Located in the northeast part of the Fiji islands, Matangi Private Island Resort occupies only 10 of the otherwise 240-acre virgin tropical rainforest. The family owned luxury travel hotspot features 13 traditional bamboo bures and there’s no more than 30 people on the private island at one time. We suggest booking one of the three tree houses, which boasts spacious indoor-outdoor lounging with a day bed on the private patio, hammock and outdoor shower. Be sure to take the day trip to Tavoro waterfall—located in the 15,000 hectare Bourma National Heritage Park it’s a breathtaking Kodak moment.

CASTAWAY

For a true deserted island paradise experience, book a picnic at the horseshoe bay—the chef will pack a picnic for two and you’ll be dropped off by speedboat. The private beach is fully equipped with snorkel gear, kayaks, day bed, and walkie-talkie (should you need to communicate with the real world).

KID FACTOR

Not allowed unless island buyout.
