Kyoto-level serenity in Fiji. Kokomo sits on Yaukuve Levu inside the Great Astrolabe Reef and is built for private time that still feels alive.

Vail has two hearts. One beats in the old village near the covered bridge. The other beats here, in Lionshead, where the gondola climbs and the square feels like a pocket of Europe.

Some islands demand you do everything. Nevis politely suggests you do nothing.

Every path feels like it might lead to something — a hidden beach, a private dock, or a garden where the scent of frangipani hangs thick in the air.
