Kokomo Private Island Fiji: 140-acre private island paradise on the Great Astrolabe Reef in Fiji with private infinity pools and Walker d’Plank dining
Set across a 140-acre private tropical island enveloped by turquoise lagoons and the world-famous Great Astrolabe Reef on the Kadavu island group in Fiji, Kokomo Private Island opened in 2017 as the passion project of Australian property developer Lang Walker. Designed as an unpretentious all-inclusive sanctuary of ultra-luxury, the 26-villa retreat offers direct access to the world’s fourth-largest coral reef. Powdery white-sand beaches, lush rainforest peaks, private infinity swimming pools in every single residence, the open-air Yaukuve Spa Sanctuary, and sea-to-table dining at Walker d’Plank make Kokomo the crown jewel of the South Pacific.
Arrival introduces travelers to the legendary warmth of Fijian hospitality: the Kokomo team welcomes guests on the private beach with a joyous choral 'Bula' song and fresh chilled young coconuts after a 45-minute private helicopter or seaplane flight from Nadi. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke South Pacific reef, diving, and island pursuits: diving or snorkeling the Great Astrolabe Reef alongside manta rays, sea turtles, and reef sharks, chartered deep-sea game fishing for marlin and mahi-mahi on Kokomo’s private Riviera yacht fleet, paddleboarding across calm turquoise lagoons, hiking to private waterfalls, and reserving dinner at Walker d’Plank.
Island living balances world-class oceanic adventure with holistic wellness: the Yaukuve Spa Sanctuary is hidden amidst lush tropical gardens, offering open-air treatment bures and therapies utilizing Sodashi skincare and local cold-pressed virgin coconut oil. Dining is exceptional: sea-to-table pan-Asian dining at Walker d’Plank (where Chef Caroline Oakley creates custom menus with daily catches and produce from the 5.5-acre organic farm), Mediterranean fine dining at Beachana, and poolside cocktails at the Sunset Bar.
Accommodations comprise 21 beachfront luxury villas and 5 hilltop luxury residences ranging from 115 to 1,000 square metres. Each residence features traditional Fijian timber architecture, private infinity swimming pool, walled tropical garden, private beach access, king beds, and marble bathrooms with outdoor showers.
Divers, families, and luxury travelers seeking 140 acres of private Fijian island luxury, Great Astrolabe Reef diving, and private plunge pool villas with dedicated butlers in Fiji should book Kokomo Private Island without hesitation. Travelers seeking commercial cruise ship ports or high-rise casino resorts should look elsewhere. Grounded review consensus confirms legendary standing with a 4.9 out of 5 on Tripadvisor across 560 reviews and a 4.9 out of 5 on Google across 440 reviews.
