Dee’s top three highlights of 2024:

1. Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort, Fiji

Located on the island of Savusavu, this resort provided the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. With world class diving, incredible accommodation, top-tier food, service, and a superb nanny program & kids club that allowed us to truly relax for the first time since arriving in Fiji three months prior, this all inclusive resort is a paradise for families and couples alike.  For more info click here for our JMC blog

2. Tokoriki Island Resort, Fiji

A secluded haven with stunning private villas, breathtaking beach views, and the best massage I’ve ever experienced. Tokoriki offers indulgence of the highest level. The outstanding level of detail & the scenic helicopter ride from the mainland are just a couple of aspects which made my stay here remarkable.  For more info click here for our Tokoriki Island Resort blog

3. Swimming with Whales in Moorea, French Polynesia

Experiencing these majestic creatures up close was nothing short of magical. Another highlight was The Hilton Moorea overwater bungalows with glass floors, offering an unbeatable view of marine life right below my feet. For more info click here for our French Polynesia blog

Steve’s top three highlights of 2024:

1. Six Senses Resort, Fiji

This wellness resort offered everything from yoga to cold plunges and breathtaking beaches. Homemade juices, beautiful food and super sustainability focused. A must-visit for anyone seeking rejuvenation or a high-end wellness retreat. For more info click here for our Six Senses Fiji blog

2. Natadola Bay Golf Course, Fiji

Designed by Vijay Singh and situated along the coral coast, this course combined a stunning backdrop with a tricky layout. The elevation changes, pristine greens and championship quality fairways, made it on my list of top courses played of all time. For more info click here for our Natadola Bay blog

3. Wharekauhau Lodge, New Zealand

Located just outside Wellington, this grand lodge felt like stepping back in time (in the best way!). With elegant décor, rich history, and stunning views, it was a luxury adventure close to home. A high-end farmstay with luxurious comforts.
