Catch the Fiji love bug

Announcement posted by LivingSocial Escapes 21 Jul 2011

Sydney, 21 July 2011 - Since a teenage Brooke Shields fell in love to the backdrop of Fiji’s beaches in the 1980 film Blue Lagoon, romantic hearted couples and honeymooners have been making the trip to Fiji to find their own natural love – and more now than ever before. A record number of Australians have visited the archipelago of 330 islands so far this winter: it seems all of Australia is looking for a dose of medicine from doctor love.

A popular destination for celebrities, Fiji’s white sandy beaches, palm trees, beautiful coral reefs and seclusion, fit the bill for the perfect romance. A romantic getaway to Fiji gives couples the chance to thaw out, de-stress and indulge in some of life’s best treats: full body massages, steamy days by the pool, sunset cocktails and romantic dinners on the beach.

For the more energetic, there are plenty of activities to embark on such as snorkelling, diving, waterfall treks, white water rafting and sailing around the many islands. Cosseted by the treats the island paradise has to offer, visitors are further treated to the warmth and friendliness of the Fijian people, greeting you with a warm hello - “Bula” - at every turn.

Pockets of Fiji can be expensive especially if you occupy your own exclusive island. But not everyone needs this kind of holiday. Just as LivingSocial lets people discover new services, experiences and attractions at deep discounts in their city or places they visit, LivingSocial Escapes help couples find the perfect excuse to get away and re kindle their passion without the big price tag.

“Try a holiday deal on the main island, Viti Levu, where you can enjoy the beautiful beaches with the chance to slip away to one of the smaller islands on a day trip,” says LivingSocial Australia and New Zealand CEO Colin Fabig.

LivingSocial travel deals require minimal planning, coming with amazing extras including breakfast, late check outs, romantic dinners and activities. Each deal is listed for a week to give couples the time to organise their diaries.

“Time out with someone you love is special and LivingSocial Escapes make covetable travel destinations affordable for everyone. Each travel deal experience on LivingSocial Escapes is authentic, accessible and affordable,” says Colin.

Taking advantage of LivingSocial travel deals and romantic getaways couldn't be easier: holiday deals are delivered to members through the LivingSocial Escapes website, a daily email blast and through apps for iPhone and Android devices. The travel deal is available to anyone who clicks on it during the time it is live.
