Since 2018 we’ve been available at Hong Kong and Singapore airport lounges, hotels and clubs. Add to that our all new website which features every page of every edition online as well as news and reviews, products and competitions for the Pacific. With a team of highly experienced publishers, journalists, photographers and marketing professionals, we are delighted to bring you the Pacific’s only regional holiday and lifestyle magazine, nominated as Australasia’s best inflight magazine for our Samoa Airways edition in 2018 and 2019.

From all of us at Pacific Island Living, we say thank you for many wonderful years of support and growth. We look forward to bringing you many more editions from more amazing countries across the Pacific.
