The great resorts make it hard for you to leave. Think plush rooms with style, space and every mod con at your fingertips. First-class personal service is matched by quality cuisine. Spa treatments. Pools. Gyms. Shops. The list goes on and on. As lovely as it is, there’s one problem with staying in this blissful state of comfort. You miss out on everything the lives and breathes ‘outside’. But on our recent trip to Vanuatu, we made a concerted effort to leave the comfort zone.

In this issue we cover two of the South Pacific’s main travel trade events. Fijian Tourism Expo (FTE) and Parau Parau Tahiti (PPT) – each one brings a global network of travel reps to their respective destinations. We also put the spotlight on two very different Fijian resorts: Luxury private island, VOMO, which has recently extended its dedicated adults-only space and Garden Island Resort in Taveuni – a property that provides a brilliant base for divers and adventure travellers alike. On top of all that, we bring you travel updates from across our beautiful region.

In this issue we’ve put together a variety of fantastic travel options to consider for the cooler months. If luxury is on the menu, it doesn’t get more indulgent than Bora Bora. If you’d prefer off-the-beaten track,  we cruise unspoiled paradise in the Solomon Islands. And we meander the deep blue waters of Fiji with Captain Cooks Cruises.

In this issue, we take a girls-only trip to Hawaii’s Waikiki Beach. Sun, sand, spas, shopping, a bounty of dining and entertainment options – what more could four girlfriends ask for! We also explore Tahiti’s magical island of Moorea. We all know about the white sands and crystal clear waters of this picture postcard destination, but you might be surprised at how many different activities are on offer.

In this issue we feature three amazing resorts – Breakas Beach Resort in Vanuatu, Six Senses Fiji, and Daydream Island Resort in Queensland. Each one is an expert at lifting the weight off your shoulders!

We’ve been taking our kids up to the islands from the time they were toddlers, so the subject of South Pacific family travel is something that is very close to our hearts. Our kids have enjoyed many memorable moments - exploring different places, making new friends and trying things they’d never be able to do at home.
Even though we’re lucky enough to make this school holiday pilgrimage each year, the kids still look forward to it with as much zeal as they did the first time. While Family Time is a guide to family getaways and adventures in the Pacific, it’s also a record of our own Pacific journeys. We hope you enjoy the insights and ideas that we’ve picked up along the way.

Looking for a luxury adults-only getaway? In this issue we put the spotlight on Tokoriki Island Resort in Fiji, a 5-star boutique retreat where friendly, first-class service and a drop-dead gorgeous setting make for a memorable romantic escape. In this issue we also cover Tok Tok, Vanuatu Tourism's annual showcase to the travel trade. What we discovered was a vibrant destination brimming with a new energy. We hope you enjoy the read.

In this issue we put the spotlight on Nautilus Resort in Rarotonga. Sitting on the shores of Muri Lagoon, this boutique luxury haven offers one of the most sought-after resort experiences on the island. We also have the latest news updates from around the Pacific, plus we have two fantastic Pacific escapes to give away. We hope you enjoy the read.

New Caledonia is well-known for having a French influence that's become interwoven with island life. But until you actually visit New Caledonia for yourself, you do you realise the extent of its Frenchness. In this issue, Islandtime writer Mike Donaldson spends time in Noumea and discovers that it's just like being on the French Riviera. We hope you enjoy the read.

In this issue we start a new series called Resort Spotlight and our first subject is the InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa. We also take a look at the cream of Fiji's 5-star properties, plus we have all our regular news updates from across the Pacific.

In this issue we explore the underwater wonderland of the Solomon Islands. And we take in the laid back beauty of the Cook Islands.

In this issues we visit the Yasawa Islands, one of Fiji's most beautiful islands groups - there we stay at Paradise Cove, a spectacular boutique resort that's perfect for adults and children and alike.

In this issue we feature Sheraton New Caledonia Deva Spa & Golf Resort. Set in a beautiful regional park two and half hours drive north of Noumea, this resort is a great getaway for families, couples and anyone wanting to unplug from a hectic schedule. We also feature Taveuni - Fiji's Garden Isle flies under the radar, but it's a must visit for those seeking beauty off the beaten track.

In this issue we explore Niue, one of the South Pacific's hidden gems. With a local population that numbers just 1500, the island has a wonderfully relaxed vibe, but there's also a suprising number of activities for the visitor that likes getting out and about.

Norfolk Island - it's the small island with so much to offer and in this issue we discover why. Plus we cover the latest travel news from across the Pacific Islands. Enjoy the read.
