Royal Davui Island - Take a boat ride to a remote sand cay rising from fringing reef where a gourmet picnic lunch is set up, complete with beanbags, chilled refreshments and sunshade. Enjoy complete isolation as the tide falls and the sandy cay rises from the sea, with a soundtrack of serenity as wavelets lap the shore.

Vomo Island Fiji – For the ultimate castaway indulgence hire the tiny island of Vomo Lailai for a white-linen luncheon for two set up on a shaded beachfront platform. Laze on the daybed beneath palm trees, swim in the sea and stay as long as you please – ‘rescue’ is moments away by two-way radio.

Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort – Escape to the white sand beaches of  Naviavia Island for an intimate island picnic for two. A short boat ride from the resort, the island rises from fringing reef and a marine sanctuary, where late afternoons are tinged with dusky pastel hues as the tropical sun slides behind the horizon.
