Royal Davui Island Resort

From the moment we stepped off the boat at Royal Davui Island, being the most magical location, in the middle of the ocean with no one else around, we felt like we were being welcomed home by our very own island family. Every single staff member brought so much warmth, joy, and genuine care that it made our stay feel magical from day one! The food and drinks were 11/10. The variety and flavours were delicious — we’re still daydreaming about our meals! Our villa (like all the villas on the island) had the most breathtaking view we’ve ever woken up to. It felt like our own private slice of paradise. The daily service including the turn down service each night meant the villa was always clean and ready for sleep or for us to have an afternoon siesta ! The activities were so much fun, and the team behind them were absolute legends — friendly, encouraging, and always ready to make each moment special. The value and amount of inclusions are well worth it, with all of your meals and transfers included it made it so easy not to have to worry. We’re already counting down the days until we can return. We’ve told all our friends they need to experience Royal Davui for themselves! A huge vinaka vakalevu to the entire Royal Davui team for giving us the most memorable, love-filled honeymoon we could have imagined. Bekky and Tony ! 💙🌺🏝️

Not a week goes by that we don't talk about our incredible stay at Royal Davui. Royal Davui is the most beautiful and special place we've ever been. The snorkeling with the live coral was just spectacular - like a scene from Finding Nemo with the clownfish in the anemones. The entire island is surrounded by a vibrant and healthy reef, that you can access directly from the dock and beach. Just incredible! The food was delciious and we loved selecting our lunch and dinner at breakfast. The in villa breakfast was such a luxurious way to wake up. The cocktails here were excellent - the white lotus and tequila mockingbird were favorites. Truly out of this world highlight was the sand cay beach picnic - I've never been anywhere more beautiful in my life, and getting to enjoy bubbly and snacks here was a bucket list experience. We also enjoyed the outer beqa reef snorkeling and the sunset cruise. At the resort, we loved the crab races, cocktail tasting, live music, and sunset deck. The fridge in the room with cookies was a special touch. Everyone here was just so wonderful and welcoming (especially Paul, hi Paul!)- we feel like we've found a special place in the world and can't wait to return. PS: Marco at the air strip was great - we loved getting to chat with him while the plane arrived! Take the flight option in, it was great!

We spent four heavenly days at Royal Davui. We loved every minute of it. We arrived by small plane/boat. The transfers went seamlessly. We were greeted on arrival by the owners, Grant and Chris and the manager Vincent as well as the staff singing a welcome chorus. We were blown away. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed somewhere with a manager who was so friendly and efficient - Vincent is the best. The location is stunning, and all the staff are friendly, helpful and accommodating. Special shout outs to Vito, David and Ben behind the bar, Iwa, Sitiri, Luque on the guitar, and La. Everyone we encounters was so nice! We loved the Kava ceremony - it was such a lovely way to introduce us to Fijian customs and traditions. The resort is gorgeous, the rooms, spacious and well appointed. I loved how there is a separate bedroom and living area, as my husband and I get up at different hours. We appreciated the filtered water in the rooms. When I booked, I had a hard time deciding what kind of room to stay. We stayed in an Island Plunge Pool Bungalow which, while had a gorgeous view (sunrise), was SUPER windy and we couldn’t really sit outside because of the wind. Next time, I’d choose a villa on the opposite side, where the office/restaurant is because it is more protected and not as windy. Snorkeling is AMAZING. We did both the outer reef snorkel and the guided house snorkel - literally some of the best snorkel in the world, right outside the resort - Josh and Ben were great snorkeling guides. The food was maybe the weakest part of the resort but you don’t go for the food. Our goodbye was even more amazing than our arrival with a Fijian chorus that left us with tears in our eyes. We will be back!

What an absolutely phenomenal trip. Royal Davui Island Resort made this a fairytale vacation. We made so many memories here that we will remember for the rest of our lives. A picnic on a sand cay in the middle of an ocean, surrounded by mother nature and — hilariously — curious crabs. A sunset cruise where we all enjoyed ourselves so much and we both had deep thoughts about the state of the world and also detached from the world in the way you most hope to on a vacation. Hours upon hours at the pool, reading, writing, and thinking while sipping smoothies and cocktails like some movie. It really was a dream. The staff were absolutely next level: Lydia, David, Meme (both of them!), Ben, Sitari, Jacki, Mesui, Bill, Paul, Mela, La, Dee, and so many more. Things like helping with sea sickness, stocking us up on cookies, giving me a weighted blanket during a head facial, chatting about the flora and fauna, laughing and smiling through kava rounds, and just so much joy shared throughout. Also, they are all highly talented singers. I told Mesui that I could listen to him all day. Chill music while I worked. He is seriously talented. Really though, so many of them are. And the chefs! Wow. They are an incredible group. Royal Davui Island is a special place with very special people. It was an honor to spend a week there.

What an incredible resort!!! From the moment you get off the boat you feel welcomed and pampered. Food is amazing, staff is incredible, owners are so friendly and the island is beyond gorgeous with so much to do.. can’t wait to go back!! I can’t say enough incredible things, this place has set the bar for other vacations and will be hard to beat- Maya and Marc
