Can our wedding guests stay at different resorts on Denarau?+
Yes. Denarau has several large beachfront hotels on one small island linked to the mainland by a causeway, so guests can spread across neighbouring resorts and still be close to the ceremony and the welcome drinks. That suits a large wedding where one hotel cannot hold everyone, and we keep the whole group on one transfer and event timetable.
Can we marry on an island and stay on Denarau?+
Yes. Radisson Blu Resort, Fiji Denarau Island can hold your ceremony at Malamala Beach Club, a white-sand island venue reached by boat, then bring everyone back to the resort for dinner. Back on Denarau, the pillarless ballroom seats up to 100 with a balcony over the golf course and doubles as the wet weather backup.
Where can the bridal party get ready on Denarau?+
At the Sofitel Salon, inside the spa at Sofitel Fiji Resort and Spa, which prepares the bride and wedding party on the morning of the wedding. Spa sessions for a hens group of 4 or more can be arranged in the days before. At Hilton Fiji Beach Resort and Spa, suites with split-level living and the penthouses give a family or bridal party room to dress together.
Can we serve a Fijian-style dinner at a Denarau wedding?+
Yes. Sofitel Fiji has KOKO for Fijian cooking and Bazaar Kitchen with 7 live cooking stations, which suit a relaxed welcome night. Radisson Blu offers Lomani Wai, an in-the-water dinner with kava tasting, and Signature Tables for private beachside dinners. At Hilton Fiji, Nuku Poolside seats up to 70 for a relaxed welcome night by the pool.
Can a Denarau resort host a wedding of several hundred guests?+
Yes. The Koro Lawn at Hilton Fiji Beach Resort and Spa is rated for up to 1,500 at a banquet, and the Grand Ballroom at Sofitel Fiji seats up to 550 and divides into 5 configurations, so a mid-sized dinner still feels full. For a smaller party, Radisson Blu's Ocean Deck seats up to 60 on the beachfront.
Are there adults-only areas for wedding guests on Denarau?+
Yes. Sofitel Fiji Resort and Spa splits its 26 acres of gardens between a family side and an adults-only side for guests aged 16 and over, with a kids beach club for younger guests. Hilton Fiji Beach Resort and Spa has 9 pools, 2 of them for adults only, and a kids club for children aged 4 to 12, so mixed groups each have their own corner.
