Fodor's Expert Review Lomani Island Resort

Malolo Lailai, Western, Fiji

There's plenty of room for romance in the 12, adults-only open-plan suites, around the 35-meter pool (it's big), and along the generous beachfront. The main area of this expanded former holiday house includes reception and an outdoor restaurant overlooking the beach and pool. Complimentary activities include snorkeling, sailing, windsurfing, hand-line fishing, kayaking, cooking lessons, bicycling, and Fijian cultural lessons. Suites are concrete with tile floors and are done almost exclusively in white. Each features a large couch in its living room and a king-size, four-poster bamboo bed. Hibiscus suites have views from both their living and bedrooms and outdoor showers; Nos. 11 and 12 are slightly closer to the sand while larger ones are set farther back on the grounds. Deluxe have larger, more stylish bathrooms but only their living rooms have ocean views, and five luxurious beachfront bure are steps away from the white sand beach. Lomani is an adults-only property, and has a year-round policy of only catering to children 16 years and older. There's an à la carte restaurant specializing in seafood, and three other restaurants are within walking distance.
