When you’re ready to plan a fun-filled destination wedding in Fiji, this itinerary will get you started.
Day 1: Arrival and Welcome Celebration
After arriving in Nadi, take a moment to soak in the warm tropical breeze and the welcoming smiles of the Fijians who have a natural talent for making guests feel at home. Start your wedding festivities with a warm and joyful welcome celebration for your guests. Consider hosting a poolside party at your resort, complete with refreshing drinks and delicious snacks or a casual dinner. It’s the perfect opportunity for loved ones to mingle, relax, and get into the celebratory spirit.
Day 2: Pre-Wedding Pampering and Exploring
Indulge in a day of relaxation and pampering at the luxurious spa facilities available at your Fiji resort or one nearby, as most resorts in this area offer such luxuries. Treat yourself and your bridal party to rejuvenating massages, facials, and other wellness treatments to ensure you feel your best for the big day.
For those seeking adventure, venture out to The Port at Denarau, a vibrant hub that’s home charming boutiques. Wander through the shops and sample delicious cuisine at the local restaurants. Don’t miss the Monday-Saturday free entertainment from 6:30pm to 7:30pm — it’s a fun and lively atmosphere featuring Fijian, Polynesian, and fire-dancing performances.
Day 3: Bachelor/Bachelorette Party and Final Fiji Wedding Preparations
As the wedding day approaches, consider a fun-filled day trip to Cloud 9 floating platform with your closest friends in tow for a destination bachelorette party or mixed bachelor and bachelorette celebration. Enjoy the stunning views, indulge in delicious food and drinks, and create lasting memories with your closest friends and loved ones in this fab party spot. We usually recommend this a couple of days before the wedding so you can fully recover before your big day.
Day 4: Discover the Wonders of Nadi
Embark on a day trip to the Sabeto Hot Springs, located just 30 minutes from the Hilton Fiji. Immerse yourself in the natural healing waters of these thermal springs, known for their therapeutic properties. Enjoy a serene and rejuvenating experience amidst lush surroundings.
For an unforgettable experience, set sail on a cruise around the stunning Mamanuca Islands. Choose from reputable cruise operators such as Cruisin Fiji, Captain Cook Cruises, or South Seas Sailing, and embark on a voyage aboard a luxurious 78-foot catamaran. Bask in the beauty of the turquoise waters, pristine beaches, and breathtaking landscapes, and make sure to snap lots of photos with your wedding guests.
Day 5: The Wedding Day
It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for — the wedding day has arrived! Begin with a leisurely morning, getting ready, having some drinks and snacks, and taking lots of photos. Then exchange your vows against the breathtaking backdrop of Fiji’s stunning scenery.
