Kokomo Private Island Fiji is a 140-acre private island resort within the Great Astrolabe Reef in Fiji. The all-inclusive destination is accessible by seaplane or helicopter, and includes beachfront villas and luxury residences with infinity pools, tropical gardens, and more. In addition to white sand beaches and a rainforest, Kokomo Private Island Fiji has a 5.5-acre farm where it grows a wide variety of fresh vegetables and fruits, a vanilla plantation that produces fresh vanilla beans for the pastry kitchen and desserts, 16 beehives, 170 free range chickens, and a hydroponics garden that supplies additional fresh produce year round.

Offerings include a variety of holistic wellness and adventure activities so that guests can experience all the island has to offer while exploring nature. From underwater caves and a waterfall to deep-sea fishing, diving snorkeling, and more, guests at Kokomo Private Island Fiji have the option to do as much (or as little) as they desire during their vacation in paradise.

The resort is also home to Yaukuve Spa Sanctuary—the largest spa in Fiji—where a team of highly-skilled therapists blend world-class Sodashi treatments with indigenous Pacific Island mastery massage and beauty rituals. The spa is nestled in a lush, tropical garden, features nine treatment rooms, and includes open bure (thatch-roofed villa) structure treatment areas and Hammam treatment rooms. Yaukuve Spa Sanctuary also offers Wellness Journey experiences, which include curated wellness menus, tailored movement sessions, wellness consultations, spa treatments, and complimentary activities such as yoga and water sports.

We spoke with Jacques Louw, Resort Manager at Kokomo Private Island Fiji, who shared insider tips, recommended spa treatments to try, and more.

Why You’ll Love It: Our guests love how Yaukuve Spa Sanctuary connects them to the natural beauty of the island.​ Kokomo allows guests to experience the many  healing powers of Fiji with  restorative spa rituals and traditions, administered by highly-skilled  therapists who have embraced the long-practiced healing traditions of the Pacific Islands. Embracing native Fijian nuances, our Relaxation Bure is at the center of the Yaukuve Spa Sanctuary, serving as a place to start your journey, transition and relax between treatments, and finish your experience in a tranquil environment.

Key Features: Beyond the Relaxation Bure, interconnecting pathways lead to bure-housed treatment areas, contained with an expansive tropical garden and water features that provide the relaxing sound of flowing water. Other amenity features of the spa include nine treatment rooms, a Moroccan Hammam treatment, curated Wellness Journeys, and yoga and meditation classes (also available for private in-villa and in-residence sessions).

Snacks Served: Guests can enjoy island-made hibiscus tea alongside a nourishing bliss ball with multiple nutrient offerings, like metabolism-boosting, antioxidant, or an ‘Inner Beauty’ Bliss ball incorporating ‘The Beauty Chef’ Inner Beauty Probiotic.  

Additionally, Kokomo's three-day Wellness Journeys include a 'Daily Wellness Cuisine' and unlimited refreshments (excluding alcohol). On arrival, a wellness consultation with a health practitioner will ensure your retreat is completely custom-made in terms of nutrition, holistic treatments, and activities.

Bonus: Guests can opt to get a massage in the privacy of their Beachfront Villa, settling into the natural sounds of the waves and outdoors, versus a sound machine. Truly a delight!

Insider’s Tip: Kick off your stay with the Jet Lag Recovery Treatment, which is part of the spa’s Kokomo Journeys selection. This restorative face and body treatment utilizes uplifting botanicals ginger, angelica, and lemongrass to stimulate the digestive system and strengthen mental clarity. After this, you’ll be on island time in, well…no time!

Unique Treatment: At Kokomo, one of our most unique offerings is the Royal Moroccan Hammam body treatment, practiced within a dedicated Hammam-inspired body therapy bure (thatch-roofed villa). The treatment offers ultimate exfoliation and detoxification through an ancient Moroccan multi-stage bathing ritual. Kokomo offers the one and only Hammam experience within Fiji.

Splurge Treatment: One of the luxurious treatments we recommend to "splurge" on are Yaukuve Spa Sanctuary’s Wellness Journeys. Guests are encouraged to explore one (or more) of the three  Wellness Journey experiences, which are comprised of consultations with skilled health practitioners, daily curated wellness menus, tailored movement sessions, and spa treatments, and access to a complimentary activities (e.g. yoga and water sports). The following are Yaukuve Spa Sanctuary’s Wellness Journey options:

• Activate: For guests looking to kickstart a new fitness regime or enhance a current active lifestyle. With an abundance of land and water activities, guests can work closely with the on-site fitness team and enjoy personal training sessions tailored to specific needs and fitness goals.

• Rest & Restore: ​A restorative program where relaxation and rest are key. Guests can choose this journey to soothe the spirit, restore the body, and enrich the mind.

• Bespoke: A personally crafted program based on how you feel in the moment, including tailor-made retreats to suit your wellness needs.

Insider’s Favorite: One of the most popular treatments amongst our guests is the ​Kokomo Seashell Massage. Specific to the Pacific Islands, warmed seashells are used as part of a comforting massage enhanced by the benefit of heat, which deeply penetrates the muscles to assist in relief of tension for ultimate relaxation.

Featured Products: Kokomo Private Island values naturally-derived, chemical-free products, which is mirrored in their offering of the luscious Sodashi skincare range. Sodashi is 100% sourced from the earth and sea, including extracts and essential oils of the purest and highest grade. Kokomo uses Sodashi's luxurious mud mask and Himalayan salt therapy to help guests focus on 'wholeness, purity, and radiance.'
