Divers of all skill levels will delight in the award-winning facilities at the resort, which is the "World's Best for Diving," according to Harpers Abroad. (January 2003)

Weddings

A wedding is a highlight of your life. Celebrating your marriage in Fiji, with us at Jean-Michel Cousteau Fiji Islands Resort, will be a joyful experience you will treasure always.

On the Beach at Sunset
Many weddings at the resort take place on a private expanse of beachfront at sunset. It is customary for two Fijian Warriors to carry the bride up the beach to her groom. The procession is accompanied by the blowing of conch shells and beating of Lali drums.

The marriage ceremony can be performed by a minister, priest or celebrant, as the couple prefers. They offer three choices for music performed during the ceremony: string band, the Fijian Village Choir or the Church Choir.
