Private Beach front House

Paradise! Your own private, self contained holiday house that is a secluded retreat on over 2 1/2 acres on the little island of Aore in Vanuatu.

​But, don't just sit there (unless you want to)!! Our Caretaker, Sandy, will grab you a fresh coconut from the tree and you can start to plan your adventure!

Aore Point Private Retreat is private, yet close to Luganville town (by water taxi), snorkelling out the front, room to kick around a football and less than 10 minutes from world class dive sites (Million Dollar Point, SS President Coolidge, and Tutuba reef within 5 minutes boat ride).

To ensure your stay is perfect, take a moment to read what is included with your accommodation and some of the necessary planning involved in a self catering retreat. Full details will be emailed on booking confirmation.

There are caretakers on site to help with any questions, and additional services are available including laundry, transfers to the local resort for dinner/lunch or drinks, local diving instructors and tours, guided tours with local company and water taxi.

The Planning:

It is necessary to do a little bit of planning but food options are increasing at the local Luganville market and grocery stores.

Basic staples are available at the local fresh fruit and vegetable market and are, of course, seasonal to the area.

The local butcher has very good quality beef, chicken and pork at great prices.

There is also a more traditional supermarket LCM which stocks more "western" food including tinned food, pantry staples, toiletries, chips, biscuits and fridge items like butter and cheese. Smaller, local supermarkets also stock a range of grocery items and souvenirs.

The Property is Direct Oceanfront:

5 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms with shower, toilet and vanity to each (Max 8 adults (additional strictly by approval only))

Self-catered living with fully functional and equipped kitchen.

Private beach always accessible 20 metres from house. Plenty of room to explore the coral during low tide and spend hours splashing around in the water.

Outdoor BBQ, seating, lounge area on covered expansive deck

Secluded and private, yet easy access to everything

Dining, shopping and attractions of Luganville within minutes of water taxi drop off point
