international fine dining, luxury boutiques and the breathtaking Crown Spa. Nothing compares

spa baths with televisions, separate dressing rooms, marble and wood finishes and floor-to-ceiling
windows with stunning views.

In Fiji, you’ll be in the lap of luxury at Royal Davui. Located off of Fiji’s Coral Coast, Royal Davui
is accessible via a short helicopter ride or chartered flight from Nadi. 16 vales nestled in the
tropical vegetation offer superb views of surrounding reefs and islands. Enjoy first class cuisine
