Last week, Outrigger Resorts and Hotels celebrated top recognitions at the 20th HM Awards, with their Fijian properties reeling in major accolades.

This is the second year in a row that Castaway Island, Fiji, has won Best Fijian Property. The small island resort is located in the heart of the stunning Mamanuca Islands. Known for its authentic Fijian hospitality, it is the place to disconnect to reconnect in a tropical island paradise.

Following on from a tremendous 2022 we now look towards 2023 as Fiji continues to shine in the South Pacific.”
