Royal Davui Island Resort - Adults Only

Resort Experience: The resort offers a unique and intimate experience on a private island with only 16 villas, ensuring exclusivity and privacy.

What an absolutely phenomenal trip. Royal Davui Island Resort made this a fairytale vacation. We made so many memories here that we will remember for the rest of our lives. A picnic on a sand cay in the middle of an ocean, surrounded by mother nature and — hilariously — curious crabs. A sunset cruise where we all enjoyed ourselves so much and we both had deep thoughts about the state of the world and also detached from the world in the way you most hope to on a vacation. Hours upon hours at the pool, reading, writing, and thinking while sipping smoothies and cocktails like some movie. It really was a dream. The staff were absolutely next level: Lydia, David, Meme (both of them!), Ben, Sitari, Jacki, Mesui, Bill, Paul, Mela, La, Dee, and so many more. Things like helping with sea sickness, stocking us up on cookies, giving me a weighted blanket during a head facial, chatting about the flora and fauna, laughing and smiling through kava rounds, and just so much joy shared throughout. Also, they are all highly talented singers. I told Mesui that I could listen to him all day. Chill music while I worked. He is seriously talented. Really though, so many of them are. And the chefs! Wow. They are an incredible group. Royal Davui Island is a special place with very special people. It was an honor to spend a week there.

The Royal Davui is an extremely special place. We stayed 7 nights for our honeymoon and our time spent there was incredible. Starting with the staff- hard to put into words how great the customer service is. We made friends with several of the staff and enjoyed getting to know them. They are great people who genuinely want you to have the best vacation possible. There are so many “small” things they do to surpass your expectations- remembering your name and order(s), the housekeeping and turn down service (you never/rarely see them but your room is always pristine when you return), and helping you build your dream itinerary based on your preferences. The grounds are beyond beautiful. You are submerged in nature so there were some lizard, snake, and bird sightings but nothing really bothered us except the mosquitoes. I recommend bringing some bug spray if mosquitos like you but they do keep some behind the bar they are happy to let you use. The food and drinks were top notch. I am a picky eater so I was worried with a limited pre fix menu but I was able to find something to eat at every meal. We never went hungry as they bring you starters, entrees and dessert. Pro tip- try to head to dinner an hour early to catch the sunset and they will often give you a little pre dinner snack. The cocktails were incredible! We were limited with our excursion options because my husband had recent, unexpected surgery. So we were pretty much land bound. We did the sand cay picnic (definitely recommend), the sunset cruise and a cooking class. I would pass on the cooking class personally just because it was more of a cooking demonstration versus a class but it was still nice. I definitely recommend taking advantage of the free activities they do on certain nights: crab races, cocktail tasting, kava night, etc. Because this beautiful island is remote, the transfers are something to keep in mind. We chose the small plane then boat ride option. I was expecting a small plane- this was a tiny plane! Just be aware if you are someone who doesn’t love flying already (like me). The flight was smooth and logistically they do a great job- just worth giving a heads up in my opinion because I was a little surprised. On the way back, we opted in for the boat and then drive back. It’s about 2.5 hours from pacific harbor to the airport and it was pretty enjoyable. You get to see a lot of the beautiful island and they drive you in a nice SUV. Our driver was lovely. If you are looking to see as much as possible, take the drive at least one way. To The Royal Davui, THANK YOU! BULA. xoxo, McKayla & Mitchell
