and rejuvenate the spirit as well as your physical being.

Honeymoon
in Paradise!
A prestigious and private vacation destination with
no buildings higher than a coconut palm, Sonaisali is blessed with
an abundance of tropical beauty. It is an inspiring place for your
honeymoon or romantic getaway. Sonaisali has a relaxed, uncrowded
way that will inspire your fondest memories.
A crowning jewel set in the balmy South Pacific you will find cool
tropical drinks to welcome you to paradise offered by the genuinely
friendly Fijian staff with a hearty 'Bula' - the official Fijian
welcome.
Do it all or do nothing at all. The possibilities are nearly
endless; laze amongst the tropical gardens beside the large lagoon
style pool, snorkel amid a blizzard of tiny reef fish, explore the
countless gardens scattered throughout the resort. You may decide to
indulge the senses at the Health and Beauty Centre or visit a nearby
village and mingle with the Fijian villagers. Shop amongst the
locals in nearby Nadi or cruise throughout the neighbouring Mamanuca
Islands. In the evenings, dine beneath a torchlit bure before your
stroll under a billion twinkling stars.
A wide array of ocean and sports activities are available or you
might just want to toast each other and marvel at a tropical sunset
from your private spa bath.
If you book through us and stay a minimum of 3 nights you will
receive a complimentary bottle of Sparkling Wine and Fresh Fruit
Basket in your room/bure upon arrival. |
