Our Readers' Favorite Resorts in the South Pacific of 2025

"This beachfront hideaway reserves just 36 standalone villas for guests 16 and over, creating a grown-up, relaxed Fijian atmosphere with lush gardens and thatched-roof buildings. The on-site luxury spa is a major draw—offering indulgent options such as a three-day unlimited massage package—while active guests can enjoy paddleboarding and snorkeling. Cultural and social programming is robust, from basket weaving and guided herbal-medicine walks to petanque and communal teppanyaki meals; couples can also opt for intimate experiences like a private seafood tasting menu served on the jetty. Readers describe it as exceptionally magical." - Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning is the special projects and surveys editor at Travel + Leisure, where she has been on staff since 2018.
