Castaway Island, Private island resort in Mamanuca archipelago, Fiji.
Castaway Island is a private resort on a 174-acre property in the Mamanuca archipelago with white sand beaches and coral reefs surrounding it. Coconut palms and tropical gardens shape the landscape throughout the destination.
The island was once called Qalito by the indigenous Fijians and remained uninhabited for centuries. In the late 20th century it became a resort destination.
The island weaves Fijian traditions into daily life through ceremonies and performances by people from surrounding communities. Visitors observe local crafts and dances that reflect how islanders connect with their heritage.
Visitors reach the island by high-speed catamaran or seaplane from Nadi International Airport in about one hour. These transfers should be arranged before arrival.
The island has four private beaches facing different directions, letting guests see both sunrises and sunsets from different shores. This layout means visitors can discover different coastal sides throughout the day.
