There’s nothing quite like a secluded beach for a romantic embrace. With over 33 islands in this South Pacific nation to choose from, there’s plenty of room for a private island escape — like a stay in a traditional hut on the Biketawa Islet. Make it a New Year’s getaway and you’ll be one of the first in the world to welcome the New Year with a kiss.

When you’re feeling social, there’s lots to take in — including the unique culture and traditions of the island, water sports and fishing and some World War II history.
