Our two-day stay at Castaway Island Resort was nothing short of magical—a trip my wife, our three daughters, and I will always cherish. From the moment we arrived, we were embraced by the warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality that made us feel like we were part of the Castaway family. An Unforgettable Arrival We arrived late in the evening, around 9 PM, and were greeted by the gentle serenades of the staff and their heartfelt "Bula" as we stepped onto the shore. It was such a warm and uplifting welcome, especially after a long journey. Check-in was smooth and efficient, allowing us to quickly settle into our beachfront bure on the Southern Beach. To our surprise and delight, the staff had prepared a delicious dinner for us even though we hadn’t pre-ordered. It was a thoughtful gesture that immediately made us feel cared for and valued. Our Beautiful Beachfront Bure Our bure on the Southern Beach was absolutely stunning. It was spacious, comfortable, and just steps away from the soft, white sand and the turquoise waters. The view from our door each morning was breathtaking, with the gentle sound of the waves and the vibrant colors of the ocean setting the perfect tone for the day. The girls loved being so close to the beach, running out to play in the sand and splash in the water. The housekeeping team, led by the wonderful Dreu, ensured our bure was always immaculate and welcoming—a true home away from home. Dining with a Tropical Flair Dining at Castaway was a family highlight. With the restaurant perched right on the beach, every meal came with incredible views of the sea and the soothing sound of waves. We enjoyed buffet breakfasts, lunches, and dinners together, savoring the delicious variety of dishes that pleased every palate. The girls especially loved picking out their favorites at every meal. The staff made every dining experience feel special, with Ima’s warm and attentive service standing out. And the music! Samu and the band serenaded us with their beautiful melodies, adding that authentic Fijian touch that made each meal memorable. My wife and I couldn’t help but smile as the girls swayed to the music while we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Beach, Reef, and Endless Fun The Southern Beach was a slice of paradise. The sand was soft and clean, and the water was so clear that we could see fish darting around even near the shore. We spent hours snorkeling as a family, marveling at the vibrant corals, seagrass, and the abundance of colorful fish that made the reef feel alive. It was a magical underwater world that left our daughters in awe. Activities for the Whole Family Our girls absolutely loved the Kids Club, where Superman (vuaku) and the amazing ladies created fun-filled adventures for them. Whether it was crafting, games, or just exploring the island in their unique way, they came back every time with big smiles and stories to tell. Meanwhile, my wife and I enjoyed some quiet time by the pool, soaking in the peaceful atmo

Castaway Island is such a magical place. It’s one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen. The thing that makes castaway so amazing are the staff. They are wonderful humans, I was sad to say goodbye to them 😭 Thank you Tony, Ate, Lizzy, Teca and everyone else that took care of Eleanor. The beachfront bure was incredible, the bed was super comfy, the room stayed cool and housekeeping did a great job keeping it tidy every day. They also have lots of free kayaks, SUP and little catamarans. I can’t wait to come back!

Beach Bure Life
A wonderful experience. So staff is so welcoming and accommodating. The food is very good and there is a lot of variety. It’s the perfect place for families. We were impressed with the kid’s club which provides activities up to 10 PM. Usually our kids don’t want to go, but here it’s more like camp at this hotel. All the kids go and the activities are fun and engaging. They made new friends and did things like camp fire dance party on the beach for the older kids. The snorkeling is right off shore and you can kayak, sail and snorkel right from the beach. We had a beach bure and the kids could wake up and play in the sand and swim right out our door. We will definitely be back and next time bring a bunch of friends.

We spent 4 days at Castaway Island and we wish we could have stayed longer! It was a wonderful family resort— lots of families visiting, but also the staff become your family while you are there. We were greeted by a lovely song and “Bula! Welcome home!” They make you feel like you are family. We stayed in a beachfront bure and enjoyed the waves and sand right outside our door. The staff, particularly Ben at the boat shed and Mickey on the activities staff helped us have a great time with the water sports and the evening activities. The food at all the restaurants was great, and the Fijian feast on Wednesday night must not be missed! This was our first visit to Castaway but it won’t be our last!

This is the only hotel on an island about 1 1/2 hr ferry ride from the mainland. Snorkeling is on site; the rooms are beautiful. The staff is super friendly. Nanny service is affordable and a big plus. A few things that were not perfect: kids club is small, the south bures face heavy wind during their winter time; the food is OK and could get a bit tiring for longer stay. But overall it was as close to perfect as it could get for a tropical vacation
