"Welcome Family" is likely the first thing you will hear when you get off the boat and first step foot onto Malolo Island, and you certainly will feel welcome here.

This is a luxury resort on a remote part of the Mamanuca Islands that has been designed as a upscale escape for families and couples.

The house reef just offshore provides a daily dose of snorkelling adventures, but if you can find time to take your snorkel and mask off you will also find opportunities for hiking, village visits, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, jet skiing, fishing and more.

There is an excellent kids club, a spa with a jungle view and several dining options overseen by a South African Head Chef and Canadian Pastry Chef - a husband and wife team who make dining here a pleasure.

The bures have been recently renovated and are clean, modern and hip done in a plantation style.

This is the sort of place you can unplug, watch the sunset and reconnect with family.
