In Fiji’s Mamanuca Islands you’ll find the immaculate Castaway Island Resort, a 4-star resort located on a private island. This luxurious 174-acre island is surrounded by pristine beaches, vibrant coral reefs, crystal-clear waters and is covered in a lush tropical jungle. Paradise on Earth to make it short! 

At Castaway Island Resort, you are encouraged to "take off your shoes and make yourself at home!”. The resort offers unique bure-style accommodation with stylish and roomy interiors, inspired by traditional architecture.

Honeymooners or families, Castaway caters to all types of travellers planning a Fjian island escape. A total of 65 bures with thatched roofs in traditional Fijian style, are tucked away among beautiful tropical gardens or located right on the beach. Every bure has both air conditioning and fan cooling so you can escape the heat if need be! 

This amazing Fijian resort features four restaurants and offers an extensive range of activities, from snorkelling and kayaking in the lagoon to cooking classes. Bliss is guaranteed at Castaway Island Resort, simply unwind in a hammock to the relaxing sound of the waves or enjoy a massage in the comfort of your own bure. At Castaway Island, you also get the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the Fijian atmosphere, with daily cultural activities such as Fijian earth oven (lovo) dinner buffet and Meke dance show.  

 

Musket Cove Island Resort & Marina located in Malolo Lailai, in the Mamanuca Islands, is where rustic Fijian décor meets tropical bliss - the perfect recipe for that relaxing holiday you’ve been dreaming of. This slice of paradise can easily be accessed by boat, helicopter or plane from Nadi International Airport. In terms of accommodation, the resort offers beachfront bures or self-catering villas alongside the pristine lagoon.  

Musket Cove features 2 swimming pools, a bar and bistro with a la carte Fijian cuisine and a swim-up bar overlooking the lagoon where you can enjoy a refreshing cocktail or two (probably more than two though, let’s be honest!).

The resort also has its own organic farm used by its restaurant for the tastiest and freshest cuisine. However, if you’re looking for a more private dining experience, the resort can arrange a champagne beach picnic, a romantic candlelit dinner by the lagoon or even a family barbecue.  

There is a lot to do at this fabulous resort, so we know you won’t get bored! There are free activities like snorkelling, kayaking, guided walks, traditional basket weaving classes and village tours. We also recommend taking part in one of the island treks or traditional cooking classes organised by the resort.

Musket Cove also features some unique facilities you wouldn’t usually find at other Fijian resorts, such as a Yacht Club, a small marina, a boat harbour, and a supermarket. Plus, there’s also a beach bar and a golf club within walking distance. What more could you want?!   

 

The Radisson Blu Resort Fiji Denarau Island is a great choice for families wanting a tropical escape. Located less than half an hour away from Nadi International Airport, this beach resort is surrounded by lush palm trees and offers great facilities for families to keep the children happy, safe and entertained during their stay. Radisson Blu caters for every size family with the possibility for larger groups to stay in interconnecting rooms.  

The resort has a family swimming pool featuring a white-water tunnel slide as well as a toddlers’ pool for the little ones. The resort also offers prams available by the sun loungers for babies to nap while parents enjoy a well-deserved relaxing time by the pool.

The Blu Banana Kids Club is also a great option for children aged between 4 and 12 years old and there’s even babysitting services available at an extra cost for parents wanting to enjoy a massage or a romantic dinner kid-free! Of all the kids' activities offered by the resort, the Torch Lighting Ceremony is by far the most popular! During the ceremony, children follow a Fiji Warrior around the resort as he lights the flaming torches – a very fun evening the kids will love! 

To top it off, with six restaurants, families have plenty of options for delicious meals to satisfy everyone throughout the day – even the fussiest of eaters! 

 

Another family haven is Plantation Island Resort located in the magical Mamanuca Islands. Accessible 50 minutes by boat from the mainland, it’s a great and affordable option for families looking at creating lifetime memories in a tropical paradise surrounded by white sand beaches and sheltered lagoons.  

The resort accommodates all ages with a teenage program, children creche, indoor activity centre, outdoor playgrounds, nanny service and free access to their Coconut Kids Club. Children won’t get bored at this amazing resort with daily activities ranging from crab hunting and cultural dance practice to coconut boat racing.

Plantation Island is also popular for its waterpark with rides and slides – sadly for all the ‘big kids’ out there, the waterpark is limited to up to 16 years old though! The resort also features four pools, four restaurants, two bars, a golf course, tennis, and handball and basketball courts! All in all, one of the best Fiji island resorts for families! 

 

Yasawa Island Resort and Spa wears its name well! ‘Yasawa’ meaning heaven in Fijian, the stunning resort welcomes you in your own slice of paradise. Being an all-inclusive resort, Yasawa Island includes all gourmet meals, snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. The secluded resort features 18 luxury bures, nestled between lush palms and only a few steps away to the crystal-clear lagoon. Can you picture yourself there yet?! 

The dining experiences at Yasawa Island Resort promise to be unforgettable too. You can choose to enjoy your meals at the Alfresco Restaurant with breathtakingly gorgeous pool and ocean views. Or you can opt for a private beachside dinner or even a picnic on one of the ten pristine white beaches surrounding the resort (yes ten!). 

Yasawa Island Resort’s award-winning Baravi Spa is one of the best beachfront spas in Fiji and offers premium treatments and massages. All water activities such as catamaran, kayaking and stand-up paddle boards are also included as well as tennis and guided walks.

But the inclusions don’t stop there! The resort also offers complimentary village visits, half-day Blue Lagoon Caves trips, guided scuba diving, cooking demonstrations, kava ceremony and more. Without a doubt, Yasawa Island Resort and Spa is one of the best value Fiji island resorts!  

 

If you’re looking for the ultimate luxurious Fijian stay, Tokoriki Island Resort is the place to be! This stunning 5-star resort is Fiji’s most awarded adults-only boutique luxury island resort. Situated in the Mamanuca Islands, a scenic helicopter or seaplane flight will get you there in only 15 minutes from Nadi International airport. Otherwise, you can take the ferry from the Denarau Marina - which only takes about 1 hour 25 minutes to get to the resort. With a maximum of 72 guests, the resort offers caring attention to details and warm Fijian hospitality.  

Tokoriki Island Resort doesn’t lack idyllic dining locations either. From your oceanfront terrace, under the shade of the palm trees, by the infinity pool or at one of the two restaurants, you can enjoy a la carte menus changing daily, carefully crafted with a South Pacific and Asian influence. If you have any special dietary requirements, Tokoriki’s Chef will personally meet with you on arrival to discuss your options. If you ever wondered how it would feel like to be a celebrity VIP, that’s probably as close as it gets! 

An optional full meal plan is also available and includes a full breakfast with free-flow French sparkling wine, 2-course lunch, afternoon tea and a 3-course dinner. If you’re looking for a special experience and are staying at one of the bures or villas with private pool, starting your day with a Champagne Floating Breakfast will make your stay extra memorable.

Tokoriki Island Resort also offers a range of activities such as massage treatments, cocktail tastings, island beach picnics, diving, snorkelling, tennis and complimentary use of all non-motorised activities to explore the lagoon at your own pace. For sure, this remote paradise is one of the best luxury Fiji resorts!
