COMO Laucala Island: Top 100 Golf Resorts in the World

Is this paradise? Perhaps. COMO Laucala Island’s amenities are spectacular. First and foremost, with just 25 standalone homes on the property, you are essentially alone. But do not stay in bed. There are beachfront and water activities — horseback riding, sunset cruises, sailing, kayaking, surfing, diving, snorkeling and fishing. There are wellness activities — the resort terms it a “Shambhala Retreat.” There is a farm tour. Speaking of food, there are the bars and restaurants — four are on the island, and each features a dynamic menu and home-grown produce. And then there is the golf. Cut through the jungle, the course is a challenge. But it is scenic. And memorable, especially the par-5 12th, with a green that extends to the beach. And with so few folks on the island, you can probably play 36. All of COMO Laucala Island is luxurious. As is this — the only access to the island is through either your own private jet, or the resort’s, which you board at Nadi International Airport.
