Hideaway Island Resort, Port Vila, Vanuatu, South Pacific

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, with coral reefs ideal for snorkeling or scuba diving right from the shore. 

The vast majority of staff on the island come from the local village and therefore are also the landlords. As such, they take pride in the place and their warm and friendly natures mean they'll go out of their way to make sure you have a good time whether you decide to sit back, relax, and take the world as it comes, or pack your days full of the variety of activities available on Hideaway or in nearby Port Vila. However you choose to enjoy your time, one thing is certain: while you are here the rat race will seem a million miles away. With no TV or phone in your room, relaxation and peace of mind are yours for the taking.

One Bedroom Oceanside Bungalows

All the one bedroom bungalows have spectacular views over the water and are placed to see either the sunrise or the sunset. With interior floor space of approximately 60 square metres, they are more than generously proportioned. The bathroom, living area and separate bedroom all work together to help you make the most of your prime position next to the ocean.

Double doors in the bedroom mean that, depending on the degree of privacy you require, you can even lie in bed and take in the views. Each one bedroom bungalow has either a wooden or coral deck with chairs and a double hammock, to really help you get into the swing of things.

The bungalow include a fridge and coffee/tea making facilities, comfortable sofa setting and table and chairs in the living area. If required there is room for an additional double bed or bunks to be placed there. 

Studio Oceanside Bungalows

The four Studio Oceanside Bungalows are similar to but smaller than their one bedroom counterparts. All are located on the south-eastern side of the island to catch the prevailing breezes and have a small garden with a hammock so you can laze and overlook the waters of beautiful Mele Bay.

These Melanesian-style units are all free-standing structures with coral walls and local art works to decorate them. Each bungalow has its own unique flavour due to the materials available at the time they were built and their position on the island.

Many also have bathrooms where you can enjoy a shower and the view at the same time, a testament to the privacy afforded by their lush tropical surroundings. In these bungalows the living and bedroom area are in one room. Each contains a double bed and a lounge setting, as well as bunk beds if required. Each bungalow has a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities.

Twin Share Rooms

Also called twin-dorms, the six twin-share beach units are ideal for the budget conscious couple or single traveller who’d like a little bit more privacy than a standard dormitory offers. Located right on the beach, the lodges are in a prime position for lazing and watching the world go by. They are located in a house-like structure with a wide wrap-around covered veranda with tables and chairs out the front and sides. Ideal for lounging on and taking in the dramatic views.

The rooms are furnished with a double or twin beds, a small cupboard and a hand basin. Separate shower and toilet facilities are close by.

Quad Share Dormitory

The new two storey building, with a larger 185m² footprint, incorporates six new dorm rooms able to accommodate up to 26 guests. Each room has a ceiling fan, individual bunk lights, power outlet and lockers. The central communal area provides a lounge area with TV, VCR & DVD facilities. We’ve also provided a lighted bench area for camera setup, with extra power outlets for charging stations. Unlike the old dorms, the new facility provides separate male & female changing facilities, each with two showers, three toilets & two wash basins.

The entire building is built using poured concrete & blocks, providing excellent protection from the elements and sound attenuation between adjacent rooms.
