Vomo Island Resort

VOMO is family-friendly luxury in paradise. My husband and I, together with our family, enjoyed a wonderful five night stay here. The beaches are beautiful (great snorkelling), dining is excellent (especially at The Rocks), and service is friendly and sincere. Most importantly, we’d all like to thank Ana D for looking after us (including our young niece) with such warm, caring professionalism. She is an amazing asset to the resort and we all miss her already! Thank you so much.

Vomo is a truly wonderful resort - a fabulous experience. As we live in the US, it’s likely a once in a lifetime experience, but we would go back in a heartbeat if we could. We stayed in a beachfront unit which was spacious and had a large patio facing the beach. Extremely comfortable. The staff are outstanding, with genuinely warm and friendly service, always helpful. The food and non-alcoholic drinks are all included, and they are very high quality. We were there for 8 nights and the food was different each day - many cuisines. The chefs are very well-trained (we are foodies from the SF Bay Area, so we are used to great food - this really was great). The choice of two restaurants, one for adults only, was excellent as well. The Ocean Play staff were all wonderful, and we spent time with them daily, snorkeling and scuba diving. Snorkel gear is complimentary and high-quality, and there is incredible snorkeling off the beach at almost any time of day with super-clear water and an abundance of different types of corals and fish. As an excellent included bonus, there are snorkel trips by boat to many additional reefs just 5 minutes off shore. Amazing! For context, we’ve been to the Hawaiian islands about a dozen times and we’ve snorkeled for many years - Fiji has them beat for sure. My husband got scuba certified at Vomo which was also an excellent experience all around. While this resort is also known for its excellent kids club and many families were there, there is a beautiful pool for adults only, and the kids were never underfoot. There’s plenty of space for everyone, so that it often was the case that we were alone on a beach. Really such a special place!

We’re a group of 8 friends who have just had a week on Vomo Island staying at The Royal with an added villa. What an amazing experience! The travel from our night in Denarau to Vomo Island by boat, was seamless and it’s clear they know exactly what they’re doing. Within a few minutes of our arrival on Vomo, we were at reception and being introduced to Koli who was our butler for the duration of our stay. We can not rate Koli highly enough…he was exceptional! Koli was able to preempt our every need and his natural warmth and lovely personality made him so easy to deal with. We will truely miss Koli as he became such an important part of our group. On one of our nights, we had a bbq dinner at our accommodation and Koli organised the entire event. The table was set beautifully, and thanks to Ana the chef, and Sana to pastry chef…the food was outstanding! A memorable highlight was the arrival of about 8 staff members playing guitars and singing “Happy Birthday”. Beautiful people, beautiful voices. Another special mention must go to Lemeki who has been a delight to deal with and has a wonderful “can do” attitude. Thank you to all the staff of Vomo Island…we have memories for a lifetime. Happy long life!

Vomo was outstanding. The people and the staff where incredible. Koli is an exceptional butler who looked after us incredibly well. He is an absolutely fantastic young man who made our holiday. Lemeki was also very very good and so attentive. Chef Ana is also the best.

Wow! What can we say about Vomo that’s not been said before? The island itself is breathtakingly beautiful - stunning beaches (on both sides so you can always dodge the trade-winds!), picture-postcard sunsets, and some of the best snorkelling we’ve experienced anywhere in the world. Oh, and fruit bats! The fruit bats are awesome. There was something magical about watching them swoop through the mango trees at dusk each day. We were already convinced that Fiji is one of the most beautiful places in the world. But Vomo might just be the most beautiful place in Fiji. The accommodation and amenities are genuinely five-star - the whole resort is extremely well maintained and gives off a stylish “boutique hotel’ vibe, and our two-bedroom villa felt very luxurious…those full length sliding doors overlooking the Mamanuca beach are something else! The food and drinks are consistently excellent - the Lovo feast following the weekly Meke was a highlight, but every meal-time was a treat and we were particularly impressed by the variety and quality of the kids menus. We’ve probably put on about a stone each in the time we’ve been here! The daily activities, both complimentary and paid, are superb. Sundowner cocktails and a DJ at the pop-up “mamanuca beach club”, complimentary henna tattoos at the Boutique, fantastic massages at the Spa, live music every night at the Vuda bar, and of course the weekly Fiji night. We also tried the “vapour jets” which were great fun and highly recommended. And we we will remember snorkelling with the reef sharks at White Rock for a very long time. But most important of all, the staff are wonderful. Quite how they remember every guest’s name is a mystery to us, but somehow they do - we were greeted by name along with a big “Bula” practically everywhere we went, the whole week. We have to give a particular shout-out to Zenty, who took excellent care of us throughout our stay. But the whole Vomo team is fantastic, from the kids club to the spa to the guys at Ocean Play. It’s a very long way from the UK to Fiji, but a place like this makes it totally worth the effort. Vinaka vakalevu to everyone at Vomo, and we hope to be back one day!
