While it might be difficult to leave the premium resort of the Wakaya Club & Spa, one reason to step off the private island is to take one of their sensational scenic helicopter flights. Wakaya works with Pacific Island Air to create memorable experiences flying over vast coral reefs, glistening waters and uninhabited islands across the Koro Sea.

6. Play Golf or Tennis on a Private Island Resort

Even on a secluded island in the South Pacific, you can find modern joys in life like golf courses and tennis courts. On Toberua Island, the 9-hole golf course was founded by celebrated Australian artist Ken Done and offers fun challenges including nine hole par three, which is only playable at low tide. The golf course on Wakaya Island is also a 9-hole course meandering through a coconut plantation established here in the colonial era. Both resorts also offer well-equipped gyms, while a fully lite tennis court is also available on Wakaya. For more resort options in the Lomaivitis, see 10 Best Resorts in the Lomaiviti Islands.
