Whether you choose Fiji or Vanuatu, these Pacific gems are the perfect place to spend your honeymoon.
If you’re thinking about ‘going island’ for your honeymoon, there are enough beautiful spots in the Pacific to let you have a tailor-made holiday.
Fiji
There’s only so many ways one can describe the sea - aqua and turquoise don’t cut it for the plethora of hues in these waters. Only a third of Fiji is inhabited, which means plenty of secluded beaches and coves for honeymooners or that perfect beach wedding.
The islands lie in a horseshoe shape covering more than a million square kilometres of Pacific Ocean, with the same time zone as New Zealand - so don’t worry about jetlag.
Things to do
Spend your days snorkelling rocky outcrops, reef breaks and lagoons and playing with fish of every colour. When out of the water, glide atop it in catamarans or kayak the coastline. It’s all part of the service and included in the prices of most resorts.
Destination wedding in Fiji
Weddings are big business here. Most resorts have coordinators who will sort out the finer details for brides wanting to tie the knot on a sandy beach, cliff-side chapel or hill top at sunset - all to the glorious sounds of a Fijian choir. It’s the music that makes the difference.
Vanuatu
To the far west of Fiji, sit the islands of Vanuatu in the Coral Sea. With similar waters and landscape to Fiji, Vanuatu differs vastly in culture. Four main native cultures exist within Vanuatu with 113 distinct languages and dialects. French is the main western culture and the influence is obvious in the island’s cuisine.
Things to do
Explore all that Vanuatu has while you’re on your romantic honeymoon. Make the most of the amazing fresh waterfalls in Vanuatu’s rainforests. There are 83 islands in Vanuatu. The main island of Port Vila is a city on a harbour with beach-side activities, restaurants, shopping and more to do than the outer islands which are all about relaxing.
Destination wedding in Vanuatu
To marry in Vanuatu all you need is your passport and witnesses to prove your identity. You need to be in the country three days before the wedding and lodge your application 28 days before.
