Plantation Island Resort

On Malolo Lailai Island in the Mamanuca group, Plantation Island Resort is a family-friendly beach resort fronting 7 km of white sand and a sheltered lagoon. It’s a 50-minute boat ride or a 10-minute flight from Nadi, with a pre-arrival/express check-in option at Port Denarau to speed up ferry transfers.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings among coconut palms and 23 acres of tropical gardens. Rooms come with private furnished balconies or patios, A/C and fan, tea/coffee facilities, mini-fridge, safe and bathrooms with shower and hairdryer. The vibe mixes island-chill with playful family energy — expect local touches, kid-friendly zones and a state-of-the-art waterpark for younger guests.

Soak in three outdoor pools (one with a water slide), lounge on a private beach, or unwind at the spa with massages and body treatments. Active types get PADI scuba, snorkelling trips, handline fishing, kayaking, tennis, mini-golf and a 9-hole par-32 course. There’s a kids’ Coconuts Club, Lairo teen club, arcade/game room, fitness centre, pool and beach bars, BBQ areas, boutiques and two mini-markets.

Event-ready with about 8,611 sq ft (800 m²) of conference and banquet space plus a business centre and 24-hour reception. Complimentary low-speed Wi‑Fi is available in restaurants, bars and public areas; higher-speed in-room access is available via prepaid SIM or paid Wi‑Fi. Ferry-terminal express check-in and concierge services help groups arrive smoothly.

Choose from three restaurants (including the Old Copra Shed) serving local and international dishes, nightly themed buffets and beachside dining. Grab snacks at the pool bar, beach bar or coffee shops, or order room service. Buffet breakfasts are available daily for a fee.
