On our doorstep
A three-hour flight from Auckland and a 45-minute boat ride is all it takes to arrive in paradise. Perhaps an obvious albeit wondrous epiphany the instant you’re enveloped by the climate in a tropical hug and dazzled by a Fijian smile.
Six nights in the Mamanuca Islands exploring luxury resorts Vomo Island and Six Senses Fiji was my mission. Each with wellbeing and leisure activities, plus local produce and spa treatments on the menu; and each with environmental mantras played out among coconut palms, wild natural beauty and crystal clear waters.
Six Senses Fiji and Vomo Island are beautiful playgrounds for nature and us, and it’s wonderful these two thoughtful retreats are doing their bit to protect it.

Prepare yourself for a royal welcome. Vomo Island has a 72 per cent return rate for guests (that’s not a typo). It truly is a magical place. Until the 1990s it was reserved as a private getaway
