Begin Valentine's Day with breakfast in bed, including a basket filled with pastries, tropical fruit and chocolates, as well as chilled sparkling wine.
Cost: FJ$65 (AU$34) per couple.

After you’ve explored or relaxed the day away, climb aboard the resort's cart to zoom up the hill to Kalokalo cocktail bar, where you will be greeted with a champagne cocktail and four-course tapas menu, and take in sweeping views of the Coral Coast and Pacific. 
Cost: $80FJD (AU$40) per person.

The Outrigger’s signature restaurant IVI is also serving a unique five-course menu for Valentine's Day. You'll feel like the only people in the room as you sip premium wine and are serenaded by one of the resort’s singers.
