Owned by renowned Australian property developer Lang Walker, Kokomo Private Island is located on Yaukuve Levu Island in Kadavu.

The survey compared rates at luxury hotels around the globe based on the cheapest available double room during the month of August 2021. Only hotels with at least 10 guest rooms were considered for the survey. The Brando, situated on the beautiful private island of Tetiaro, leads the ranking with a minimum price of US$4,818 (FJ$10,028.85) per night this summer. Perched on one of a dozen small islands that surround a spectacular three-mile wide lagoon, the all-inclusive resort features 35 secluded villas with private pools on pristine white-sand beaches frequented by sea turtles and exotic birds.

Second priciest according to the survey is Amangiri in the US state of Utah, while Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas in the Indian Ocean completes the podium positions. A remote hideaway in Canyon Point, Utah, Amangiri is a favourite for those seeking both adrenaline-fuelled adventure and peaceful desert retreats.
