A
tropical setting on 5 acres of absolute waterfront lawns and
gardens, for Luganville’s only true beach side resort located
just 1.6 kms from town and only 15 minutes from the
international airport. Far enough out from town to avoid the
noise but close enough for that early business appointment,
adventure trip or scuba dive.
Beachfront Resort offers excellent mid range accommodation
over-looking the sheltered waters of Segond Channel and Aore
Island.
Our fully licensed restaurant, The Coolidge Bar & Grill,
provides good food from both our regular and black board menus
plus a selection of cold beers and wines all enjoyed in
Melanesian style surroundings overlooking the swimming pool,
lawns and ocean.
We also make the best pizzas in town - eat in or take away.
All our bungalows are self-contained, air conditioned and/or
fan cooled including ensuite, refrigerator, a kitchenette,
insect screens plus toaster and tea/coffee making facilities.
Our Lodge is the answer to the budget conscious traveler
visiting our tropical paradise.
A continental breakfast, served in our open nakamal or around
the pool, is included with all our tariffs.
All rooms are serviced daily and we have plenty of off street
parking.
Activities include adventure tours to custom villages, ride a
horse along a tropical beach, scuba dive on the world's most
accessible ship wreck, the SS President Coolidge, snorkel our
pristine reefs or an aquatic American WW2 equipment grave
site, trek through exotic jungle, hire a car or jeep and
experience the island, putter around on a scooter, visit
coconut plantations and blue holes, paddle a dugout canoe down
a pristine river, visit WW2 wrecks, paddle a kayak to another
island and explore, trek through a cave and float down a
river, grab a rod and catch a big fish or just lay back and
enjoy a champagne sunset cruise around the islands.
The latest attraction is our range of two person Zego boats,
twin hull for fun and stability and fitted with 30 hp
outboards, these craft are great for a high speed ‘spin’
around Segond Chanel or explore the rivers and coastline.
Our ADSL wifi has coverage in many areas of the resort
allowing easy access to your email and for keeping up-to-date
with the internet. Enjoy a coffee or cold drink whilst on line
in our new open nakamal with plenty of power outlets to save
those precious batteries.
In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint and save costs
we’ve installed a range of energy saving devices from low
wattage lamps, solar hot water heaters to also recommending
our local Tusker beer as the bottles are reused by the brewery
and not buried. We also recycle aluminium cans – not an easy
task on a small south pacific island. See the environmental
page for more details.
In our restaurant we use as much locally grown, totally
organic, produce as possible including Santo’s famous organic
beef and seafood thus supporting Ni-Vanuatu farmers and
families and reducing our need for imported goods.
Later this year the final stages will be made to the islands
hydro power generation scheme, on the Sarakata River, which
will then generate almost 65% of the towns electricity needs.
