Aore Island Resort is a magnificent beachfront resort set on a private and secluded tropical island just 3km across the bay from Luganville town and aquamarine. The resort is surrounded by working cattle and coconut plantations.

The accommodation at Aore Island Resort is in comfortable well appointed bungalows built along the beach surrounded by lush tropical gardens. All rooms have private bathrooms, fridges, electric fans and tea/coffee making facilities.  The resort also features a quality open air restaurant and bar on the beach, which provides you with stunning views.

The Resort has 16 Bungalows:              
8 Standard Beachfront Bungalows
3 Deluxe Gardenview Bungalows
5 Deluxe Beachfront Bungalows

The Standard Beachfront Bungalows are on the waters edge with a balcony overlooking the ocean. With 1 double bed and 1 single bed, they are suitable for 2 adults.

The Deluxe Beachfront Bungalows are on the waters edge with great snorkelling right in front. These large suites have a double bed in the separate bedroom and a living area with a modern two way bathroom. They have large balconies with views across the channel to Santo. They are suitable for 2 or 3 Adults or 2 Adults and 2 Children.

The Deluxe Gardenview Bungalows are the same as the Deluxe Beachfront but set back from the beach in the garden. They are surrounded by tropical plants and lawn.

The Large Nakamal with a wide balcony is the centre of the Resort. It houses the Bar, Restaurant and Lounge Area. Lunch can be eaten in the Nakamal, on the verandah or around the pool. Evenings are relaxing and guests can wander down from their bungalows and sip cocktails as they watch the sunset or relax in the Lounge area and listen to a Local String Band. Dining on the verandah with the lights reflecting across the water from the town creates a special ambiance unique to Aore Island Resort.

Yachties are welcome at the resort and Aore’s seafood buffets have quite a reputation! A regular free ferry takes you across the bay in a few minutes to access dive operators and facilities in town.
