Fiji Private Island Resorts

Fiji has more genuine private-island resorts than almost anywhere outside the Maldives, ranging from a fourteen-bure honeymoon classic to a fully staffed island with its own airstrip and golf course. This category ranks Fiji's single-resort islands on how many other guests you will actually see, how the seaplane or boat transfer from Nadi feels, what the villas and the reef are really like, and whether the island earns its price once you are on it. We leave Fiji's all-inclusive family resorts and its overwater bungalows to sister sites and rank only islands with no other hotel on them.
