Plantation Island Resort has strengthened its standing as one of the South Pacific’s most popular family holiday destinations, receiving top honours from Australia’s two leading family travel publications at the end of 2025. The resort was named Best Family Resort at the 2025 Out & About With Kids Readers’ Choice Awards and also claimed Best Resort in Fiji (3–4 star category) at the Holidays With Kids Readers’ Choice Awards.
