A Fiji Five-Star Resort Vacation
Want to daydream for a minute? Check out the #1 Resort and Spa in Fiji – Namale.
It’s 525 acres of paradise, brought to you by Tony Robbins. Modern Bride magazine named Namale’s Honeymoon Suite one of the best in the world.
I had the pleasure of staying at Namale for a week back when I was married. It was one of the most luxurious, laid back, relaxing, wonderful, beautiful weeks of my life.
Think Architectural Digest meets World-Class cuisine on a tropical island, and you’re off to a great start. Opulant villas and bures dot the property, some buit in rainforests, others on lava at the edge of the ocean. The website for Namale has photos of the property that are beyond description. Go click around and daydream a bit, then come back.
We drank from a kava bowl when we arrived. We played tennis, lounged in hammocks, snorkeled over a reef, sunbathed poolside, napped at the beach. The staff seemed to sense whenever we needed a cocktail or drink, and they’d bring it right to us, wherever we were. Sunsets were amazing.
While you’re checking out photos from Namale, I’ll tell a funny story. There was a New Zealander with a wicked accent at the resort when we visited. At one point, she asked us if we’d seen “Tony’s dick.”
“Excuse me?” my wife asked.
“Tony’s dick,” the New Zealander said. “It’s wonderful.”
“Um, I think I’m not understanding you right,” my wife said. “Can you say it again?”
This exchange went on for a bit, before the woman got a bit frustrated.
“Tony’s dick. His dick! It’s by the blow hole!!!”
Okay, then.
Turn’s out Tony Robbins built a deck that overlooks a blowhole. It’s a wonderful place to watch water crash up like a geiser through the reef.
And on that note, I’ll leave you with Namale dreams. If you can ever get there, go!
And be sure to enjoy Tony’s “dick”.

Now you are just being cruel by teasing those of us who can’t afford tent camping with exotic locations we’ll likely never go.
Your next post better be about bleeding hemroids or a venerial disease you caught on vacation or we readers just might rebel.
Am I alone on that opinion?

Absolutely gorgeous to be sure….but if I had to see any part of TR, I’d barf. Something about the man creeps me out. But I suppose if someone wanted to pay my way there, I could deal with it. :-)

Thanks for the daydream, and the laugh. Now, I have to get back to creatively balancing my checkbook to find the money for two tickets to Hawaii so my son can see the volcanoes!

Yep, I agree…showing off and obnoxious BUT I have a solution for all us single ladies on here… How ’bout we just take turns being his “girlfriend” till we all get a cool vacation out of him? Hey David, I’m requesting Australia or Greece for my turn. hahahaha

Well, thank you. I certainly will enjoy the view from Tony’s “dick” when I get to Namale someday. No doubt I’ll be remembering this very funny story and giggling. Of course, I’ll have Mr.SexyConfidentPeruvian by my side then, also. See how your posts ignite my imagination?
Cruel, yes, quite cruel~
;)
Have fun, wherever you are, oh hammocked one.

I could write a post like this.. had I actually ever traveled anywhere.
Ever think of writing travel docs? or is this your new side gig?
I would love to see Fiji one of my top places to visit before I die…I better get a move on and win publishers..
Funny anecdote. I love that kind of innocent humor. I hope you let the poor girl in on the confusion

It sounds like an amazing place to visit. I, my husband and our three boys are ready to travel to an exotic land but unfortunately, not this year.
Our usual trip to Nantucket, MA was not booked this summer for the first time in….forever. Oh well, Aspen has a lot to offer and we will make do without the beach this year.
Thanks for sharing. Glad to have found you.

5 days of sharing holiday stories – not sure how that is showing off since they were trips done while married too!
We had pretty awesome get aways as a couple!
But the best trip away was last year with my kids on a tiny budget but we went away :)
Its not about where you go its about the memories you make once there!
So maybe I cant afford Fiji but what I can afford I make the most of!

priceless. i love it when accents get in the way of understanding. We had a family friend who was very religious and she was from Arkansas. She said to our other friend, “when you pray, you get a whale”. So my friend went home and told her mom that if she prayed, she would get a whale. When in reality, the woman was saying, “when you pray, you get well”.
