Mandala Resort, located on the private island of Fetoko in Tonga's Vava'u island group, offers travelers a unique blend of luxury and sustainability. Catering to the growing demand for eco-conscious travel, this off-the-grid resort features biophilic design, integrating nature with its architecture to provide a serene and environmentally friendly experience. The resort’s five spacious, treehouse-style fales are built using native materials like locally sourced bamboo, and the island runs entirely on solar power. Rain barrels capture fresh water, while a solar-powered reverse osmosis system converts seawater into potable water. Guests explore the island in electric carts, further enhancing Mandala’s commitment to minimizing environmental impact.
Mandala Resort also provides a range of activities that immerse guests in Tonga’s natural beauty and culture. From private snorkeling trips in the surrounding clear waters, offering encounters with marine life like turtles and reef fish, to off-road tours on neighboring islands, the resort ensures that adventure complements relaxation. Visitors can also partake in traditional Tongan feasts and evening beach bonfires. Starting at $9,300 for a seven-night stay, the resort offers an exclusive, eco-luxury experience that includes locally sourced meals, beverages, and access to water activities, ensuring guests enjoy both comfort and sustainability in this South Pacific paradise.
