"Hi Island Magic Resort is a little bit out of Port Vila which we enjoyed. We also loved the self catering....could get fresh vegies and fish from the markets but also great to have Birdies cafe on site after busy day snorkling etc. The food was delicious especially the specials and the staff were lots of fun. The villas were lovely and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. It's also an easy walk to Tanna Coffee which was an added bonus."

Recent Reviews in Mele

Warwick Le Lagon - Vanuatu

10/10 Excellent

"The Warwick is a resort with many facilities to enjoy, you almost don't need to leave! The buffet breakfast was fantastic with lots of options. They also have a chef to make fresh omelettes and eggs your way. The rooms are starting to look dated but still functional. We chose a lagoon view room which gave us a beautiful view over the lagoon, out to the ocean and across to Erakor Island. The pools are great, but could use a few more banana lounges near them and on the sand overlooking the lagoon. They have water sports you can try like kayaks and catamarans. There is also an option to go out on a small boat and snorkel for $1500VT per person. We only found out about it from other resort guests. They do have some snorkeling gear but it isn't well maintained or that clean so would bring my own if I went back. We had a treatment at the spa. I don't indulge in spa treatments often and while it was nice, the room was old, walls a bit dirty and the towels were old and smelt funny. Overall it is a great resort for couples, families and friends."

Lagoon Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Lagoon Garden! The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful, and the service was warm, thoughtful, and attentive. We truly enjoyed our time here and felt well taken care of. Highly recommend this lovely place, and we would definitely love to come back!"

Beachfront Villa, Private Plunge Pool, Ocean Views, Mele, Port Vila

10/10 Excellent

"This place was amazing to stay at. Right on the beachfront and next to the river. Our own pool and the most amazing meals and cocktails onsite at The Mali Beach Club. Their staff are so hospitable. The venue is easy for collection and drop offs for buses, taxis and all our sightseeing activities from the bar or roadside, nothing was a problem. Walking distance along the beach to the Friday night fire show if low tide."

Holiday Inn Resort Vanuatu by IHG

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay at Holiday Inn Resort. We were able to get interconnected rooms for our family of five and this worked out well. The rooms were comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved the pool and all the little spots to relax, and the staff were friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. Buffet breakfast was reliable - pizzas at the pool were fantastic and we loved the fire show! Only real downside was the location, a shuttle service to and from town would have been helpful, as the independent taxi driver service was a little hit or miss. We did walk to the supermarket which was doable, but did feel a bit isolated - that said, it was quiet and had a relaxing outlook over the lagoon as a result of its location."

Iririki Island Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"It was so special to return to Iririki after enjoying our honeymoon there 18 years ago, this time bringing our children! The same warmth and hospitality greeted us, and we loved our stay in the deluxe family fare, Everything was excellent throughout our stay, we did the snorkelling tour, enjoyed massages at the infinity spa and had fun at trivia night and kava tasting. Snorkelers Cove is such a gem too! Special shout out to Ruby who was a consistent highlight. The island itself is incredible but it’s the staff who make the experience so wonderful."

The Beach Vanuatu

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location with a beautiful private beach. Bungalows were very clean, comfy beds, staff were amazing! So friendly and helpful. 100% recommend."
