Rebecca Wadey took her first trip back to Plantation Island Resort since 1986, read more about her experience and how the island has changed.
My first international family holiday, back in 1986, was spent on Plantation Island in Fiji. I have very vivid memories of the boat pulling away from the beach to return us to the mainland, and me sobbing hysterically as I waved farewell to Elizabeth from the kids club, aka my best friend forever.
‘Ah, Liz! She’s a great person. She lives in Sydney now’ reminisces resort manager Api, who started with Plantation Island back in 1991.
The resort has, obviously, changed a lot in the intervening 38 years, but its spirit, that I’ve held such vivid memories of throughout my life, has not.
