Fodor's Expert Review Musket Cove Island Resort & Marina

Malolo Lailai, Western, Fiji

This expansive, laid-back resort is best understood as a resort town—literally. Many guests rent bicycles and a general store sells groceries, including meats to cook at barbecues around the property. A variety of water sports such as windsurfing, diving, snorkeling, and kayaking are on offer, and the Australian owners' love of sailing is evident in the day-cruise, yacht-chartering, game-fishing, and Hobie Cat–sailing options. The five room categories all feature king-size beds and range from duplex Garden Bure to newly renovated Beachfront Bure to the 10 Armstrong Island Villas. The villas share a separate pool and BBQ and have their own decks on the water surrounding their circular private island, a bridge apart from the resort. The restaurant menu is upscale Continental with a seafood bent.
