Malolo Island Resort, Fiji

Multi-award-winning, family favourite Malolo Island Resort is located in Fiji’s Mamanuca archipelago just 25 kilometres west of Nadi International Airport and is accessible by three-times daily fast catamaran or chartered water taxis running 24/7. This 100% Fijian family-owned resort has been a long-time favourite for families and couples alike and, over the years, has welcomed back tens of thousands of return visitors.

Malolo is a laid-back island, where palm-fringed beaches meet coral reefs and days unfold in barefoot rhythm. It’s Fiji at its most genuine: warm, welcoming, and wonderfully unpretentious.

Malolo Island Resort was voted one of the best resorts in Fiji.

Easter holidays at Malolo

The Easter school holidays are just around the corner and Malolo has limited availability in the back half of April and a tiny bit over Easter — but it’s filling quickly. If you’ve been thinking about swapping the routine for reef time, this is your moment. April at Malolo is all warm ocean swims, long golden afternoons and that beautiful mix of energy and ease that comes when families truly unwind. Kids make fast friends at the kids’ club, snorkels are on from breakfast, and sunset feels like a nightly celebration. Easter egg hunts under the palms. Beach cricket at low tide. Dinner by the water while the sky turns pink. It’s the kind of holiday they talk about long after school goes back. If April is calling your name, secure your bure soon — availability is limited.

Looking ahead? May is made for value

If your plans are a little more flexible, May onwards brings some extra reasons to say yes to Malolo.

Kids eat free

The Kids Eat Free offer makes family travel even more rewarding. Children dine for free when eating with parents — which means relaxed beachside dinners, easy lunches between swims, and no surprises at the end of your stay. More fresh fish and tropical fruit. More wood-fired pizzas. More dessert negotiations that always end in yes. It’s simple, generous value designed to make your family holiday feel effortless.

Freedom of Choice offer

From May onwards, the Freedom of Choice offer gives you resort credit to use however you wish. Maybe that’s a family snorkelling adventure or guided island activity. Maybe it’s sunset cocktails while the kids are at club. Or a massage at Leilani’s Spa, a special dinner, or simply covering those little extras that make a holiday feel indulgent. Instead of packaging you into fixed inclusions, we give you flexibility — because no two Malolo holidays look the same. Adventure hard. Relax completely. Mix a little of both.
