Hideaway Island Resort and Marine Sanctuary is a small coral atoll that’s about as close as you’ll get to an unspoiled island paradise. The resort is located just 10 minutes from the airport and 3 or 4 minutes by ferry from the mainland beach.

The accommodation ranges from a luxurious villa with private swimming pool, 2 One Bedroom Villas, One Bedroom Bungalows, Semi-attached One Bedroom Bungalows and Twin & Quad-Share rooms with shared facilities. There are 27 rooms in total on the property.

Surrounded by clear turquoise water, coral reefs and thousands of fish, this Melanesian style resort is the custodian of one of Vanuatu’s only marine sanctuaries and an Underwater post office. Coral reefs, ideal for snorkelling or scuba diving right from the shore, are home to thousands of ‘tame’ fish. The experienced PADI Instructor and Dive Masters will ensure you see the best of every site whether you’re a first time or an experienced diver.

There is also plenty for the non-diver to do. A day on the island can be as busy or as quiet as you want to make it. In addition to snorkelling and scuba diving, you can try the kayaks and Stand-Up-Paddleboards, play beach volleyball, or use Hideaway as a base for a myriad of other tours and activities such as game fishing, visiting the Cascade Waterfalls or playing a round of golf just across the bay.

If you prefer a more relaxing holiday, you can always just sit back, relax and enjoy a beverage or meal from the beachfront restaurant as you enjoy the view of beautiful Mele Bay.
