Lomani Island Resort

Malolo Lailai, Western Division, Fiji

2019

Nestled amidst the swaying palms and ivory sands of Malolo Lailai Island, Lomani Island Resort is a boutique adults‑only retreat rooted in romance and immersed in Fijian culture. Designed by Architects Pacific, the resort features 30 intimate beachfront bures and suites that offer sweeping ocean views and embrace tradition through timber detailing, local materials, and open-air layouts

Central to the design ethos is a seamless blending of built form and natural setting - structures are thoughtfully positioned to evoke a sense of village harmony, using low-slung profiles and native plantation pine to maintain calm and context. The new purpose-built wellness sanctuary, Lomani Spa, further elevates this ethos: a serene cluster of treatment bures and relaxation spaces discreetly nestled into jungle foliage, offering culturally authentic therapies in a cocoon of frangipani and coconut palms

Functionality was shaped by logistics, with builds prefabricated off-site and assembled swiftly on a semi-remote island - timber scissor trusses and portals were pre-stained and pre-fitted, enabling high-quality finishes and efficient delivery

The result: an immersive tropical retreat that celebrates Fijian tradition, romance, and environmental harmony - where every bures’ detail, spa ritual, and open-air space speaks to a profound sense of place and intentional design.
