Lock up and leave: Golf and spa resort in Fiji

Nothing divides vacationers quite like golf. There are some for whom it’s an obsession, they can spend hours hooking, slicing and missing putts but it only takes one perfect shot to bring them back for more the next day.

Tough luck if your partner would rather stick pins in their eyes that spend any time pursuing a small white ball around a manicured parkland.

A golf holiday can be great for the occasional weekend hacker but when your holiday time is short and precious, your partner probably doesn’t want to spend it doing something you loathe.

Similarly, you don’t want to spend your time trying to enjoy yourself while your companion complains that’s not their kind of holiday.

Well, there’s a compromise.  Our Pick of the Trips this week is a special deal at the Intercontinental Golf and Spa Resort in Fiji.

Just think, while you are thrashing and bashing your way around a tropical paradise, your better half could be being pampered to within an inch of their lives. Or vice versa.  Or, if you are so inclined, you can both do both.
