Here are our top five picks to unwind with your significant other.

has a series of celebrity-style villas tucked away in lush tropical bush overlooking the Beqa reef.

The resort sits on the south coast of Fiji's main island, near Pacific Harbour. Most guests take the resort's private plane (a small Cessna) to the Pacific Harbour Airstrip, where you then transfer to a launch to reach the island. It’s a royal welcome that only continues when you arrive.

After a welcome song, you'll be taken straight up to your private villa, complete with two wings. The bedroom wing comes complete with a spa bath and plush bed. The other has a lounge and a mini-bar stocked with unlimited beverages and freshly baked cookies.

Dividing the two wings is a heated plunge pool overlooking the ocean.

The hotel has exceptional snorkelling just off its main wharf and a private sandbar just a few kilometres away, which is used for romantic picnics. There you’ll find two chairs, an umbrella, a bottle of champagne and a platter waiting for your arrival. You have two hours to swim, sunbathe or just relax.

looks like it's straight from the Maldives, with a string of overwater villas atop a turquoise lagoon, set against a coconut-fringed white sandy beach.

The overwater rooms are seriously opulent, with a bath set against a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the ocean. You can also watch "Sea-NN" through a glass panel on the floor or get straight in the water from your villa.

If you're not overwater, you won't be disappointed. The beachfront bures come complete with a massive Balinese-style daybed overlooking the lagoon.

The resort also has access to one of the country's most iconic attractions. Monuriki Island is less than 20 minutes away and is where the Tom Hanks blockbuster was filmed. The resort has a private boat that's able to drop you at the island, but unlike Hanks, you'll have a luxury island to escape to when you're done.

While Monuriki is undoubtedly worth a visit, Likuliku's best-kept secret is Honeymoon Island. It sits just a short boat ride from the resort, and only one couple can rent the island at a time. Here you'll be treated to a champagne lunch and can explore the island and its surrounding waters at your leisure.

This adults-only retreat is nestled in the Mamanuca Islands and has won too many awards to list. It’s consistently TripAdvisor's top-rated adults-only resort in Fiji and has even been named one of the best resorts in the world.

The resort has 36 bures and villas, all with indoor and outdoor showers. The opulent beachfront pool villas come complete with a private infinity pool overlooking the water, cabana and double day bed.

The luxurious pool villas are like a miniature resort in themselves, complete with a private cabana for daily massages.

All rooms are designed to be a place to relax and unwind– none have television, internet or phones. If you’re after a connection to the modern world, the main lobby will provide you access – but in reality, you won't want to leave your bure unless you're heading out for a swim.

The main spa has an unlimited massage package, which is always popular.

This four-star private island is one of the more affordable options, with resort rooms starting around $450.

The island is situated in a marine sanctuary, meaning fantastic snorkelling just off the main beach. You can also take a kayak or Hobie Cat to explore the sounding area.

The island is also home to a luxurious spa, with stunning sea views.

This five-star retreat is one of the more remote options, but the effort to get there is worth it.

This island has a series of tree houses in the jungle overlooking sapphire waters. It's also home to an enormous secret cove, known as Horseshoe Bay – so beautiful it's been named one of the top 1000 places to see in the world.

Getting to this slice of paradise is quite the adventure; you’ll need to take a 90-minute flight to the. It's known as Fiji's Garden Island because of its Jurassic-like hinterland, which was sculpted over the centuries by 150 volcanic cones dotted around the island.

Once there, you’ll be met by a private car which will transfer you to a boat, where you'll be taken to a 240-acre private island. It’s a half-day of travel, full of spectacular sightseeing.

The resort has just 12 rooms, including the tree houses – which are the most popular. These magnificent rooms are surrounded by lush forest, with a grand four-post bed, sun deck, jacuzzi and outdoor "lava rock" shower. You also get ocean views from your balcony.

The island has everything you'd expect from a luxury hotel, such as an impressive pool and luxury loungers dotted among the coconut trees. You can also go kayaking and paddleboarding.

Make sure to spend at least a few nights here; you’ll have a day of travel to and from the island, so you want to ensure you have enough time to unwind.
