the real world melts away. It’s not just travel. It’s escape, distilled.
On arrival, you’re often greeted by name, with song, fresh coconuts, and smiles that don’t fade. Service on these islands is deeply personal. Staff take time to know you, your preferences, and your plans — and they quietly make things happen without fuss. The goal is simple: you relax, they handle everything else.
Each island has its own character. Some lean into romance with candlelit dinners on the sand and outdoor bathtubs under the stars. Others focus on wellness, inviting you to reconnect with yourself through guided meditations, nature walks, and open-air massages by the sea.
Then there’s the food. Because private islands often grow their own ingredients or source locally, every meal feels intentional. Think line-caught reef fish, tropical fruits picked that morning, and dishes inspired by Fijian, Indian, and international flavours.
Privacy also brings possibilities. Want a sunrise yoga class on a deserted sandbank? Done. Keen to snorkel in a reef where no one else is swimming? Easy. From private dives to personalised spa rituals, the itinerary is yours to shape.
Of course, luxury on these islands doesn’t mean cut off. Many properties offer Wi-Fi, fine wine cellars, and even cinemas. But most guests find they slowly let go of screens, timetables, and the outside world — not because they have to, but because they want to.
For couples, honeymooners, families, or solo travellers, these islands offer something increasingly rare: space. Not just physical space, but mental space. Space to breathe, reflect, and truly feel where you are.
Top Private Island Resorts in Fiji
Laucala Island
Laucala is the ultimate in tropical exclusivity. Set on a private island owned by Red Bull’s co-founder, this resort blends over-the-top luxury with complete seclusion. With just 25 villas — each with its own private pool — the experience feels more like a dream than a destination.
Each villa is designed in a traditional Fijian style with natural materials, but comes fully equipped with every modern luxury. Expect private chefs, personal staff, and tailored experiences — from horse riding on the beach to teeing off on the 18-hole championship golf course.
What truly sets Laucala apart is its immersive approach to nature. Organic farms on the island supply most of the ingredients used in its world-class restaurants. You can tour the plantations, visit the spa for herb-infused treatments, or dive the island’s private marine sanctuary.
For travellers seeking absolute privacy, it doesn’t get better than this. You can even charter the island for exclusive use — perfect for weddings, milestone celebrations, or just living the fantasy.
If you’re considering a stay at Laucala, we have access to exclusive offers and added benefits through our preferred partners. From complimentary upgrades to resort credits, we can tailor your package to include exactly what you want — and even a few surprises you didn’t expect.
Kokomo Private Island
Kokomo is a sanctuary that balances barefoot luxury with eco-conscious design. Located in the Kadavu Islands, this five-star resort is a favourite among honeymooners and families alike.
The villas are beautifully appointed, each with its own infinity pool, private garden, and ocean views. Service here is intuitive and heartfelt — nothing is too much trouble, whether it’s arranging a sunset cruise or delivering your favourite wine to your plunge pool.
Kokomo stands out for its commitment to sustainability. The island has its own solar farm, marine conservation initiatives, and even a coral restoration programme. It’s ideal for travellers who want to enjoy luxury without compromising their values.
We have a wide range of offers available for Kokomo, including seasonal savings, extra inclusions for longer stays, and upgrades based on availability. Ask us about tailoring your trip for the best value and experience.

Royal Davui is a haven for couples. Perched in the Beqa Lagoon, this adults-only private island offers a blend of intimacy and barefoot luxury. Each of the 16 villas comes with a private plunge pool, sun deck, and panoramic ocean views.
What guests love most about Royal Davui is the pace. Everything is unhurried. You can dine when and where you want — on the beach, in your villa, or under the stars. The food is superb, with a strong focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients and Fijian flavours.
Activities here feel truly bespoke. Enjoy a champagne sand cay picnic on your own tidal island, snorkel vibrant reefs, or take a guided walk through the island’s lush interior. For couples seeking a romantic getaway, it’s hard to beat.
Through Awake & Wander Luxury Travel, we can arrange tailored packages that include thoughtful extras — from private transfers to exclusive excursions. Ask us how to make your Royal Davui stay even more special.
Turtle Island
Turtle Island is one of Fiji’s most legendary private escapes. With just 14 beachfront villas on a 500-acre island, guests are guaranteed space, seclusion, and personalised service on an entirely different level.
Every couple is assigned their own “Bure Mama” — a private concierge who handles every detail of your stay. Whether it’s breakfast in bed, a romantic beach dinner, or a guided hike through the island’s wild interior, your Bure Mama makes it happen.
Turtle Island also supports the local community and environment in meaningful ways. From reforestation to education initiatives, your stay has a direct and positive impact. It’s luxury that gives back — without losing any sparkle.
We regularly have access to exclusive offers for Turtle Island, including complimentary nights, upgrades, and special occasion packages. Just let us know what kind of trip you’re dreaming of, and we’ll make it a reality.
