Why stop at just a hotel, get treated to the remoteness of a whole island with Fiji’s Turtle Island. The remoteness of the small but luxurious island encapsulates everything a romantic getaway should be; personal, intimate and above all- special. With only 14 private villas or “bures”, it’s the perfect retreat. Crafted by Fiji craftsmen, the “bures” serve up a real traditional, eco friendly slice of Fiji culture -instantly making you feel at one with nature. Every “Grand Bure” has its own hot tub fitted, and a spacious garden with a queen sized sun bed for those afternoons spent drifting off to sleep in the sun. A true paradise, Turtle Island is more than a holiday; it’s an experience you won’t forget.
4. Badrutts Palace Hotel, Switzerland
