You can also access the island by Heli transfer from any of the Coral Coast Resorts. Castaway Island Fiji is an ideal tropical island enjoying swaying palms, refreshing sea breezes, pristine beaches, beautiful clear calm waters and colourful reefs all waiting for you to explore. Castaway Island Fiji is one of the most popular island resorts in Fiji and has been voted one of the top 10 resorts in the South Pacific Islands for families.

Evoking the sense of a traditional Fiji village, Castaway Island Fiji is set amongst lush tropical gardens and features individual thatched bures (bungalows). Each individual bure showcases authentic high vaulted ceilings lined in hand painted tapa, seamlessly blending a traditional Fiji island experience with modern comfort. Bathrooms at the Castaway Resort have also been recently refurbished.

With a range of activities, Castaway Island Fiji offers guests the perfect opportunity to explore your adventurous side and give windsurfing, parasailing or a ride on the banana boat a go. Snorkelling at Castaway is also fabulous, straight off the beach.

We recommend Castaway for a relaxing holiday. Nothing is too much trouble for the amazing staff. Castaway provides activities for those who want to participate and quiet time for those who don't. The facilities are second to none. Sota tale
