Will be back!
We had a great time at Aore Island Resort. The room was spacious and comfortable. The staff friendly and food was fantastic. There's lots to do around the property or the shuttle boat runs several times a day to drop you off in Luganville to catch a tour or explore on your own.

OMG what a fantastic resort! We had the best 5 days at Aore Island Resort. The resort is beautifully maintained with lush tropical gardens and the bungalows have been designed and fitted out beautifully with so much attention to detail. Beds and pillows are very comfy and you can fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the ocean. You can snorkel from your doorstep and admire beautifully coral fish. There a a couple of lion fish right under the jetty and heaps of Nemos. Kajaks and subs are free to use. The food is outstanding - 5 star restaurant quality! And always prepared with love and served with a smile. They have a small menu that changes every day for lunch and dinner and offers a great variety of fish, seafood, meat and vegan options plus a outdoor pizza oven at the beach bar. The passionfruit cheesecake is a must! 😋 All staff are wonderful and make your stay that extra special. We had a beautiful jetty dinner to celebrate a special birthday. Big thank you to everyone at Aore Island Resort - we loved our stay and will definitely be back!!
