Vomo Island is part of the Mamanuca Group of islands and is located off the north-western coast of Viti Levu, the largest island of the Fijian archipelago. Vomo Island is a typical south-sea island paradise and lies approximately 35 kilometres north-west of Nadi International Airport from which it can be easily reached via helicopter or seaplane, or if you prefer, by boat from Denarau Marina. Vomo Island is considered to be the prettiest and the most northerly of the Mamanuca Islands and stands in an isolated position to the north-east of the group. It is a large, uninhabited island which covers 90 hectares and is dominated by Mount Vomo which rises in the south-east. Surrounded by crystal clear waters and pristine sandy-beaches Vomo Island provides visitors with a luxurious and exclusive resort and a unique destination which offers seclusion, isolation and tranquility.
Vomo Island lies on a roughly north/south axis and was formed by volcanic activity over 150 million years ago which can be witnessed through the volcanic core of Mount Vomo, and the nearby Vomo Lailai which rises from the sea to the north-west. The hilly interior extends to the north and south of Mount Vomo with the north-western and western coastline portions of the island being formed by coastal lowlands. The lowland areas have been enlarged and fortified over time by massive coral deposits which extend into the sea and surround the island. It is here, shaded by the towering palm trees and surrounded by well tended gardens that the villas of the Vomo Island Resort can be found. Providing visitors with a large inviting pool, a small golf course and tennis court, this beautiful island resort can also be explored by the more energetic via a simple network of hiking and jogging tracks or a simple walk around the island. The resort offers a complete range of water activities including snorkelling, stand-up paddle boards, kayaking, sailing and wind-surfing. Scuba diving, deep-sea fishing and scenic helicopter tours are available.
In typical Fijian fashion the weather is generally warm through the winter months and hot and humid during the summer. The summer months, December to March, are also referred to as the wet season although the western areas of Fiji are generally drier than the eastern parts.
