    Destination Information

    Gizo

    Gizo is a tropical island of sparkling lagoons, crystal clear waters and palm-fringed beaches. You will find no shortage of activities departing from this stunning volcanic island. You can go snorkelling, kayaking, paddle boarding, biking, surfing, trekking and of course scuba diving. 

    Gizo’s history is an interesting one. The island was taken over by the central government after surrounding island tribes joined together to obliterate the Gizo’s native tribe, who had a reputation and history of barbaric headhunting practices. This then allowed land and property to be easily obtained by non-traditional landowners, subsequently leading to Gizo becoming the hub of the Western Province. During WWII this hub was occupied by Japanese forces to provide them with a base in the South Pacific, leading to several wrecks being located in this region.

     

    Sanbis Resort

    Located approximately 7 minutes from the Gizo airstrip by boat, Sanbis Resort offers the premier accommodation in the country, with each bungalow having its own private beach and a terrace with a stunning view across the lagoon. The resort boasts the best-stocked bar in the west. Fantastic meals are prepared by the international Chef and served by the very friendly and trained staff.

    Sitting amidst coastal trees and coconut palm is your Leaf House Villa with its veranda over a tranquil lagoon.
    Opened in 2005, Sanbis Resort is for the holiday-maker who wants something unique.
    Enjoy snorkelling in front of your private bungalow in 30-degree waters, join activities provided by Solomon Water sport located at the in-house dive centre or simply relax to your heart’s content.
