A Resort Built With Family For Family

The family's commitment to creating unique experiences has firmly established Kokomo as a world class, yet boutique destination for many travellers.

This exclusive tropical haven was built with a focus on family, inspired by the vision of the Walker family. Not just a place of beauty, Kokomo’s commitment to preserving this island home for many generations to come can be found woven throughout Kokomo's conservation programs.

A passionate endeavour by the Late Lang Walker AO

Kokomo is not simply a destination. It’s a vision realised. The island is the legacy of its founder, the late Lang Walker AO, who set out to create the ultimate private island experience: a place of unrivalled luxury built on the foundations of sustainability, community, and stewardship.

That ambition has shaped every facet of our offering, from the edible gardens that fuel the island’s culinary program to its comprehensive reef restoration initiatives.

Our People, Our Culture

Kokomo’s team is the heart of our island. A family of hosts, storytellers, chefs, carers and creatives who carry the spirit of Fiji in everything they do. Their warmth isn’t scripted; it’s lived, shared, and felt in every interaction. This is a culture built on connection, generosity and genuine pride in welcoming guests into our island home.
