Castaway Island, Fiji to Re-Open in March

Castaway Island, Fiji was forced to temporarily close as a result of damage sustained from Severe Tropical Cyclone Evan in December 2012.

Over the past months, a tremendous amount of work has been undertaken by all staff to restore the resort to its former glory. The private island resort will reopen, refreshed, enhanced and on time as promised, 31 March 2013.

Geoffrey Shaw, Chairman & CEO, retained all staff during the closure period, however their job descriptions were revised to assist the reinstatement works. "During the closure, all our staff have played a huge part and taken ownership in the reinstatement of their much loved island resort. The outcome we have achieved would have been an uphill battle without their commitment and loyalty" he said.

All bures are now rethatched and many received new tapa lined ceilings and air conditioning units. All bures have been refreshed and refurbished in advance of the end of March reopening.

Hundreds of plants from the Castaway nursery and many hundreds more purchased ensure the palm fronds are swaying and the gardens are flourishing with lush tropical blooms throughout the resort.
Castaway's white sand beaches retain their magnificence, as do the pristine coral gardens and reefs surrounding the island and beyond for swimmers, snorkelers and divers alike.

"We look forward to again welcoming our guests to enjoy the renowned warmth and genuine hospitality of Fiji's most popular private island resort" said Mr Shaw.
