Not only is Plantation Island Resort the perfect destination for your next couples getaway, but it’s also a welcoming place to spend your next family holiday or group get together. It offers great value for money deals; has fantastic amenities and access to countless adventure activities, proving it really is all you can ask for.
Step into the tropical paradise surrounded by a blue lagoon and you’ll immediately understand why it’s one of the most beautiful – and photographed – South Pacific islands. Of the island’s 553 acres, the Plantation Island Resort utilises 110 of them for tropical landscaped gardens. If that’s not enough outdoor beauty to get your heart racing, how about the seven-kilometre strip of white sandy beaches and stunning coral reefs?
There’s a great range of accommodation options available at the resort, from newly built hotel rooms through to beautiful beachfront bures. No matter which variety you choose, you’ll have all the mod-cons you require, including overhead fans and your very own patio or balcony to watch the world pass you by.
Once you’ve settled into your room, you’ll want to check out the activities on offer at the resort. Surfing, golf, kayaking, scuba diving and sailing can all be organised here, or you could simply sit back and be pampered with a luxurious massage or laze by the pool. The addition of a floating inflatable waterpark means you can grab a towel and catch some rays while the kids have some fun. You may even find yourself sliding down with them. The area is perfect to engage in a few casual sports with fellow holiday makers and locals, and the crystal clear water will never look more inviting than it does after a game of beach volleyball in the hot sun.
