We’ll admit it: we’re not the biggest island, and we don’t try to be. But when over half a million Condé Nast Traveler readers voted for the best resorts in the world, Royal Davui came in #3 in Australia & the South Pacific — proof that sometimes small, barefoot, and a little cheeky can beat out the giants.
What 16 Villas Can Do
Royal Davui isn’t built on scale. It’s built on moments. A plunge into your villa pool at sunrise. A sand cay picnic where the only footprints in the sand are yours. A night sky so bright you forget what a ceiling looks like. That’s what makes us different – and apparently what makes us vote-worthy.
Adults Only, Always
Here, there are no kids’ clubs, no distractions, and no cannonballs into the pool (unless they’re yours). Being one of the true adults only resorts Fiji offers means everything is designed around couples – the quiet, the pace, the romance. It’s a little rebellious in a world full of mega-resorts, and maybe that’s why readers noticed.
Food That Belongs to the Island
We don’t call ourselves “all inclusive,” because that conjures buffets and bottomless daiquiris. Instead, we’re proudly an all meals inclusive Fiji resort. Every breakfast, lunch, and dinner is included, but no two days taste the same. Fresh reef fish, tropical fruits, spice from the gardens – and sometimes lunch means a boat ride to a remote beach. That’s what we mean by Fiji private dining.
Why This Win Matters
This award isn’t just a line on a press release. It’s validation that a little island with a lot of heart can hold its own against the biggest names in the region. For us, bronze is a reminder that our guests – not our size – are what make Royal Davui shine.
