Who fits where at Royal Davui Island Resort
All 3 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.
| Suite | Occupancy | Size | Bedrooms | Aspect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lagoon Plunge Pool Bungalow with All Meals | Sleeps 2 | 904 ft²84 m² | 1 bedroom | Lagoonprivate pool |
| Island Plunge Pool Bungalow with All Meals | Sleeps 2 | 969 ft²90 m² | 1 bedroom | Partial oceanprivate pool |
| Sunset Plunge Pool Villa with All Meals | Sleeps 2 | 1,184 ft²110 m² | 1 bedroom | Lagoonprivate pool |
Occupancy is the maximum published occupancy including rollaways, not comfortable occupancy. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.

Before you book

Hidden tips
Stay five nights or more if included Nadi transfers materially affect value.
Budget separately for cocktails, wine, scuba, spa and signature private experiences.
Choose a sunset or lagoon villa if views are central to the trip.
Things guests wish they had known
