PRIVATE ISLAND FIJI
Our Resort Report
OUR Thoughts on Kokomo Private Island, Yaukuvelevu Island, Kadavu Group, Fiji
At the time of writing, Kokomo Private Island Fiji is into its third year of operation. The resort has turned out to be nothing short of amazing!
Kokomo sets a new high standard for a private island resort in the region of Kadavu and the Great Astrolabe Reef to the south of Viti Levu, the main island of Fiji. Over the years, this region has been quietly developing with a range of small properties of various standards mainly focusing on the spectacular diving available on the Great Astrolabe Reef and the iconic powder-white sand beaches found on the nearby islands. Yaukuve levu Island, on which Kokomo has been built is one the jewels of the Kadavu Islands group and is ideally suited for the location of a very up-market resort, the owners of which are committed to preserving and enhancing the natural environment of the island and its surrounding marine area.
The 21 Private Beachfront Villas are all located on a strip of low land with those perfect beaches on both sides and which is defined by raised land at both ends. The Beachfront Villas either face east to the sunrise or west to the sunset. The 5 Luxury Residences are located on the raised land to the south of the east and west-facing beaches and give occupants splendid, panoramic views out over the ocean.
The facilities on offer at Kokomo are second-to-none in Fiji. With no less than 3 food outlets plus the sunrise to sunset option of meals in guests’ Villa or Residence as well as dining out options which include private dining on the resort’s helipad from which there are amazing views and group dining at the Chef’s Pantry. Of the three food outlets, the west-facing Beach Shack is open for all meals and is the ideal place for sunset dining and so is “Walker D’Plank (open from midday) an intimate restaurant where guests walk down the plank for Asian-inspired street food. The Pool Cabana serves snacks, smoothies, charcuterie board, gourmet pizza etc.
