TV viewers who get caught up in the latest sleazy Reality Show, Celebrity Love Island, which starts tonight (May 16) at 9pm, can see a somewhat different side of Fiji, ITV�s film location, when travelling with South Seas specialist Bridge & Wickers (Tel 020 7483 6555 www.bridgeandwickers.co.uk).

Whether viewers are intrigued or not at the prospect of Abi Titmuss, Rebecca Loos and Callum Best getting it on in the sunshine, there is no escaping the beauty of the islands.

Commenting on the Fiji Islands, David Wickers co-founder of Bridge & Wickers, said, �Forget Lady Isabella and Jayne Middlemiss, Fiji will be the star of the series. Barely detectable on the globe, the islands of the South Seas lie scattered like confetti in the biggest, emptiest, least explored of its oceans.

Yet, with their pearl-white beaches, thick mattings of vegetation and seas that cover the entire repertoire of blues, from pale chalky turquoise to Waterman's blue black, nowhere in the world comes closer to fulfilling our dreams of island paradise.�

Undoubtedly, the best time to visit Fiji is between Easter and October, and there are some great deals to be had at the moment � airfares increase by �370pp in July.

Guests spend their days snorkelling, scuba diving (PADI dive facility), sailing, playing tennis and volleyball, hiking and visiting nearby villages, and the evenings sipping Veuve Cliquot and feasting on seafood by candlelight under the stars. The 18 spacious villas combine Fijian and Mediterranean architecture.

Price: from �1,880 for four nights per person, based on two sharing, including seaplane flights from Nadi on the main island Viti Levu, and all food and drink.
