Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort, Fiji Debuts Elopement Package
The package allows the bride and groom to stay for seven luxurious nights while paying for only five.

The Elopement Package includes an intimate wedding ceremony, complete with every detail from a wedding bouquet and crown to a Fijian choir. Set on a deserted, sandy beach with the calm waters of Savusavu Bay as a backdrop, this simple, beautiful ceremony begins with the beating of the lali drum as the groom is escorted by Fijian warriors to the traditionally-decorated palm frond and floral altar to await his bride. The sound of the davui, a conch shell which is blown, signals the procession of the bride, which begins as she is led along the beachfront by Fijian warriors and presented to her groom. At the completion of the ceremony, the bride and groom are guided through a traditional kava ceremony and presented with Champagne. The celebration continues with an intimate feast on a lantern-lit romantic pier. Also included in the package are pre and post-ceremony festivities, including a facial and manicure, honeymoon picnic on a deserted private island, and a couple's massage.

The Elopement Package is available May 1-31, October 9 - December 18, 2016, and January 8 -March 17, 2017. The all-inclusive package also includes a meet and greet at Nadi International Airport and Savusavu domestic airport, bure accommodation, all a la carte meals, most resort activities including five off-site excursions scheduled on a weekly basis, boat snorkel trips with resident marine biologist, snorkeling equipment, Wi-Fi, and return vehicle transfers from Savusavu Airport to the resort. Starting rates for the Elopement Package begin at FJD12,875 for a seven-night stay in a range of luxurious beachfront bures.
