Sofitel Vomo Island Resort

Frommer's Review

One of the most interesting aspects of this luxury resort is Vomo Island itself. An unusual clump of land, it features a steep, 550-foot-high hill on one end and a perfectly flat, 200-acre shelf surrounded by a reef edged by brilliantly colorful corals on the other. Plans were to install a signature fine-dining restaurant on a black-rock outcrop at the end of the plateau, where it will have a view of the steep cliffs on Vomolailai (Little Vomo), an islet offshore. Vomolailai has a small beach, where you can go for private picnics. The main restaurant sits adjacent to the beach, a deck-surrounded pool, and a stylish bar. It serves excellent Asian-influenced cuisine, with dinners often taken poolside. Some of the luxurious guest bungalows climb the hill to provide views of the reef and sea, although I prefer those along a fine stretch of beach. Some of the beach bures are in duplex buildings, so ask for a self-standing one if you don't want next-door neighbors. On the other hand, about half of the duplex units interconnect, making them good choices for well-heeled families. All of the well-equipped units have sitting areas with sofas, and their large bathrooms have both showers and two-person Jacuzzis. Vomo sits on the border between the Mamanuca and Yasawa islands. Most guests get here by seaplane or helicopter.
