A Private Island Paradise
Accessible only by a 45-minute seaplane journey from Nadi, Kokomo Private Island exists in splendid isolation, surrounded by the fourth-largest coral reef in the world. The island’s untouched beauty encompasses white sand beaches, tropical rainforest, and coral reefs teeming with marine life. This isn’t just a resort on an island – it’s an entire island dedicated to creating your perfect escape, where the only footprints in the sand might be your own.
Villas and Residences of Exceptional Beauty
Kokomo’s 21 beachfront villas and five luxury residences showcase contemporary design that honors traditional Fijian architecture. Each villa features soaring ceilings with exposed beams, walls of glass that open to merge indoor and outdoor living, and private infinity pools overlooking the South Pacific. The one and two-bedroom villas span up to 1,800 square feet, with outdoor showers, daybed salas, and direct beach access just steps away.
The luxury residences elevate the experience further, with up to six bedrooms, full kitchens, and dedicated staff. These palatial retreats offer the ultimate in privacy and space, perfect for multi-generational gatherings or groups of friends seeking an exclusive island experience. Every accommodation features handcrafted furnishings, local artworks, and technology that’s present but never intrusive.
Culinary Journeys Rooted in Place
Dining at Kokomo celebrates the bounty of Fiji and the surrounding ocean, with ingredients sourced from the resort’s organic gardens and local fishing boats. Walker D’Amico restaurant serves sophisticated fare that ranges from fresh-caught seafood to dry-aged steaks, all enjoyed in an open-air pavilion with ocean views. Beach Shack offers casual feet-in-the-sand dining, perfect for long lunches that merge into sunset cocktails.
The resort’s commitment to sustainability shines through in every meal, with a zero-waste philosophy and partnerships with local farmers and fishermen. Private dining experiences include picnics on deserted sandbanks, traditional Fijian lovo feasts cooked in earth ovens, and romantic dinners on your villa’s deck with a dedicated chef and server.
Wellness in Paradise
The Yaukuve Spa Sanctuary draws inspiration from ancient Fijian healing traditions, offering treatments that restore balance and harmony. Set within tropical gardens with views of the reef, the spa features treatment bures (traditional thatched huts), a relaxation pavilion, and therapists trained in both international techniques and local healing practices. Signature treatments incorporate indigenous ingredients like pure coconut oil, tropical flowers, and mineral-rich mud.
Wellness extends beyond the spa with daily yoga sessions on the beach, a fully equipped fitness center, and hiking trails through the island’s rainforest interior. The resort’s approach to wellbeing encompasses physical, mental, and spiritual health, with programs tailored to individual goals.
Adventures Above and Below
Kokomo’s location within the Great Astrolabe Reef offers world-class diving and snorkeling right from the beach. The PADI dive center provides equipment and expertise for exploring pristine coral gardens, dramatic walls, and marine life that includes manta rays, reef sharks, and sea turtles. The resort’s marine biologist leads educational snorkeling tours and conservation activities.
Above water, adventures include deep-sea fishing for marlin and tuna, kayaking through mangroves, stand-up paddleboarding at sunset, and sailing on traditional Fijian boats. Cultural experiences bring guests into contact with local villages, where traditional ceremonies, craft demonstrations, and warm Fijian hospitality create lasting connections. The resort’s commitment to community extends to employment, education, and healthcare initiatives that ensure tourism benefits local people.
Family Paradise
While Kokomo offers romantic seclusion, it’s equally welcoming to families. The Kaji Kids Club provides supervised activities that blend fun with learning about Fijian culture and marine conservation. Young guests can enjoy treasure hunts, coconut bowling, fish feeding, and junior marine biologist programs. Families can explore together on snorkeling expeditions, beach games, and movie nights under the stars. The resort’s flexible dining and villa configurations ensure everyone from toddlers to grandparents feels at home.
