Aore Island Holidays

Aore Island isn’t a resort experience. It’s real island living. Stay just across from Luganville on Aore Island, where the pace slows down and the focus shifts to the ocean, the breeze, and simple, comfortable spaces. Our accommodation is designed for travellers who want something genuine. Not polished. Not crowded. Just clean, functional, and set in one of the most naturally beautiful parts of Vanuatu.

Expect ocean views, open air living, and an off-grid setup powered by solar and generator. You’ll have everything you need, without the extras you don’t. Days are spent swimming, exploring blue holes, visiting local villages, or doing nothing at all. If you’re looking for barefoot  luxury, this is it.
If you’re looking for an experience you’ll actually remember, you’re in the right place.
