But let me tell you, those four nights at Lomani Island Resort were pure bliss. And I honestly feel like there’s no coming back from it!

Our waterfront bure felt like a slice of paradise, the staff made us feel like royalty, and the huge choice of experiences on Malolo Lailai Island was enough to keep us busy between lazing around the pool and sipping cocktails on the sand.

From kayaking at sunrise to candlelit dinners under the stars, we honestly felt like we were on our second honeymoon!

Refreshed, connected, and absolutely smitten with the idea of traveling kid-free, staff had to extract our door key from our hand on check out.

We’ll share insights on what to look for, the top perks of adult only accommodations, and some insider tips to get the most out of your trip.

So, grab a cocktail (or just your travel spreadsheet), and let’s get planning your perfect Fijian escape!

What Are The Major Benefits Of An Adult Only Resort?

Let’s keep it simple.

A Fiji adult only resort is all about creating a space exclusively for adults, typically 16 years and above.

It’s an absolute godsend where you can say goodbye to noisy poolside cannonballs.

A place where sunset cocktails on the beach, private sandbank picnics, and daily luxurious spa treatments exist.

Not to mention, romantic beachside candlelit dinners straight from the pages of a soppy romance novel.

But why choose an adult only resort in Fiji, I hear you asking.

Why Choose a Fiji Adults Only Resort?

As parents of a rambunctious teenager ourselves, we’ve spent our fair share of time in family-friendly resorts.

But something about an adult only resort hits differently.

1. Peace and Quiet: No kids allowed. Plain and simple. Most of these resorts are very strict around this rule. By catering exclusively to adults, hotel staff create a more personalised and refined experience for you. They also have a dedicated focus on ensuring you are comfortable. You’ll find the staff go above and beyond to create an unforgettable stay. Plus, with fewer guests than family-oriented accommodations, you can enjoy quieter surroundings, less crowded amenities, and access to exclusive services.
2. Romantic Vibes: Think private villas, candlelit beach dinners, and strolls under the stars. Quite often the best Fiji resorts for adults will have a romance package like this. Look for one that includes experiences tailored to suit you and your partner.   
3. Luxe Amenities: Overwater bungalows, infinity pools, and fewer guests are an enormous plus when booking an adults only resort in Fiji. Restaurants and bars without Kiddy menus mean greater choice and delicious a la carte meals designed to make your mouth water. You’ll often find there are no restrictions around where you can and can’t enjoy a cocktail.
4. Exclusivity: Smaller, more intimate settings mean tailored experiences and that VIP treatment you deserve. On day trips off the island. you’ll find fewer people on board your boat. Often, hotel staff will go above and beyond to find exclusive snorkelling, diving, fishing and surfing areas away from the crowds.

There are plenty of adults only Fiji resorts to choose from, so how do you decide which one is right for you?

Best Adults Only Resorts Fiji: Where to Stay

I get it! It’s an island paradise, you want to stay in the lap of luxury.

Well, I’m here to tell you.. you can, you just need to be smart about it.

Looking for ways to have that Fiji adult only resort experience without breaking the bank?

Here’s a few tips to help you find the right fit for you.

Dreamy Overwater Bungalows or Cozy Fijian Bures?

You can pay extra for those boujee over-water bungalows. But while they look pretty in photos, they can seriously drain your bank account.

Instead, opt for a bure. A traditional Fijian bungalow perched on the water with your own private beach and plunge pool is just as nice and will come at a fraction of the cost.

One thing most people don’t realise, Fiji is not a ‘lie around your bungalow do nothing’ kind of holiday.

While there’s certainly enough time to enjoy the pool and amenities, there’s plenty to do and so much to explore.

Pick a hotel that is willing to show off this magnificent archipelago of islands (more to come on this soon).

Culinary Indulgence at Adult Only Resorts

Choose a resort with an la carte menu where you pay as you go, as opposed to one with a compulsory meal plan.

That way you have more variety.

Look up the restaurant menus at your resort before booking.

Once you’re on the island you’re at the mercy of the restaurant prices.

If they’re exuberantly high, you’ll end up broke and sick of the food but forced to eat it regardless.

Unforgettable Free Activities VS Worthwhile Paid Experiences

Check to see if some activities are complimentary. This will make a huge difference to your bill.

Make a list of all the experiences you want to do then look for a resort that has it all. That way you won’t miss out or pay extra to island hop to another resort.

You also want to check the add-ons before you book.

A lot of resorts advertise the experiences they offer.

Be aware they might not be included. And you’ll be blindsided by the price.

Exclusivity or Variety? Choosing the Perfect Resort

Choose an island like Malolo Lailai where you have a few different resorts.

Most allow you to go between them for free or for a small day pass fee.

This way you’ll have more food variety, different experiences to choose from and alternative bar options too.

