Getting There - Only By Seaplane

When Hollywood needed a tropical paradise, it chose Turtle Island, immortalizing its famous Blue Lagoon. Impossible as it is to accept that anything so perfect can remain so unspoiled, Turtle Island confounds the skeptic. Amongst its many accolades is the latest from the World Legacy Awards - it was named as one of the three most outstanding hotels in the world for taking a leading role in environmentally and socially responsible tourism. This 500-acre private island in the Yasawa chain, with its 14 powder-sand beaches, is devoted to just 14 couples who are welcomed as family and are cared for by over a hundred Fijian staff. The two-room beachfront Fijian-style bures are luxuriously appointed, with handcrafted furniture, four poster king bed and indoor Jacuzzi. Outdoor dining by lantern light sets the scene for magnificent cuisine, fresh seafood, organic vegetables and wines from the worlds' finest vineyards. A lifestyle rather than a resort experience.

The ultimate honeymoon spot on Earth, Fiji's Turtle Island has to be at the head of the list. Turtle is where both "Blue Lagoon" 1949 and 1980 movies were filmed, a completely private and enchanted island which only accommodates 14 couples at a time in traditional two room thatched cottage Bures with 21 foot vaulted ceilings woven by Fijian craftsmen, each one with its own Bure Mama to take care of your every need.

Turtle Island (in Fiji) is where Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson and The Bachelorette's Trista & Ryan spent their honeymoons. To say that Turtle is the dream honeymoon in Fiji of every new couple is an understatement. This completely isolated 500 acre island set amidst turquoise crystal clear seas, is truly a Hollywood version of a tropical paradise and your travel agent can make all the Turtle Island arrangements for you. Private treehouse resorts in Fiji are also available.

Imagine being able to play on completely private and deserted beaches, stroll through verdant tropical forests, and also enjoy gourmet meals on the sand such as lovo cooked underground, slipper lobsters and fish right from the local waters. And after an active day what could be better than a lomi-lomi massage from two expert practitioners at once?

Turtle Island was voted by Travel & Leisure magazine as the only property in Fiji to be worthy of the "World's Best Service" award and your travel agent can easily explain why. The food is designed by renowned French chef Jacques Reymond, who is generally regarded as the number one fine dining chef in Australia; the island features a 3,000+ bottle vintage wine cellar; and of course there is the Bure Mama who awaits the couple's every whim. She is assigned full time only to one cottage and to ensure that the honeymooners have everything that they need or want, including their privacy.

There are 14 beaches on the island, one per couple. And each beach can even be reserved guarantee you absolute privacy, so you can picnic, sunbathe or... well, it is your honeymoon!

For the ultimate in the ultimate honeymoon, the Turtle Island Bure to reserve through your travel agent is the one on Vonu Point. Set directly at the northern end of the "Blue Lagoon" beach, it is completely private as the nearest neighbor is over 500 yards away!

How much does it cost? As the old saying goes, if you have to ask you can't afford it. All inclusive rates hover around the $2,000 mark... per night. However, if you really want to make a grand splash or take along 26 of your closest friends, you can rent the entire island for a mere $275,000 a week! Good luck finding a Fiji Honeymoon Package at that rate!

Private Island Beach Picnic

Picnics

Turtle is a place for the young at heart; a retreat for couples who seek a renewal of the spirit and a return to the innocence of falling in love for the very first time.
Whether you're a honeymooner looking for the perfect place to begin your life together, celebrating a special occasion or just trying to escape from the world.

Enjoy a romantic picnic where a luncheon of lobster or other island delicacies will be dropped off for you by boat or cart.
Lose your worldly inhibitions. Read a book. Sip champagne. Work on an all-over tan. Picnics are a favorite among Turtle Island guests.
You may reserve one of our many private beaches or settle on the beach just outside your private "bure". Either way, you are sure to enjoy a sumptuous picnic lunch complete with your choice of wine, champagne or other favorite beverage.

