The Ultimate Escape:
Uepi Island is approximately 2.5 km
long and up to 600 metres wide, and the whole area, aside from the resort's cultivated
tropical gardens, is covered with tropical rainforest interspersed with walking tracks.
The lagoon side of the island has a sandy beach, with clear shallow water suitable for
swimming, paddle and sail boarding, and canoeing.
The seaward edge of the island drops
into 2,000 metres of water where "The Slot", a deep sea trench, meets Charapoana
Passage, one of the few deep water passages from the lagoon. Diving and snorkelling
are popular activities along the fringing reef areas. Sites close to the Resort are
highly populated with marine life and always exciting, because of the pelagic species
which move along Charapoana Passage.
Accommodation<
There are six timber
bungalows set in tropical gardens. Four of these are on the beachfront of the
lagoon. Two are set back a little with their own garden views, but there is still
easy access to the beach.
All bungalows have a king size bed and a double bunk, tea and coffee making facilities,
fridge, separate shower and toilet, luggage rack and clothing storage space.
