Royal Davui Island Resort

Truly an amazing experience. The setting couldn’t be more idyllic. I have been to I’ve r95 countries and some of the top resorts and Royal Davui is at the very top level for service, quality and environment. It is difficult to find the place on search engines but it is worth the effort. It is a secluded island. The room and the amenities are top notch. The very best scuba and snorkeling is available here. It is perhaps one of the few very pristine places left. The staff beggars belief. Just so warm and kind at every turn. Can’t say enough about the brilliance of this gem of a place. Chris the owner has had a vision for the place that is rare. Sad to leave but alas the real world awaits.

Royal Davui is truly a magical place. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family. The staff are exceptional — warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. Everyone knows your name, and they go out of their way to accommodate you in ways that feel personal and heartfelt. The level of service is something you rarely experience. The villas are stunning — incredibly spacious, private, and offering absolutely breathtaking views. It was the perfect blend of luxury and romance, with an ever-present sense of adventure just outside your door. The food was outstanding, without question the best we have had while traveling. Every meal felt thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and consistently delicious. One of the things we appreciated most was the peaceful atmosphere. Being adults-only, WITHOUT the all-inclusive alcohol scene, creates a calm, elevated environment that allows you to truly relax, disconnect, and soak in the beauty of the island. The diving was second to none. A huge thank you to Su, our divemaster, who was absolutely incredible. His patience, professionalism, and encouragement helped my wife work through some equalization issues, making every dive feel safe and enjoyable. The shark dive was unforgettable — thrilling, awe-inspiring, and hands down one of the most incredible diving experiences I've had. We were also celebrating my birthday, and Royal Davui made it feel truly special with thoughtful touches that meant so much to us. When it was time to leave, we genuinely had tears in our eyes. That says everything. Royal Davui is romantic, adventurous, peaceful, and deeply personal — a place that stays with you long after you leave. We cannot wait to return.

Where do we even begin?!! We have never stayed at such an expensive resort but boy is it worth it!! And are already discussing our return! It’s as close to paradise as you will get. From Chris, the owner, welcoming you onto “fantasy island” to the staff serenading us with a beautiful necklace … to incredible meals … unbelievable snorkeling and the staff that makes you feel like you are part of their family … it’s been 5 days and we have 5 more. So grateful for this incredible experience!

Best trip of our lives! Wow! I can’t not write a review about our time at Royal davui! We went 18 months late celebrating our 20th anniversary. Ha! Everything was perfect. The villa was clean, quiet, and private. The staff was AMAZING! We loved getting to know them and feeling so well taken care of. And keeping us well stocked with coke no sugar 😂. We did almost every activity they offer. We loved fishing and snorkeling and diving and kayaking, paddle boarding and the massages and the sand cay picnic. Kava night and crab races. We went to church (10/10 recommend! The music was electric and so powerful!) and the hike and the village visit. The food was amazing and they did a great job accommodating my food allergies (gluten and dairy). The beauty of the island and reef and people were unmatched. We are telling all our friends to put it at the top of their short list. Best trip ever!

Could not have had a better stay. A+ staff, A+ food, A+ accommodations. We did our research before booking and this was better we could have imagined.
