Plantation Island Resort

Mamanuca Group


If children aren't your thing, be sure to check your calendar for school holidays: this huge place is a firm family favourite. While the littlies go berserk with the excellent Coconut Kids Club, waterslide, mini-golf course and dozens of squeal-inducing activities, parents relax with beachside massages, in the grown-ups pool or on the nine-hole golf course (from $32).

Rooms and bures come in a dizzying array of options: all are spotless and have enough space to accommodate families. Optional full meal plans (adult/child from $132/44) are available, though many guests prefer to spread their meals between the resort eateries and Ananda's Restaurant (mains $25-40) near the airstrip.
