Small and intimate with expansive white sand beaches fringed by a superb aquamarine house reef, this island is one of our favourites for couples and honeymooners.

The food at Vilu Reef is fabulous, and we were lucky enough to enjoy a sumptuous beach barbecue - perfect for a special occasion. The main draw for me though was the beautiful reef. Alongside two guides we snorkelled off the south east side of the island, and just a few metres out is a spectacular drop off with a reef buzzing with tropical fish, reef sharks, turtles and stingrays.
