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?!
