The World's Best Private Island Resorts

"Located in the untouched Kadavu Islands, a 45-minute seaplane flight from Nadi International Airport, this private island balances romance and multi-generational travel in Fiji. Straddling the renowned Great Astrolabe Reef, the waters near Kokomo teem with colorful fish, manta rays, sea turtles, and thriving coral gardens, making underwater exploration a must for any visit (don’t miss the marine biologist-led manta snorkel excursion). Twenty-one beachfront villas range in size from a couples-friendly one bedroom to larger two- and three-bedrooms, each with a private plunge pool, private walled garden with outdoor shower, and direct beach access. Meanwhile, five hilltop luxury Grand Residences welcome larger families to multi-bedroom homes, inclusive of a private butler and nanny. Guests can also anticipate other water activities like sailing and kayaking, and three memorable meals daily, made of locally sourced produce from Kokomo’s 5.5-acre farm and hydroponics garden, and seafood from a sustainable, caught-to-order island initiative." - Paul Rubio
