When one thinks of Fiji it is the essence of the South Pacific. However, most people think of the one island and actually Fiji consist of more than 300 individual islands covering the heart of the South Pacific. Here is “all-inclusive” pricing designed especially for those seeking luxury and remoteness, and wanting to know all the cost are included once the fun begins.
Vatulele (vah-too-lay-lay) is a five-star tropical superstar of resorts! The island is designed by television producer Henry Crawford and a partner, Martin Livingston. It is a place for weddings, romance, scuba diving and seclusion. Vatulele puts the X in exotic! Of course, for the non-romantic there is sport fishing for giant tuna, wahoo, mahimahi and other trophy species.

“In
keeping with the owners philosophy of providing a total escape,
Vatulele is an oasis of barefooted elegance. Tucked away
on a three-quarter mile long white sand beach, on an island
completely surrounded by a magnificent coral reef, guests
find an abundance of water-based activity: swimming, snorkeling,
scuba diving (PADI dive facility), sailing, paddling.. Also
included are tennis, volleyball, jungle hikes and visits
to the four nearby native villages. The spacious identical
villas, which are a stylish combination of Fijian and Mediterranean
architecture with thatched roofs are comprised of sitting
room, bedroom with king-sized bed, large bathroom and spacious
shaded terrace.
With an emphasis on international sophistication in harmony
with its natural setting, the menu features the use of
local seafood, fresh produce and succulent fruits. Dine
by candlelight under the stars or toast each other with
French champagne on the elegant terrace overlooking the
lagoon. No telephones, TV's newspapers, money transactions
or shoes make Vatulele a wonderful world of tranquillity,
elegance, beauty, and romance.” Credit
There are eighteen villas arranged in a totally Fijian jungle environment. Each bedroom has a king size bed with twelve glass doors opening into an inviting terrace.
Where more exotic could one go than Fiji for their wedding? The floral archways of island flowers and palm leaves outline the  couple and the Fijian Methodist minister as the evening sun goes down and the vows are exchanged. A banquet, complete with deluxe South Pacific Island traditional foods and atmosphere, follow the wedding. Included in the under $4,000 wedding is a 20 member Fijian choir, the minister, wedding cake, floral decorations, champagne, singers and dancers.
