The multi-award-winning luxury lifestyle brand grows its exclusive private island collection — a portfolio which includes COMO Parrot Cay and COMO Maalifushi — with the addition of a 5.4 square mile island resort in the South Pacific.
COMO Hotels and Resorts unveils COMO Laucala Island,
a new private island escape in the South Pacific, slated to open 15 December 2021. COMO Laucala Island offers unspoiled wilderness surrounded by turquoise-blue sea and white sandy
beaches. At the heart of the island are tropical rainforests, volcanic mountains, blue lagoons, mangroves and coconut groves, fostering a unique habitat that is waiting to be explored. COMO Laucala Island will offer guests the perfect island escape in a unique and carefully
protected ecosystem.
This is a resort where space is luxury: 25 residences, each with their own COMO butler, spread out on private beaches, above lagoons, atop hills and mountains. With its private airstrip accessed by a 45-minute private air charter from the country’s Nadi International Airport, this exclusive sanctuary will provide unparalleled levels of luxury living in 25 standalone residences located on the northern shore of the island.
The carefully designed spaces are at one with nature and surprise with individual features and views out across the Pacific. Ranging in size between 3000 to 4000 sqm, all residences feature private pools. The construction has been carefully considered using local materials
where possible. The Residences are built with natural Fijian wood in a South Pacific style, and are blended seamlessly with COMO’s unmistakable contemporary flair.
Every imaginable activity is part of the COMO Laucala Island experience. A first for COMO, the island features a tropical 18-hole David McLay Kidd designed golf-course, a wide range of land and water activities, a fleet of jet-skis, sailing and game fishing boats as well as jet boats
and diving boats. The resort also offers horse-riding, mountain biking, nature hikes and tennis.
COMO Shambhala Retreat, the island’s wellness centre, is the embodiment of COMO’s philosophy for holistic, healthy living. At this nurturing retreat, guests can expect physical fitness classes, yoga, and a fitness centre. Treatments make use of COMO Shambhala’s
signature products, as well as the island’s herbs, spices, flowers, and fruits. COMO Shambhala’s signature Asian-inspired massages and body treatments using the island’s river stones, mineral crystals and rich volcanic soils are also provided.
To minimise its impact on the environment and in line with COMO’s farm-to-table philosophy, the island’s five dining options receive fresh produce from the resort’s 240-acre farm, cultivating a wide range of organic crops and livestock including chickens, quail and wagyu
cattle. Fresh seafood supplies are sourced exclusively from local fishermen, contributing to the island’s commitment to sustainability. Menus include COMO Shambhala options, which are high in flavour, nutrition, and low in fats and refined sugars.
