Kokomo Private Island Fiji

What Kokomo Private Island Fiji does

Kokomo Private Island Fiji operates an ultra-luxury, all-inclusive private island resort on Yaukuve Island in the Kadavu archipelago of Fiji, adjacent to the Great Astrolabe Reef. The property comprises 21 Beachfront Villas (each with infinity pool and beach access) and 5 hilltop Private Residences, supported by three dining venues (Beach Shack, Walker D'Plank, Kokocabana), the Yaukuve Spa Sanctuary with Sodashi treatments, a renovated Fitness Centre with Reformer Pilates, a Yoga Shala, and an Above Par Golf Simulator. The resort is reached exclusively by seaplane or helicopter transfer from mainland Fiji.

The core experiential offering is built around the surrounding marine environment: PADI-certified diving on the Great Astrolabe Reef, world-class fishing with a Dock-to-Dish program, manta conservation experiences with The Manta Project Fiji, and coral restoration through six nurseries holding 10,000+ corals. Land-based experiences include cultural ceremonies (Kava, village tours), a Namara Private Island picnic, waterfall hikes, watersports, and a Kaji Kids Club. The resort's sustainability infrastructure includes a 2.2-hectare organic farm, 8 beehives, a free-roaming chicken coop, and 80% water recycling through desalination and greywater systems.

Revenue is generated through nightly all-inclusive rates (covering accommodation, meals, beverages, and select activities) plus ancillary revenue from PADI certifications, fishing expeditions, spa treatments, and bespoke events (weddings, corporate incentives, family celebrations). Distribution is exclusively direct — no OTAs or travel-agency intermediaries — via a SynXis booking engine, a 24-hour Sydney reservations office, and a Director of Sales & Marketing handling corporate and incentive accounts. Pricing is quote-based in USD and not publicly disclosed. The resort is operated by Kokomo Resorts Pte Limited, a Singapore-incorporated entity within the Walker Group Holdings portfolio, founded by Australian billionaire Lang Walker AO (1945–2024). The company employs 219 staff and has earned recognition from Condé Nast Traveller, Travel + Leisure, and the 50 Best brand.
