Beachfront on Aore Accomodation | Private Escape in Vanuatu

If you're looking for beachfront accommodation on Aore Island, you don't have to choose between being close to Santo and having your own tropical island escape. Aore Island sits just across the water from Luganville on Espiritu Santo, but life here feels completely different. Think quiet beaches, clear water, tropical gardens, working plantations and boats instead of traffic.

Stay Right on the Beach

Stay Right on the Beach Beachfront on Aore is exactly that  beachfront. Step outside and the ocean is right in front of you. Swim, snorkel, fish or simply sit on the beach and watch the water. Turtles and dugongs are regularly seen around Aore, and some of our guests spend more time in the water than they do exploring Santo. It is private, peaceful and surrounded by tropical island life, while Luganville is only a short boat ride across the channel.

Stay on Aore Island and you are not cut off from Santo. 

Luganville and Espiritu Santo are just across the channel, so you can spend the day exploring blue holes, Champagne Beach, markets, restaurants and Santo's famous dive sites, then return by boat to Aore Island. It gives you the freedom to explore Santo without having to stay in town island accommodation at night, Santo adventures during the day.

Aore Island is part of the experience, not just where you sleep.

Explore working cocoa, vanilla and pepper plantations, walk old World War II roads, snorkel clear reefs, go fishing, look for dugongs and turtles or join local cooking and weaving experiences You can do as much as you like  or absolutely nothing. Some days the best plan is simply a swim, a book and nowhere you need to be.

Getting to Aore Island

Aore Island is reached by boat from Luganville on Espiritu Santo. Once you arrive at Santo Airport, you can travel to the waterfront and take the short boat crossing across to the island. For our guests, airport transfers and boat transfers can be arranged before arrival, and we can also organise a shopping stop in Santo so you can pick up groceries before heading across. The boat trip isn't just a transfer for many guests, it's where the Aore Island holiday really begins.
