YOUR OWN DESERT ISLAND

Malolo Islands Resort and Likuliku Lagoon Resort in Fiji are now offering unique luxury escapes for couples, in 2018 the resorts secured the lease of Mociu Island (pronounced ‘Moor-thiew). This tiny, private, uninhabited island is only a 15 minute boat ride from the resorts, Mociu is a protected nature reserve and the stunning waters and reef that surround it have been declared a marine sanctuary ‘na tabu’ by the Paramount Chief of the Mamanucas. Mociu Island is for the enjoyment of Ahura Resorts’ guests only.

There are options available for couples to enjoy this incredible island experience, guided snorkelling adventures to explore the abundant marine life and exquisitely colourful coral gardens, snorkel directly from the beach or from the other side of the island. If getting a sweat up is on the agenda then leave early morning for a hike to enjoy a perfect Fijian sunrise (a perfect setting for a proposal), enjoy a picnic to follow on the beach.

Daytime trips can also be planned, let the team take care of absolutely everything, lounge on the beach or go exploring to come back to a picnic lunch washed down with some bubbly, it’s the perfect setting to enjoy your honeymoon. Mociu Island is blissful, beautiful, private and romantic.

Barefoot And Laissez-Faire

At The Palm House, Vanuatu, time slows down, sea breezes flow
throughout the entire house, and every detail is considered. The Palm House features two stunning private beaches directly in front of the villas, as well as several more dotted along the property for you to explore.

12 kilometres of pristine reefs beaches, surrounded by 3,800 hectares of organic farmland could be all yours. This beautiful property has been privately used by one of Vanuatu’s oldest families for the last 15 years but now they have unlocked its doors so you can hold the key to this untouched paradise. There is truly no other place on earth like it.

For those who want to experience private luxury, you can book an individual villa or the entire house with your family and friends. With your own private chef, this is the place you can truly unwind and leave the rest to the staff.

Every detail can be arranged, from complimentary airport transfers, private picnics on one of the beaches, or a boat tour to one of the neighbouring islands, all with a personalised butler service. The villas are all about the details of a by-gone era, decorated in a colonial style, with subtle nods to the island’s history and style.

Within each spacious villa, you will find a private veranda each with ocean views, a beautiful day bed, a bar table and stools should you choose to dine in-villa, rather than in the house or in one of the private dining locations and there are also lounge chairs for you to
relax in.

The resort offers that ‘je ne sais quoi’ that will leave you wanting to return to again and again. Laissez-faire luxury awaits you at – The Palm House.
