Boutique hotels in Aore Island

Aore is a small island across a narrow channel from Luganville on Espiritu Santo, close to the wreck of the SS President Coolidge and the reefs of Million Dollar Point. It is quiet and green, with a long beach, coconut groves and a handful of small resorts, which makes it a calm base for divers and couples who want to be near Santo's town.

Where to stay

Aore Island Resort is listed by Spacifica as a boutique beachfront property on Espiritu Santo, and Barrier Beach Resort, aimed at adults and couples, is described the same way. Both are reached by a short transfer.

Good to know

Diving is the main activity, with operators in Luganville running trips to the Coolidge and the reefs. The dry season from May to October is the easiest time to travel. Confirm current availability and facilities directly with the resort.
