Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort, Fiji

Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort, Fiji is one of those rare places that balances adventure, relaxation and family-friendly luxury exceptionally well.

Located in Savusavu, it offers excellent accommodation, warm service, quality dining and access to world-class diving. It is especially appealing for families thanks to its strong children’s programme and nanny support, which gives parents the chance to properly relax while still enjoying a premium island holiday.

For travellers wanting a Fiji resort that combines comfort, service and genuine ease, this is one of our favourite options.

Swimming with whales in Moorea, French Polynesia

Swimming with whales in Moorea is one of the most remarkable experiences we recommend in French Polynesia.

There is something unforgettable about seeing these animals in their natural environment, and it transforms a beautiful island holiday into something even more meaningful. It is the kind of experience that stays with you long after the trip is over.

A wonderful base for this part of the journey is Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort & Spa, where overwater bungalows and lagoon views add another iconic layer to the experience.

For travellers who want scenery, marine life and a strong sense of place, Moorea is a favourite for good reason.
