Fiji Honeymoons

Matangi's intimate setting on its own private island makes it the perfect location to celebrate a honeymoon. The 11 beach-front bures are well spaced apart and nestled amongst lush tropical gardens. The Tree Houses /Honeymoon Suites are original to Matangi and were designed for honeymooners wanting something a little extra special with added privacy.

One of the most popular spots for honeymoon couples is the secluded and private Horseshoe Bay with its enclosed beach setting. Take a picnic lunch, your snorkeling gear and kayaks and explore the best of Matangi above and underwater.

A sunset cocktail on the deck over the ocean and a private dinner on the beach with the stars and gentle sound of lapping waves rounds off the day. It all makes for the perfect romantic honeymoon in paradise.
