About this listen
In this episode, we talk about Royal Davui Island Resort and why it can be the answer to “Where should we go next in Fiji if we want true privacy and romance?” If you’re planning a honeymoon, anniversary, or adults-only getaway and want help choosing the right resort experience, start at Far and Away Adventures.com and connect with our team at https://farandawayadventures.com so your Fiji trip fits the mood you’re after. Normand Schafer interviews Grant Syhower, Director of Sales and Marketing at Royal Davui Island Resort, about what makes the property so special for couples seeking a peaceful retreat. Grant explains that Royal Davui was built with romance in mind and that privacy and seclusion are key highlights. He describes how guests often don’t even realize they have neighbors from one villa to another, and he emphasizes that Royal Davui is the only resort on the island—creating a true private island experience rather than a resort area shared with other properties. Grant shares the island is about 10 acres and walkable in roughly 30 minutes, and that the resort is intentionally intimate: 16 villas total with a maximum of 32 guests at any time. Each villa includes a private plunge pool, giving couples their own personal space to relax, while the surrounding lagoon and ocean offer snorkeling right off the jetty and the marine setting that makes Fiji feel like Fiji. Normand asks about how the resort balances relaxation and activity, and Grant explains that couples can choose their own pace. Adventure options include Hobie Cat sailing, kayaks, paddle boards, jet skis, resort fishing, diving, and more, while the resort also supports pure relaxation—pool time, a glass of rosé, and authentic Fijian hospitality. The signature experience Grant highlights is the sand cay beach picnic. He explains that Royal Davui takes one couple at a time and drops them on a pristine sand cay that appears only at low tide, setting them up with bean bags, umbrellas, and a picnic lunch for about three hours. He emphasizes the privacy of the moment by noting there are no cruise ships and no day visitors, so the sand cay feels like your own private island within the island. Grant also shares that he lives on the island and meets guests on arrival, along with his husband, who founded the resort, adding a personal welcome that many couples appreciate. The episode also includes a meaningful cultural connection. Grant says guests enjoy visiting a neighboring village on Beqa Island, seeing the school and community life, and attending a church service to hear beautiful Fijian singing—an authentic experience that adds depth beyond relaxation. Timing is discussed as well. Grant notes that May through September tends to be busier, often aligning with honeymoon and anniversary travel patterns, but he emphasizes there is no bad time to visit Fiji and calls it a year-round destination with warm water temperatures and beautiful conditions even when rain passes through. Normand asks what guests say after they return home, and Grant shares a repeated theme: “recharging the soul,” including a story of a guest who arrived depleted and left transformed after seven nights. If you’re deciding where to go next for a Fiji couples trip that feels private, romantic, and genuinely restorative, this episode will put Royal Davui on your shortlist—and Far and Away Adventures can help you plan the right timing and travel flow to make it seamless.
