A Hidden Paradise Aore Island
Lapita Beach sits on Aore Island in the northern Sanma Province of Vanuatu, just across the water from Espiritu Santo. Sharing a similar latitude to Port Douglas in Australia, this quiet corner of the South Pacific feels a world away from busy resorts and crowded beaches.
Aore is often described as one of the most beautiful islands in Vanuatu — white sandy beaches, clear turquoise water, healthy coral reefs, and the warm, welcoming nature of the local Ni-Vanuatu people. Swaying palms, lush tropical vegetation and spectacular sunsets are part of everyday life here.
Our private estate runs along the lagoon and includes access to a protected marine reserve, so beachfront accommodation and excellent snorkelling sit side by side. Nemo Bay, one of the highlights of the area, is a short boat ride away.
The island is roughly 11 kilometres long, in sheltered water between Espiritu Santo, Malo and the surrounding channels. Formed by volcanic activity and later coral growth, Aore offers dense tropical vegetation inland and vibrant coral gardens just offshore.