Described as "hyper-romantic" (Conde Nast "Traveler"), Turtle Island offers everything from traditional Fijian wedding ceremonies to French champagne gourmet picnics on one of the island's private beaches in the effort to celebrate and rekindle true love and romance.

A honeymoon should be a private heaven. A place where romance wraps around you like a cloak; where you need make no decisions, where everything is done for you. Perhaps that is why Turtle Island seems like it was made for newlyweds. For surely there is no more perfect place to celebrate love than in our hidden Eden of empty beach and dark-leafed jungle.

The Beaches...

The island is blessed with 14 white, naturally occurring sandy beaches, 8 of which are available for private picnics. Some are naturally occurring palm fringed beaches. Some are adjacent to the living and dining areas, and some are totally isolated, bounded by high cliffs or set within a cove.

Your time on Turtle is your own, whether you want to stroll the beaches, wade in the turquoise waters, cruise from island to island on one of our sailboats or snorkel or scuba with a Fijian guide. Couples can reserve a beach for the day and enjoy a romantic picnic where a luncheon of lobster and champagne, or whatever you prefer, will be dropped off.

Lose your worldly inhibitions. Read a book. Sip champagne. Work on an all-over tan.

Honeymoon

A honeymoon should be a private heaven.

A place where romance wraps around you like a cloak; where you need make no decisions; where everything is done for you, and yet where solitude is as easy to find as the sea.

Perhaps that is why Turtle Island seems like it was made for newly-weds. For surely there is no more perfect place to celebrate love than in our hidden Eden of empty beaches and dark-leafed jungle.

"Turtle Island is much more than a resort. It is a place to fall in love again, with each other, with life, and with each one of you. Thank you for doing what you do; it is truly a gift."

Imagine on your honeymoon, waking to the wash and flow of waves, to a room fresh and glittering with sun, and a flush of jasmine-scented air over the bed.

Breakfast is outside, spread out on a polished wooden table beneath the palms, or left quietly in a location you request: breads, pastries and muffins still hot from the oven, fruits, juices, sharp-scented coffee and tea.

And the day lays itself out before you like a magic carpet.

Your time on Turtle Island is your own ... perhaps navigate a sailboat around the lagoon or let it float lazily in the sun, snorkel among bright clouds of fish, thunder through the rolling surf on horseback, explore a green-shaded jungle trail. Try saltwater fly-fishing.

Maybe just choose one of the remote silent beaches that ring the island, where a luncheon of lobster and champagne will be dropped off for you by boat.

The only thing that matters is that your honeymoon is superbly romantic and something that you will remember for the rest of your lives. When you decide that the day is over, imagine walking arm in arm back along the beach under a thick mat of stars. Your bure is cool and dim and the scent of salt air and frangipani washes over the four-poster bed. You may just decide for yourselves that Turtle is, as respected travel writer Andrew Harper says, "heaven on earth".

Gorgeous, Unforgettable Island Weddings

Beach Weddings

Imagine celebrating that special day in an exotic tropical setting; meeting your loved one on a white, sandy beach with a warm breeze stirring the air. On Turtle, weddings are special events, and some of our guests' fondest memories are of the delightful Fijian wedding ceremonies held at sunset on the shores of the famous Blue Lagoon.

The bride and groom may dress in traditional Fijian wedding attire made especially for them by the Turtle Island staff members. The cloth is tapa, made from tree bark and hand-painted with traditional Fijian symbols in tan, brown and black.

"Turtle Island is a study in contrasts. It costs money, yet the experience is priceless; it's strange, yet familiar; it's untamed, yet amazingly civilized; it's trendy, yet timeless; it's relaxing, yet you're always busy; it's laid back, yet time speeds by; it's beautiful, yet simple; it's exclusive, yet accessible; it's heaven, yet it's here on earth."
-At Liberty, Law Institute Journal, Australia
