Overview

Offering individual thatched bure accommodation, Castaway island resort is great for family holidays and has one of the finest children's clubs in Fiji. Castaway Island Resort in Fiji is an almost exact image of a traditional Fijian village, nestled amongst lush tropical gardens. The beautiful white sand beaches, coral reefs and outstanding Fijian cuisine, make Castaway Island resort a great holiday destination for those seeking a relaxing beach vacation and for the snorkelling and diving enthusiasts.
Accommodation
Castaway Island 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.

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.
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'!
Saturday Beach BBQ
Castaway's barbecue is featured every Saturday from 7:00 pm. Enjoy chargrilled steaks, chicken and fish Fiji style with crisp salads, homemade pastas, curries, local Fijian vegetables and more. Join in the beach party with the Castaway Beach Boys - fun and games for all to enjoy.
