LOMANI ISLAND RESORT
Malolo Lailai Island, Mamanuca Islands, Fiji
"Lomani” is the Fijian word for love. Lomani Island Resort offers a tranquil and romantic atmosphere that is ideal for those seeking total relaxation. Lomani is an adults only boutique resort located in the beautiful Mamanuca Islands of Fiji. Hidden amongst the swaying palms and tropical gardens of MaloloLailai Island, Lomani fronts a 7km white sand beach and sheltered, pristine lagoon. With only 24 rooms in the resort you will feel well and truly like an honoured guest. All rooms have spectacular ocean views and are all within 30 metres of the beach front. The dedicated Fijian staff will cater to your every need, allowing you to unwind and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
Unwind with a relaxing massage, or find some private time to yourself exploring the 66 acre copra plantation and miles of uninhabited beaches. The Lomani Spa offers a range of treatments to indulge in using high quality Pure Fiji spa products. Picnic spots, hammocks and private beach vales are scattered around the resort, and a hamper can be arranged for those seeking seclusion. Private tables are set up by the beach for the ultimate romantic dining experience. Watch the sun dip into the ocean as you sip champagne with your feet in the sand."
Our thoughts on Lomani Island Resort
Located around the point from Plantation Island Resort on a private, sheltered bay, Lomani feels a world apart from the busy family atmosphere of Plantation Island Resort which is only a 5 minute stroll away. Lomani is an adult only resort where the minimum age of guests is 16 years. The 24 Suites and Bures are all in close proximity to the beach, the single restaurant is well respected for serving excellent food, but what really sets Lomani apart is the fact that with only 24 rooms, the wonderful Fijian staff quickly become friends with the guests and many a tear is shed on both sides when guests leave at the end of their holiday.
The perfect white sand beach outside Lomani is tidal which makes it wonderful for romantic walks and private evening meals enjoyed with tables set up right in the shallow water, but when the tide is out and the beach is not so good for swimming, Lomani provides daily complimentary boat trips around the island to beautiful swimming and snorkelling spots.
Lomani rates itself 4 Star – in our opinion, it’s at the higher end of the 4 star rating. Guests appreciate the fact that full American Breakfast and daily laundry service for all guests is included in the tariff. They even do complimentary delivery of breakfast in bed. There are many other delightful special touches at Lomani. Every arriving guest is personally welcomed by the staff singing traditional Fijian greetings and given a shell lei and a fresh green drinking coconut. Departing guests are farewelled with a song too.
All guests have complimentary use of kayaks, glass-bottomed kayaks, stand up paddle boards, windsurfers, bicycles, snorkelling equipment, gym and the lovely 35 metre freshwater swimming pool. You may well wonder what you would do with bicycles on an island, but Malololailai is quite a size and as well as Lomani there are two other resorts on the island – Plantation Island Resort and Musket Cove Resort, so the bicycles thoughtfully provided for Lomani guests are a great way to get around the island and visit the other resorts if you wish.
But wait, there’s more! The following complimentary tours and activities are included for everyone:
Outer reef snorkelling trip (daily), Dolphin Safari tour (once a week), Guided Village Tour (once a week), Guided Island Tour, handline fishing trip, coconut husking demonstration, kava ceremony, sulu-tying lesson, basket weaving lesson, Manager’s Cocktail Party (Wednesday). Of course the operation of all activities is subject to weather conditions, but that’s not usually a problem in Fiji!
