Dolphin Island
Dolphin Island is a secluded, private island in Fiji. The island is located just a boat ride away from Rakiraki, and the small staff can accommodate a range of hospitality and dining needs.
Now, couples can purchase a romance package with a four-night stay. The package aims to create privacy and total freedom for the guests and includes accommodation in a Guest Bure Suite. These rooms have timber floors, high ceilings, double sinks in the bathroom, an outdoor shower and private garden.
All meals and a standard bar are included in the package as well as transfers, two spa treatments, a picnic for two and a champagne breakfast. Guests will also be invited to a traditional lovo feast with Fijian musicians and will receive a small take home gift.
This package can be booked through March 31, 2016.
