Fiji’s Lomani Island Resort & Spa boasts a new wellness centre set to open by April. The Herald’s Alanah Eriksen was able to shut out all the noise in paradise and take a sneak peek. It took a while to realise what was missing.

And then it hit – the constant shriek of “mummy, mummy, mummy, watch me” that usually accompanies a swimming pool. Followed by a loud splashing sound that sprays a few people. Late last year I got a sneak peek at the adults-only Lomani Island Resort & Spa’s new wellness centre before its official opening this year.

I’ve had plenty of massages but, usually, any tranquillity you’d felt 10 minutes prior dissipates the moment you step out of the spa and back into the rowdy real world..
