The Resort – Fun for the whole family in a breathtaking tropical location
An escape like no other awaits at Plantation Island Resort, an idyllic paradise where the whole family can enjoy an abundance of activities and adventures. From watersports to waterparks, the sky’s the limit when it comes to ways to fill your day. This is the perfect place for families with children or teens, couples seeking a romantic escape with a side of fun or groups of friends craving an adventure-filled tropical escape.
Splash your way through the waterpark, learn about coral conservation, go fish feeding, or explore off-island with a surfing or fishing charter or a day trip to Cloud 9, an incredible bar floating on a pontoon in the Mamanucas. When you want to take a break from the water, challenge your family members to a game of volleyball or tennis, or cycle around the island to explore each hidden corner – the opportunities are endless. Once you’ve worked up an appetite after a day filled with fun, choose from several restaurants, including the beachside buffet at Copra Restaurant and the a la carte menu at Black Coral Grill.
Your Handpicked Inclusions – FJ$500 dining credits, one buffet dinner & free activities for the whole family
Whether you want a themed buffet with live music to keep the kids entertained or prefer a romantic meal at Black Coral Grill, Plantation Island Resort has you covered with included FJ$500 dining credit to spend at your choice of five restaurants, plus an additional buffet dinner at Copra Restaurant for the whole family (two adults and two children) on one night of your stay.
For hours of guaranteed fun, your little ones can enjoy unlimited access to the Kids’ Club (aged 4–12 years), offering a daily rotation of activities, and teens will enjoy access to the Lairo Club (13–16 years). Take some of the stress of arriving and departing with children (under 12) travelling on the Malolo Cat ferry free of charge.
Plantation Island Resort’s new Water Park, for children aged 5-16 years, boasts six action-packed modules including the iconic Action Tower and innovative spring-free Aqua Trampoline. Make a splash as you slip down slides, using the handy re-entry pods to safely climb on or off the waterpark, or make use of other facilities on site including kayak hire or shooting some hoops at the basketball court. When you need a break from the water, you can find a myriad of traditional Fijian cultural activities, including traditional cooking lessons and coconut leaf basket weaving. Plus, stay connected with complimentary Wi-Fi in a variety of restaurants, bars and public areas.
