There’s never been a better time for locals to escape to Castaway Island Resort. A private island paradise in the heart of the Mamanuca Islands, just a short boat or helicopter ride from the mainland.
Known for its white sandy beaches, turquoise lagoons, traditional thatched bures nestled among swaying palms and genuine Fijian hospitality, Castaway offers a true island experience where time slows down and nature takes center stage.
The resort has become a beloved haven for romantic getaways, family holidays for our overseas guests, and with our special local rates it offers a well-deserved break, that make island luxury more accessible for locals more than ever.
Guests can snorkel vibrant coral reefs, enjoy oceanfront dining, join cultural activities, or simply relax beneath the stars, all while experiencing the signature warmth of Fijian hospitality.
Families in particular will love the resort’s floating water park, a fun and safe playground on the sea with slides, obstacles, and splash zones, perfect for kids and adults alike to cool off and enjoy endless laughter under the sun.
Adding to the resort’s legacy of sustainability, Castaway officially opened Fiji’s newest Coral Gene Bank on June 13, 2025. Launched in partnership with Counting Coral and Outrigger Resorts, this striking underwater sculpture now holds over 500 genetically selected corals, designed to restore and protect reef systems for future generations.
Guests can snorkel around the structure, learning firsthand about marine conservation and the importance of protecting our ocean.
Guiding this extraordinary island experience is the general manager Steven Andrews, who has proudly served the resort for 20 years.
His dedication has helped shape Castaway Island Resort into one of Fiji’s most welcoming and thoughtfully operated destinations, where every local guest feels valued and at home.
Whether it’s for rest, reconnection, reef discovery, or family fun, Castaway Island Resort invites you to experience everything this magical island has to offer.
