Private Island Cottages in Remote South Pacific Paradise

If Tom Hanks' character in the film Cast Away had washed ashore just a shade to the southeast, his troubles would've been over. Located about 10 miles from the island where the film was shot, Mana Island Resort & Spa brings a touch of luxury to this remote patch of land surrounded by pale blue waters and coral reefs. The fact that the 300-acre atoll is reachable only by boat or plane from Fiji's main island drives home a sense of seclusion that might be hard to imagine back home.

Mana's guest rooms bridge the space between two brilliant beaches at the islands narrowest point, less than half a mile wide. Ocean-view rooms face the north coast of the island, granting occupants views of the endless Pacific from their private patios. Nested amid tropical gardens, the island bures are modeled on traditional Fijian bungalows—single-room structures topped with traditional wood-and-straw thatched roofs. Exposed rafters in the high-ceilinged bedrooms match their hardwood floors, and open-air showers allow guests to model their bath-time vocals on the surrounding birdsongs.

In addition to the usual resort diversions—tennis, volleyball, lounging by the pool—Mana hosts daily activities that open a window into Fijian culture. The rotating schedule includes traditional Polynesian dancing, basket weaving, and bush walks that bring visitors up close with the island's diverse birdlife, which includes the kingfisher, honeysucker, and fruit bat. The Boat Bure rental shop outfits guests with snorkeling gear, kayaks, and boogie boards, and a babysitting service frees parents to file tax exemptions on the beach. Local outfitters Awesome Adventures and South Sea Cruises organizes parasailing, jet skiing, and diving excursions to some of the most dazzling soft coral reefs in the world.

All meals are prepared at the resort's two beachside restaurants, which also offer limited room service to most accommodations. Mamanuca, the more casual of the two, hosts a themed buffet dinner every night, in addition to the daily American buffet breakfast included with this deal. South Beach Restaurant occupies the other end of the dining spectrum. Skillfully prepared Italian, French, Polynesian, and Japanese fusion dishes befit the elegant setting on a trellised patio overlooking the ocean.
