Enjoy a resort getaway in Vomo
VOMO is located in the Mamanuca Islands and can only be accessed by launch transfer, private speedboat, helicopter, or seaplane from Denarau. Now, this is definitely something worth splurging on.

The Vomo island also offers family-friendly activities and packages if you’re visiting with your younger explorers. There are daily resort activities, and if you’re travelling with kids but want to enjoy some free time for yourself or your partner, you can hire some baby butlers. Your kids can have all the fun they want without you having to worry about keeping an eye on them.
