Contributor - Andrew Barnes | Head of Travel • 10/23/25
Tucked away in the heart of the South Pacific, surrounded by the translucent blues of the Great Astrolabe Reef, lies Kokomo Private Island — a destination where luxury transcends expectations and nature steals the spotlight. This is not simply a resort. It’s a private island retreat that redefines the concept of indulgence, offering guests a sense of place so profound, it feels like arriving home in paradise.
Kokomo is built for those who value privacy and space. The island features 21 oceanfront villas and five lavish residences, each seamlessly blending Fijian-inspired architecture with modern luxury. Spacious interiors open to expansive decks with private infinity pools, outdoor showers, and direct access to pristine beaches or elevated ocean views.
Inside, the design is understated yet elegant — natural woods, woven textures, and soft linens create a soothing palette that echoes the island’s tranquility. Every detail is intentional, from the fresh tropical flowers placed daily to the bespoke minibars stocked to your preference.
For families or groups, the multi-bedroom residences offer full kitchens, personal butler service, private pools, and sweeping views of the surrounding reef and jungle canopy. Whether you're seeking romantic seclusion or a luxurious space to reconnect with loved ones, Kokomo delivers intimacy without compromise.
Dining on Kokomo is a journey of its own. With an on-island farm producing organic fruits, vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers, the menus are deeply seasonal and infused with local flavor. Whether it's a sunrise smoothie bowl, a Fijian seafood feast by the beach, or a Japanese-inspired tasting menu under the stars, every meal is crafted with care and creativity.
You might find yourself enjoying a wood-fired pizza by the pool at midday, then dining on the freshest line-caught fish beside a candlelit lagoon come evening. For those who prefer ultimate privacy, in-villa dining is available at any time — with custom menus curated by the chef to suit your tastes.
Dietary preferences and culinary desires are not only accommodated — they’re anticipated. The staff will remember how you like your coffee, what time you prefer breakfast, and which wine you enjoyed the night before.
One of the most captivating features of Kokomo is its proximity to the Great Astrolabe Reef — one of the largest and most pristine reef systems on Earth. The island is a paradise for divers and snorkelers, with vibrant coral gardens, manta rays, sea turtles, and reef sharks all within easy reach.
Even for beginners, guided excursions make exploring the underwater world accessible and exhilarating. Snorkel straight off the beach, or join a private dive charter to discover remote coral bommies and dramatic drop-offs.
Water adventures don’t stop there — kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, and deep-sea fishing are available daily, and private island picnics can be arranged on nearby uninhabited islets. For families, sea trampolines and glass-bottom boat tours make the ocean come alive for kids of all ages.
At the heart of the island is the Yaukuve Spa Sanctuary, a peaceful retreat surrounded by jungle and birdsong. Treatments draw on traditional Fijian therapies and use locally sourced botanical ingredients. Choose from a coconut oil massage, a volcanic clay body wrap, or an herbal facial designed to soothe and rejuvenate.
Beyond the spa menu, wellness is a way of life at Kokomo. Sunrise yoga sessions, sound healing ceremonies, and beachside meditations help guests recalibrate to the island’s unhurried rhythm.
Kokomo doesn’t just exist in nature—it supports and protects it. The island operates with a deep commitment to sustainability, from solar power integration to reef conservation programs and sustainable farming.
The team partners with local communities, invests in marine research, and ensures that every element of the guest experience—however luxurious—leaves a light footprint. As a guest, you’ll feel the impact of this ethos in subtle yet meaningful ways, from the farm-to-table dining to the eco-conscious design of your villa.
A typical day on Kokomo is anything but ordinary.
Morning: Wake to the gentle hush of the tide and the scent of frangipani drifting in through your open doors. Enjoy a fresh juice and tropical breakfast on your deck before heading out to snorkel with manta rays.
Afternoon: Return to the island for a leisurely lunch and a restorative massage at the spa. Then, perhaps a nap by your private pool or a reading session in a hammock beneath the palms.
Evening: Take a sunset cruise with champagne and canapés, followed by dinner under a canopy of stars. End your day with a soak in your outdoor tub, the warm night air laced with the distant song of island birds.
Kokomo Private Island is more than a luxury resort—it’s a state of being. Every moment is curated to bring you closer to nature, to yourself, and to those you travel with.
It’s ideal for couples seeking a romantic escape, families wanting quality time together, or solo travelers in need of renewal. With its world-class service, untouched surroundings, and genuine heart, Kokomo offers not just privacy, but presence.
In a world of endless destinations, Kokomo Private Island stands alone—where the days are yours to shape, and the memories are yours to keep.
