Kokomo Island Resort

“Top shelf Fiji”

We have been to Fiji more than a dozen times. We come to dive, but we like luxe. We've also dived Maldives, Australia, Vanuatu, Trobriands, Solomons, Palau, French Polynesia and Tonga.

We have been to Fiji more than a dozen times. We come to dive, but we like luxe. We've also dived Maldives, Australia, Vanuatu, Trobriands, Solomons, Palau, French Polynesia and Tonga. We like Fiji because it's quick and easy to get to from Sydney, and if you choose your flights and island correctly, you can get there within the day. Kokomo was a step up to a new level for us in terms of Fiji expenditure. It's not cheap, that's for sure. But well worth the money. Kokomo makes you feel like a valued guest at every turn. The food is exceptional. The menu is varied and the quality is excellent. For dinner there is a good selection of options, or, as the waiter charmingly says "perhaps a little bit of everything?". And so we did ! Important to mention you just want small portions, but even so you end up with a table crowded with items. The genius of this approach, from the resorts point of view, is that while everything is excellent, there will inevitably be a "hero", and so by sampling everything you are guaranteed to get some of the hero from every meal, and your impressions are calibrated accordingly. The accommodation is palatial. Room serviced twice daily by magic. The transfer is frictionless. Snorkelling around the jetty is surprisingly good. The dive operation is friendly, professional and very slick. Snacks for surface interval. As the boat returns to the jetty you'll be asked if you would like a buggy to meet you on the jetty. Yes please ! We did a double tank dive every morning. On the boat at 9am, back at the resort about 1pm, quick shower and back for lunch at 2pm. We mostly dived the Solo reef, just a couple of dives on Astrolabe, because apparently the better stuff is at Solo albeit a longer (25min) boat ride. How as the diving you ask? Well I hesitate to answer. It was the equal of anything we've seen in Fiji, except better. My hesitation comes from the fact you may not see what we did. Doing the Solo walls we saw a manta on two occasions, eagle rays on three - AND - had an encounter with a school of 8 hammerhead sharks ! Stunning ! Unexpected ! The guides were amazed and while you can ask them to "take you to the place you saw the hammers", there's every chance you'll just have to make do with eagle rays. So our impression of the diving is hugely coloured by one 60 second encounter with 8 hammers, and I find it hard to get that out of my mind and put the rest of it in perspective. That said, the diving is great, the resort of great, food is surpurb, and Kokomo is worth every penny.

This was a truly magical experience. A gem of an island with an enormous family of 350 staff who go above and beyond to support the guests' experience. Nothing was too much trouble. The island is small and that makes it more special. The singing and warm hearts on arrival, departure and at other times grabs your heart and brings tears to the eyes. The accommodation was divinely comfortable and spacious and the sunset views are magnificent. You can literally swim out a few metres from the shoreline to see the most beautiful fish and corals and turtles. The massages were excellent and deeply healing. Yoga with Alex also very good. The food was very good, if not great. It is a remote Island after all. The Chefs are very obliging and the only comment we would make is to ensure more appealing gluten-free and healthy options on the breakfast buffet. The place runs like clockwork, highly efficient and caring all at once. This is a place to switch off the 'noise' of the outside world, tune in and find peace, harmony and the joy of community.

Kokomo Private Island is a rare and unique gem and an unspoiled true slice of paradise. It was a gift for our family to visit and stay here for 12 days. It’s the place you go to peel away stress, tune out the world and focus on relaxation and enjoyment. We also had some inner healing needs and Kokomo PI was the perfect place for this. It took us 10 hours on Fiji Airways from LAX and just 45 minute flight from Nadi by private jet. The water plane to Kokomo and the landing over the gorgeous shades of blue sea was so thrilling. From planes to island the experience just kept getting better and better by the minute! The fantastic staff ushers you in with music, singing, smiles, fresh coconut water and tour. So fun and welcoming! Our 11 family members commented over and over again on how lovely and extra special the staff was day in and day out. Truly they are the friendliest on Earth with such impeccable customer service. They ALL went above and beyond to make certain we were happy and had everything we needed. Bula takes on a whole new meaning here. The team sincerely wanted to make our stay the best and we felt it every day. There are simply too many staff members to thank by name here and I feel it’s unfair to only list a few. So very thankful to them ALL for an outstanding job that felt like we made true heartfelt connections. The island itself is so very beautiful and the waters are gorgeous, clear, clean and full of natural wonders. The ocean is the source of daily beauty and abundance here at Kokomo. So many activities available. Our family did many snorkeling, diving and sailing excursions. Mantas, whales, octopus, small reef sharks, hammerheads and colorful tropical fish were spotted. We were completely spellbound by the marine life and hours spent in the ocean.stand up paddling and kayaking, too. The grounds and landscaping are rich, colorful and full of bright plants, flowers and trees. So many birds and even fruit bats at night. Each stroll I took there were many things to see like the organic gardens, the yoga pavilion view and sunrise by the helicopter landing is something you don’t want to miss. The island layout was easy to navigate and there are golf carts to pick you up when needed. You may walk or ride by cart anywhere on the island. The villas are large, lovely and well maintained with serenity in mind. We used our villa pool daily, but spent more time swimming in the ocean and walking the beach. Such comfortable beds! Daily house keeping, drinks and waters, turn down service and pampering Pure Fiji products were so fabulous. The food is fresh, delicious and plentiful. The island is about connecting with the Fijian culture and relaxing into it. We felt the restaurants were naturally on point with the way of Kokomo. Each had a unique atmosphere and laid back island vibe setting. They each had a daily menu with tasty dishes and interesting specials. There was a curry night, Italian night, Mediterranean and Asian night as well. A great variety and so tasty, yet quaint and kept more intimate and one-of-a-kind by the chefs and cooking teams. No big over the top type restaurants here. Think smaller, family style and intimate. Let’s just say, the restaurant & bar teams rocked….you know who you are and we loved it! There is a smaller but ample gym and many classes at the activity center for adults and children. Many sports and fitness classes. I particularly either basket weaving, flower arranging, yoga, private gym training and painting class. Many beach & water activities. Our family did a two private group events. One was a Kava ceremony on the beach which was very special at sunset. It’s something not to be missed and part of The Fijian way of life. We also made a birthday party on the beach and arranged for a special extravaganza meal, drinks and entertainment of fire dancers. Words cannot actually describe this event and evening for our family. The beach, the sunset, the atmosphere, attention to detail, gorgeous menu and fantastic entertainment was over the top. We felt like we were in a dream. Kokomo can help your group make magical events like this possible. Last but not least there is a wonderful small spa and we had massage and other spa treatments to complete our healing and wellness journey while on the island. Ahhh! Like on any island, do bring sunscreen lotion, mosquito repellent, and medicine for stomach. Mosquitos did get some of us, but not excessively. If you are the type that mosquitos usually go for (like myself when I go to Mexico, The Caribbean and tropical places) use spray repellent as needed. A very small inconvenience of nature, mosquito spray works….shower off later before bed. Truly, my review cannot express the gratitude and appreciation my family and I have for Team Kokomo Private island. We loved our vacation and all the people there. We will return to paradise again!
