Treasure Island

Treasure Island resort is actually on the island of Elevuka, a member of  the Mamanuca group, a few kilometres west of Nadi. It's only about 200m by 100m in size, which worried us a bit when we were booking our Fiji trip. It was smaller than the Sydney shopping centre we were making the booking in.



It's fine for a couple of days though. They serenade you with song and music as you arrive and depart, and they provide good food, nice accommodation, and an excellent combination of relaxing or adventurous activities. They ought to really, as we seem to have been paying about $A400 a day.


You can swim in the swimming pool or go snorkelling, paddleboarding, diving or whatever on the coral reef that surrounds the place. (Unfortunately the 'whatever' included noisy jet skiing.)  Or you can lie in hammocks or deck chairs.

We dined in the general restaurant, but there were super-luxury exclusive dining options available for the likes of honeymoon couples. They even had a special wedding chapel on the island.

One of the nearby islands I think you can see on the horizon is Monuriki, the one where Tom Hanks got Cast Away on.

Lots of photo opportunities for scenic sunsets.


The island next door is Beachcomber Island. It has a resort on it too, and Beachcomber's even smaller than Treasure.
