Location

Qalito, otherwise known as Castaway Island, is an inhabited reef-fringed island in the Mamanuca group. The 70-hectare (174 acres) is situated 20km from Nadi International Airport.

Getting There

Firstly, you need to catch an international flight to Nadi International Airport in Fiji. Then you need a transfer:

Air - There are two options here both taking around 10 minutes. One is by seaplane with Pacific Island Seaplanes and the other is by helicopter with Island Hoppers. Seeing Fiji, especially the Mamanucas, from the air is quite something.

Sea - Again you have two options. One with South Sea Cruises, which takes around 90 minutes, on one of it's 150-seat split deck catamarans with thrice daily trips to and from Denarau Marina. The other is a much quicker trip with your own personal water taxi with Mamanuca Express.

All transfer details are found on our Transport in Fiji section.

Rates are per bure per night. They range from FJ$900 to $1,150 depending on the proximity to beach. The big family bure is $2,400. There is a 20% government tax on top. (currency converter)
