VOMOfit: Daily Fitness and the Mt Vomo Challenge on a Private Fiji Island

A typical day starts at 7.30am at the Arrival Area, where guests gather for the complimentary VOMOfit class. The instructors vary the session day to day. On some mornings the group walks up to the yoga deck on Mt Vomo for stretching and the view out over the island and reef. On others the session moves into the gym and works with free weights. Sessions are free and open to all guests.

The Mt Vomo Challenge runs alongside the classes. You walk or run to the summit, pay $20 per climb, and the money goes to Cure Kids Fiji. Each climb puts you in the draw for a five-night stay at VOMO Island. The walk generally takes around 15 minutes; the fastest recorded runs are under four minutes. Mark Beretta, Channel 7's Sunrise sports host, is the challenge ambassador — he ran to the summit in 5 minutes 4 seconds in 2016 when the challenge launched, and his standing challenge to guests is "Are you Better than Beretta?".

Outside the morning session, fitness options on the island include a nine-hole pitch and putt golf course, which the resort describes as a challenging little course suitable for all skill levels. There are sets of clubs for adults and children, and both the course and the clubs are free to use. The tennis court has a synthetic grass surface and is floodlit for night play; racquets and balls are available free from the Arrival Area.

VOMO Island itself is a private island in Fiji, and the resort has been recognised with a number of awards, including being named the No. 1 Best Luxury Fiji Resort for Families by Holidays with Kids in 2025, a 2025 Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award, and Virtuoso Preferred Resort status. The island runs coral out-planting work from its own nursery and has a coral gene bank project.

The fitness programme is deliberately informal — there is no set retreat package, no fixed arrival date, and no minimum stay attached to VOMOfit. You book a stay at the resort and the daily classes, gym, golf and tennis come with it.
