Castaway Island Resort

Castaway Island, a four star resort in the Mamanuca group of more than 300 Fiji islands, is located due west of Nadi international airport. Castaway provides a unique South Pacific island experience - a great way to relax, unwind and enjoy life’s simple pleasures: comfortable accommodations, great food and a host of day and night time activities from which to choose. The moment you come ashore you sense the difference, for Castaway is not just an island – it is people – the warmest, friendliest bunch of Fijians you are ever likely to meet.

Fiji's most popular island resort has guests returning year after year to experience the magic that is "Castaway". The island's 174 acres are covered with lush tropical vegetation, surrounded by white sand beaches and encircled by vibrant coral reefs. Our spacious yet secluded bures and creative island cuisine along with the warmth and genuine hospitality of the Castaway family of staff combine to provide a unique holiday experience. Castaway is the heart and soul of the Fiji Islands.

Castaway offers sixty six spacious, traditionally thatched Fijian style bures (bungalows) with a choice of beach front, ocean view or island location. All bures feature one king size bed and most include two additional single beds in their configuration, with those bures comfortably sleeping up to four persons.

In the interests of maintaining the quality of the Castaway Island experience, our policy is set to limit a maximum of four persons per bure (or up to ten persons in our one family beach bure).

Each traditionally thatched bure features a high vaulted "tapa" lined ceiling with overhead fans. In most bures, sleeping and living quarters are separate with the emphasis being on privacy and comfort. All bures feature quality island style furnishings, fabrics and linen. Additionally a refrigerator together with tea and coffee making facilities are provided.

Dining

Your day starts with a Castaway buffet breakfast including Fiji's tropical fruits and juices, cereals, a selection of hot dishes and accompaniments including bacon, sausages, eggs any style, fresh baked croissants, hotcakes and Danish pastries, tea selection and fresh brewed coffee. Our all day casual dining menu features light snacks and meals throughout the day to early evening.

At night we dine alfresco under a canopy of Castaway stars overlooking the clear waters of the Pacific. Our a la carte menu features the freshest Fijian seafood and crustaceans, with prime grade beef, poultry and local Fijian specialties together with fresh vegetables, crisp salads and crusty home baked breads - complemented by a hand selected wine list. Additionally our gourmet wood fired pizzas available in the Sundowner Bar are not to be missed.

The meal plan may be purchased on the island and is flexible recognizing various arrival and departure times. The meal plan does not include alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and specialty coffees.

The Water's Edge Restaurant can't be missed, with its large white umbrellas and sweeping view providing the ideal setting for Castaway dining. A magnificent starlit setting at the water's edge is enhanced by the music and songs of the "Castaway Islanders" with their acoustic guitars and island style bass. Covered breeze-conditioned dining in our "Bure ni Vutu", bure beside the vutu tree, is adjacent to our water’s edge terrace.

Our Italian style gourmet wood fired pizzas featuring a thin, crisp base and delicious topping alternatives are offered at our Sundowner Bar.

Wednesday Fijian Feast and Meke: Our traditional Fijian Feast is served every Wednesday evening. You will want to witness the lighting of the fire, built over dry river stones in the fire pit. Once the stones are white hot this traditional earth oven, or Lovo, is ready to receive seafood, meats and root crop vegetables prepared by first wrapping in banana leaves and palm fronds. The food parcels are then placed on those stones and covered whilst cooking. This unique method delivers truly delicious food for our buffet feast with a sensational island flavour.

Your Castaway family will perform a traditional Meke of Fijian songs and action dances at 6:30 pm followed by the Fijian Feast at 7:00 pm. Don't forget...'no sulu, no dinner’!
