Hotel Amenities

Bounty Island offers 48 acres of untouched land with tropical gardens surrounded by golden sandy beaches, clear pristine waters and a marine reserve that provides good snorkelling. The island takes 30 minutes to stroll around, is surrounded by sand (part coral in places) and has wonderful views looking back onto the man island of Viti Levu and out onto the other smaller islands of the Mamanuca Group. Beachcombing is good with lots of small shells along the beach.

Around The Island Secluded Bounty Island is a marine sanctuary in the Mamanucas – for this reason, there is an abundance of marine life and coral growth surrounding the island. Fishing is strictly prohibited within 400 meters off the island. There are rare (endangered) banded rails, parrots, white-eyes, honey suckers, herons, iguanas, nesting turtles on the island and geckos. The geckos live on spiders and various insects, which provide some balance to the environment that introduces guests to the miniature eco-system on the island.
