Musket Cove is on the second-largest of Fiji's Mamanuca Islands.

Say Bula to this popular spot on the resort island of Malolo Lailai. If this isnt the beach of your dreams then I dont know what is. Think icing sugar sand, ridiculously blue water and palm trees to laze under. Jump on a boat and head out to the sandbars and reefs where you can dive with Nemo and his mates.

Turtle Island has room for 14 couples only.

Are there turtles on the private Turtle Island? Yes, including green, hawksbill and leatherback sea turtles. Also on Turtle Island is the stunning Honeymoon Beach which, as the name suggests, is a favourite with the newly betrothed. Its easy to see why - a postcard-perfect arc of white sand, rocky headlands and oodles of privacy because theres only accommodation for 14 couples.

Matagi Island is only accessible by boat.

A friend calls this spot on private Matagi Island her ultimate bucket list beach - the kind of pristine sand, unspoiled reefs and vistas usually reserved for screen savers. No surprise that Horseshoe Bay has been named one of the 1000 places to see before you die. Its a bit of schelp to get here but its more than worth it.
