Every so often, the travel world shines a big, glossy spotlight on a resort that already feels like a bit of a secret. This time, that spotlight is firmly planted on Royal Davui Island Resort, Fiji. The Knot has officially named us in their “28 Top Adults-Only All-Inclusive Resorts in the World.” Cue the Champagne (don’t worry, it’s already chilled).
For us, it’s not just an accolade—it’s confirmation that our tiny speck of paradise in the South Pacific is holding its own among the very best luxury escapes in the world. And honestly? We’re more than okay with that.
What Makes Royal Davui So Special?
Let’s start with the obvious: we’re small. Intimate. Boutique. Pick your favorite word for “not a giant mega-resort.” With just 16 villas tucked away on a private island, we’re more “secret hideaway” than “mass-market holiday.” That’s the whole point. Guests come here for peace, space, and the luxury of not having to share their sunset with 500 other people jostling for the same selfie spot.
And when we say “luxury,” we don’t mean velvet ropes and snooty service. We mean barefoot luxury: plunge pools on your villa deck, private dining on a sand cay that disappears at high tide, and the freedom to go diving with sharks in the morning before settling into a lazy hammock nap in the afternoon.
Adults-Only Bliss in the Heart of Fiji
Let’s be clear—Royal Davui isn’t for everyone. And that’s by design. As an adults-only resort in Fiji, we’ve carved out a space for travelers who want a little sophistication with their sunshine. That means no cannonballs in the pool (unless they’re yours), no sticky fingers on the dessert buffet, and no early wake-ups thanks to someone else’s toddler. We love kids, truly—we just know that our guests sometimes prefer their soundtrack to be waves and cocktails clinking, not baby monitors.
Why The Knot Loves Royal Davui
So what exactly caught the attention of The Knot? Maybe it was the private plunge pools in every villa. Maybe it was the fact that every single guest is treated like family (albeit the kind of family that brings you Champagne in a coconut shell if you ask nicely). Or maybe it’s because our setting looks like someone turned up the saturation dial on the South Pacific and then forgot to turn it back down.
The truth? It’s probably all of the above. Royal Davui is that rare mix of indulgent and unpretentious, private yet welcoming. And that balance is hard to beat.
All-Inclusive Dining, Diving, and Daydreaming
“All-inclusive” means a lot of things in a lot of places. Here, it means all meals included, and not just any meals. We’re talking about market-fresh seafood, tropical fruits you’ll actually crave back home, and menus that change daily so you never get déjà vu at dinner. Think less “buffet line” and more “chef-crafted, ocean-to-table goodness.”
Add to that world-class diving just minutes away, with Fiji’s famous Beqa Lagoon right on our doorstep, and you start to see why “daydreaming” isn’t just a pastime here—it’s practically a requirement.
The Ultimate Fiji Honeymoon Hideaway
If we had a dollar for every couple who arrived at Royal Davui on their honeymoon, we’d probably build another island. (Kidding. Sort of.) But it makes sense: there’s just something about this place that turns a honeymoon into an actual honeymoon. Maybe it’s the private villas with their swoon-worthy views. Maybe it’s the adults-only policy. Or maybe it’s just that Fiji itself has a way of sprinkling a little extra magic into the air. Whatever the case, it works.
That’s why when people Google “luxury Fiji honeymoon,” they often land right here. And if you’re still on the fence about where to escape after saying “I do”—let’s just say there’s a reason we keep being recommended by the world’s top travel experts.
Private Pool Villas & Bungalows with a View
Yes, we’re all about the ocean. But sometimes you want your own slice of water without leaving your villa. Enter: our private pool villas in Fiji. Each villa comes with its own plunge pool perched above the coral coast, so you can float with a view, sip a cocktail without ever putting on shoes, and still feel like you’ve discovered your own secret lagoon.
It’s like Fiji turned the romance up to 11 and handed you the remote.
A World-Class Escape in the South Pacific
Being recognized by The Knot isn’t just about bragging rights (although we’ll happily take those). It’s a reminder that travelers from around the world are still seeking out those one-of-a-kind places where luxury and authenticity live side by side. For us, that’s what Royal Davui has always been about: no gimmicks, no cookie-cutter packages—just a small island that feels like it was made for you.
So yes, we’re raising a toast to this award. But we’re also raising it to our guests, past and future, who keep the magic alive every time they choose Royal Davui as their escape. After all, the award may have our name on it, but the experience is really all yours.
Ready to plan your own all-inclusive Fiji escape? Whether it’s a honeymoon, anniversary, or just an overdue holiday, Royal Davui Island Resort is here to prove why being adults-only, boutique, and barefoot-luxurious is exactly what the world needs right now.
