A family owned boutique hotel with a rustic vibe and beachfront location.
Turn off that early morning alarm and slip into vacation mode at Maolo Island Resort. Set among golden sands and swaying palms, the only thing more refreshing than the view is the feeling of the shallow waves lapping at your feet. The vibe is rustic with plenty of authentic Fijian character and there’s a homey appeal that spills from every corner. It’s warm and friendly, with the occasional touch of grandeur thrown in for good measure. You could easily while the days away lazing back by the pool, but if you do feel like getting out and about, there are tons of activities and excursions for you to get stuck into.

Facilities
A choice of four bars and restaurants will keep your flavour cravings at bay morning, noon and night. The Terrace is the main restaurant and has a buffet-style setup that’s perfect for trying lots of different things. If it’s a more sophisticated vibe that you’re after, Treetops’ has a menu of delicious a la carte dishes to choose from, and for light bites and snacks, the Beach Bar is your go-to. There’s also a swim-up pool bar serving beers, cocktails and soft drinks, so you can stay hydrated as you take a dip.
Treetops Wrap your tastebuds around fully-flavoured Pacific Rim cuisine and sample the many local infusions at Treetops. With stunning views overlooking the pool and lush gardens, this place is edged with a slightly more elegant vibe. It’s formal but friendly - the perfect place for those with older children to enjoy a family meal to remember.
Terrace Wide open verandahs and a grand entranceway make the Terrace restaurant a welcoming space to hunker down and indulge. Set back from the beach, it’s surrounded by lush, verdant forestry with spectacular vistas overlooking both of the resort’s sparkling swimming pools. It’s a beautiful place to dine, and the atmosphere is super friendly and relaxed, so there’s no need to dress up to the nines. Expect the finest, freshest produce the island has to offer with a range of unique dining experiences.
Beach Bar Soak up those spectacular sunset views at the Beach Bar. With a cafe-style menu, this place has an easy breezy feel to it that’s ideal for a quick refuel and laid-back bites. Choose from wood-fired pizzas, burgers, salads, fish and chips and more. In the evening, this place comes alive with family activities, a daily happy hour and live music, offering plenty of lighthearted entertainment for all.
Swim-Up Pool Bar Take a dip and have a drink at the adults-only swim-up bar. There’s a menu of tropical cocktails to pick from, as well as soft drinks, beers, wines and spirits. Choose your tipple and head straight to the daybed cabanas to unwind in style.
What's Included
Room only
With its tranquil rainforest setting, floor-to-ceiling windows and sumptuous treatment menu, the spa is the perfect place to switch off from it all and relish some well-deserved ‘me-time.’ There are a bunch of individual and couple’s treatments, all expertly performed by a premium wellness therapist and the products used are crafted using locally harvested natural ingredients for the highest standard of care. Your treatment room will have a private bathroom where you can pop on your bath robe, all set to enjoy a relaxing foot massage on the airy secluded verandah.
With tons of watersports and tours to choose from, there’s no shortage of stuff to see and do here. The resort kids’ club is ideal for children aged 4-12, with loads of fun and games to keep their thriving imaginations busy and entertained. And when in doubt, there’s nothing quite like a pool day to sink into those tropical island vibes.
Active types will get their thrill from a daily-changing schedule of activities, including stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, sailing and wind surfing. Be sure to make use of the complimentary snorkelling equipment for a closer look at the magnificent marinelife, and if you feel like venturing further afield, there are a bunch of sea tours in and around the surrounding Mamanuca Islands.
Tia’s Treehouse Kids’ Club was voted as the ‘Best Kids’ Club in Fiji’, and it’s not difficult to see why. Set back into the hillside, it’s nestled right beneath a giant mango tree, with an endless array of games and equipment for little ones to get stuck into. Khail’s Club is better suited to older kids, with a slightly more mature itinerary. Think traditional Fijian and modern games, books, arts and crafts, and a dance floor.
