Turquoise waters, overwater bungalows, and the gentle rhythm of life in paradise—this is Fiji at its most romantic. Likuliku Lagoon Resort sets the perfect stage for couples to unwind, reconnect, and immerse themselves in natural beauty. It’s where luxury meets the unhurried pace of tropical time, inviting you to savour every moment.
Overview
Set within a private lagoon on Malolo Island, in the heart of Fiji’s stunning Mamanuca Islands, Likuliku Lagoon Resort is a secluded haven for couples seeking romance and luxury. Renowned for its authentic overwater bures—the first of their kind in Fiji—this adults-only retreat offers a perfect balance of indulgence and simplicity. From the moment you arrive, greeted with heartfelt songs and warm “Bula!”, Likuliku wraps you in the spirit of Fijian hospitality. Days are spent exploring the vibrant lagoon, indulging in exceptional dining, or simply unwinding in your own private sanctuary.
Best room for two: The Over-water Bure
Likuliku’s over-water bures are iconic, offering couples a one-of-a-kind experience that’s as romantic as it is luxurious. These exclusive bures are perched above the turquoise lagoon, providing uninterrupted views of the crystal-clear water. Each features a spacious deck with direct lagoon access—perfect for morning swims or sunset dips—and a glass floor panel that lets you marvel at the vibrant marine life below.
Inside, you’ll find a king-sized bed positioned to maximise the ocean views, a luxurious bathroom with an oversized bathtub and window opening up to your own private blue vista beyond (heavenly!), and thoughtful touches like daily canapés delivered to your door. With its exquisite blend of traditional Fijian design and modern comfort, the overwater bure is a dream come true for couples seeking the pinnacle of luxury and romance for a holiday or honeymoon in Fiji.
Likuliku’s Deluxe Beachfront Bures are a perfect choice for couples seeking a closer connection to the beach. With only 18 of these private sanctuaries along the shore, each retreat provides direct access to the lagoon and stunning ocean views. From 1st May 2025, an additional 11 beachfront bures will be available, each with a personal plunge pool, private daybed retreat, and outdoor shower in a secluded courtyard surrounded by lush gardens. The split-level design boasts traditional touches, natural materials, and stylish, unique pieces that reflect the beauty and heritage of the South Pacific. It’s the perfect setting for relaxing, unwinding, and enjoying complete privacy by the water’s edge.

Exploring
Likuliku Lagoon Resort offers countless ways to immerse yourself in Fiji’s natural beauty and culture.
Malolo, known to the locals as “Na Siga e dromu I Malolo,” or “The place where the sun comes to rest,” is a truly magical spot for witnessing breathtaking sunsets. From the shores of Likuliku, these sunsets become even more remarkable. To fully embrace the moment, embark on a sunset cruise where you can sip sparkling wine, savour exquisite canapés prepared by the chef, and enjoy the melodies of a Likuliku serenader, all while gently cruising around the island and soaking in the stunning views.
For the ultimate secluded escape, spend a day on Mociu Island, known as Honeymoon Island. This private nature reserve, exclusively for guests of Ahura Resorts (Likuliku Lagoon Resort and its sister property, Malolo Island Resort), boasts an untouched beach, thriving coral reefs, and unparalleled tranquillity. Enjoy a gourmet picnic prepared by the resort, featuring delicious light bites, sweets and fine wines, in your private beach cabana between dips in the crystal clear ocean. With the entire island all to yourselves, it’s a sanctuary of romance and bliss—a perfect retreat to reconnect and savour simple pleasures here in paradise.
Adventure further with an island-hopping day trip, visiting neighbouring gems like MonuRiki Island, the famous filming location for the Tom Hanks blockbuster Cast Away. Swim and snorkel in crystal-clear waters teeming with tropical fish and vibrant corals, or explore pristine beaches made just for two.
For a deeper connection to Fijian culture, join a tour of the local village, Yaro. This special experience offered by Likuliku Lagoon Resort allows guests to meet the community, explore the village, and visit the local kindergarten, where you can see the resort’s efforts in fostering cultural connection and support firsthand. It’s an enriching way to learn about the traditions and warmth of the Fijian people.
Likuliku’s commitment to sustainability adds another layer of meaning to your stay. Through the Ahura Resorts Conservation Foundation, the resort supports coral reef regeneration and has established a rehabilitation centre for the endangered Malolo Island Crested Iguana. Staying at Likuliku means contributing to preserving this stunning ecosystem while enjoying its beauty.
Couples will love
From the moment you arrive at Likuliku, every detail is designed with romance in mind. Watch the sunset with cocktails at Masima Bar, perched on its own tiny island, or stroll hand-in-hand along the beach under the stars. Treat yourselves to a couples’ massage at the serene Tatadra Spa or toast to your love with a candlelit dinner overlooking the sea and sand.
Likuliku Lagoon Resort is, naturally, the ultimate dreamy setting for a small, intimate destination wedding or vow renewal, where you can say “I do” with your toes in the sand and the crystal-clear waters as your backdrop. The resort’s dedicated team can curate every detail of your celebration, ensuring it’s a flawless reflection of your love. After the ceremony, stay on for a honeymoon that’s truly the stuff of dreams—secluded, romantic, and filled with moments of pure magic, surrounded by nature’s beauty and luxury at every turn.
Plan ahead for an even more incredible experience
Likuliku Lagoon Resort is about to undergo extensive renovations and will close during the low season until early 2025. This makes it the perfect time to plan and book your stay so you can be among the first to experience an even more spectacular Likuliku when it reopens in May 2025.
