Kokomo Private Island Fiji
Kokomo is a private island in the remote Kadavu group, ringed by the Great Astrolabe Reef, one of the largest barrier reefs in the world. Twenty-one villas and five hilltop residences, all with private pools, butlers, and direct or panoramic ocean views, are the only accommodation on the island. Organic gardens supply the kitchens, the diving and game fishing are world-class, and an all-inclusive model means the island simply takes care of you from arrival. It is seclusion at the highest level, with a famously large and warm Fijian team.
Why it's on the list
Kokomo is the definition of the one-resort private island, and it does it as well as anywhere in the South Pacific. The Great Astrolabe Reef on the doorstep puts it among the best dive and snorkel addresses in Fiji, the villas and residences are generous and deeply private, and the all-inclusive approach removes every point of friction. With a staff of around 350 for a small number of guests, the service is genuinely exceptional. For honeymooners, divers, and families wanting total seclusion, it is hard to beat.
How to get there
Kokomo lies in the Kadavu group, reached by a roughly 45-minute private seaplane or helicopter flight from Nadi International Airport, the arrival itself a highlight as the aircraft descends over the reef. The resort coordinates the transfer with your international flights. The remoteness is the point, and it rewards a stay of several nights.

Dining
On the property
Dining is all-inclusive and spread across the island's restaurants, among them Beach Shack, Walker D'Plank, and Kokocabana, with island-grown and locally sourced produce shaping a fresh, relaxed but elevated menu. Beach dinners, reef-to-table seafood, and in-villa dining are all part of the experience.
Nearby
Dining is on the resort. Kokomo is a remote private island with no local restaurant scene, and all meals are included in the stay.
What guests say
Guests consistently rate Kokomo at the very top, praising the enormous, warm Fijian team who are credited with going far beyond expectation, along with the diving on the Great Astrolabe Reef, the privacy of the villas, and the all-inclusive ease. The arrival by seaplane is a recurring thrill. The main consideration is the journey: Kadavu is genuinely remote, so this is a destination for a longer, settle-in stay rather than a quick add-on.

Good to know
Twenty-one villas and five residences with private pools and butlers, all-inclusive, on a private island ringed by the Great Astrolabe Reef. Fiji's drier season, May to October, brings the best weather; divers should ask the team about conditions across the year.
