The peculiarly named Castaway Island, known by locals as Qalito, is a remote resort to the west of Fiji and one of the many landmasses that make up the volcanic Mamanuca Islands archipelago. There are three daily sailings from the harbour to the mainland port of Denarau all operated by South Sea Cruises.

The luxury bures are located on the beachfront and surrounded by tropical gardens and there are a number of fantastic restaurants serving up delicious local delicacies. The island is not short of activities with tennis courts, surfing, windsurfing, gorgeous swimming pools and kayaking there for the more active. For those who want to get closer to the magnificent marine life there are dolphin safaris, snorkelling safaris and glass bottom boat tours. The scenery is breath taking and going on a bushwalk to this stunning islet is a must for visitors.