First things first though, check to make sure the resorts are far enough apart that the island doesn’t feel too cramped.

Also, check the number of rooms before you book.

A lot of adult only resorts have crowded pools and limited amenities despite having hundreds of guests.

Choose smaller Fiji adults only resorts like Lomani Island Resort where they only have 30 couples at a time.

It’s a resort that ticks ALL the boxes!

FAQ’s: Booking A Trip To Fiji

Is It Safe to Travel to Fiji Right Now?

Yes! Fiji is known for its friendly locals and safety for tourists. Just double-check travel advisories before you book. Smart Traveller is a great resource for Australians, while Travel State is the best for those travelling from the U.S.

What Is the Best Month to Go to Fiji?

May to October is the sweet spot, with dry weather, sunny skies, and mild temperatures. Perfect beach weather, anyone? Having said that, this is a spot where the water is the perfect temperature all year round. It rarely drops below 24 degrees. Ahhh bliss!

When Not to Go to Fiji?

November to April is cyclone season. If you’re not a fan of rain or humid days, skip this time of year.

Having said that, around this time, you’ll be able to bag a bargain.

A lot of the resorts will be less crowded and on days with lots of sunshine, you’ll have some of the best surf breaks and snorkel spots practically to yourself.

Is Fiji Expensive for Australians?

It can be, but it’s all about how you plan. Flights are affordable, quite often Jetstar will have a snap sale where you can grab a return ticket for around $500.

Fiji Airways, another great one to keep your eye on for Fiji travel.

But when it comes to accommodation, resort prices can vary significantly.

Look for Fiji adult only resorts that offer a tonne of things to do with fewer guests on the island at one time.

That way you’ll get the true Fijian experience.

Is Fiji Better Than Bali?

It depends on your vibe.

Fiji is all about exclusivity and romance, while Bali is vibrant, fast-paced, and more budget-friendly.

Both are incredible, just in different ways.

We’d highly recommend Fiji over Bali if you want to feel pampered and excluded from the rest of the world.

Do Australians Need a Visa for Fiji?

Nope! Australians can stay in Fiji for up to 120 days without a visa.

Just ensure your passport is valid for at least six months.

Book that ticket and you’re on your way!

Can You Brush Your Teeth with Tap Water in Fiji?

In most resorts, yes. But if you’re exploring remote areas, bottled water is the safer option.

Having said that, during our trip to Fiji, we played it safe and chose to use bottled water at all times.

So, it goes without saying, stick to sealed bottled water for drinking as opposed to tap water. 

Most resorts provide a few free bottles a day.

What I Wish I Knew Before Going to Fiji

• Pack reef-safe sunscreen to protect Fiji’s marine life. This was a big one we missed before our arrival.
• Tipping is not expected, but it is appreciated for exceptional service. And if it’s one thing Fiji does well, it’s great service!
• Insect repellent is your best friend for those tropical evenings. Plaster that stuff on or end up looking spotty.
• Fiji time is a real thing. Relax and embrace the slower pace.
• What is Kava? It’s a non-alcoholic drink known for its calming effects, leaving you feeling a little tingly, numb, relaxed and uplifted. You may be asked to share a kava ceremony with the chief if you visit a local village.
• Learning a few Fijian phrases will go a long way. Two words to add to your vocabulary are “bula,” used to signal welcomeness and kindness, and “vinaka,” which means “thank you.”

How Many Days in Fiji Is Enough?

We spent 4 nights on Lomani Island and one night on the mainland of Nadi. We felt like we could have done with a few more.

5-7 days is great for a short escape. But if you want to fully unwind, 10-14 days will let you soak in the island vibes.

What Makes Fiji Adult Only Resorts Unique?

These resorts take luxury to the next level. Whether it’s the Yasawa Islands, Mamanuca Islands, or secluded gems like Lomani Island Resort, every spot offers that perfect mix of privacy and indulgence.

And who are we kidding? That’s the only reason we’re going to Fiji in the first place!

Picture stunning beachfront settings, the very best service, daily massages and an atmosphere that lets you disconnect and recharge the entire time.

For those seeking the best Fiji resorts for adults, these locations deliver on every single promise of an idyllic escape.

How to Book Your Stay

With 400 accommodation providers to choose from across Fiji, hunting for the right fit can be overwhelming.

Some of the most popular islands include:

• Viti Levu: Perfect for family-friendly resorts and the urban side of Fiji.

• The Mamanucas: Ideal for stunning white-sand islands and world-class surf breaks.

• The Yasawas: A dream destination for a true desert-island paradise experience.

To compare prices, locations and resort, browse trusted sites like Expedia, TripAdvisor, or book directly with the resort.

For the best deals, travel during the shoulder season (April or November), this is when prices will be more affordable.

Always remember to check the fine print for inclusions and cancellation policies.
