Our stay at the freshwater Plantation farm stay was absolutely amazing! The bungallow is so beautiful, it is situated directly on the beach and has an amazing sea view. They also have a super nice restaurant, with delicious meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Try the chicken Parmiggiana! We really enjoyed the evenings with Vini and Klaas, to talk about interesting topics by a glass of wine.
We did the diving at the coolidge, while we stayed at their accommodation and they drove us every time and picked us up. We also went snorkelling, right in front of the bungallow and the reef is pretty decent (we even saw morey eels and lion fish). It grows back slowly after the cyclone.

The room and are arrangement of accommodation is a little better than I expected from the photos. Nice private villas with the beach all to yourself. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Breakfast was beautiful, however a little taste of pacific would make it perfect. Maybe a few pieces of yam/taro/cassava and some cooked vegetables.

Thank you to Tricia and Russell for hosting us in this idyllic location. Collected from the airport and taken to stock up on supplies at the supermarket. Met by Russell at the jetty to take us over to Aore Island. Bungalow was spacious and very clean. Beautiful outlook over the lush gardens and bay. Loved waking up to the sounds of birds each morning and being able to snorkel from the bottom of the garden. Limited places to eat on the island and opening times not always correct. Tricia and Russell were very accommodating of any requests and helped arrange water taxi’s back and forth to Luganville. Can highly recommend 2 or 3 nights at Hibiscus Retreat…. you won’t be disappointed.
A classic in Luganville since 1975, Hotel Santo Vanuatu is a family-run hotel with a relaxed retro feel, and casual and unpretentious island service. It is a step back into the retro 70s!

If you are going to Santo, I would not advise to stay in Luganville but rather a resort on the East Coast. Not much happening in Luganville and not close to any of the attractions. If you want a rental car, book it early and preferably a 4WD as attractions are via dirt roads and lots of potholes.

To be fair on Luganville we were there for one day on a Sunday so everything was shut. But our room wasn’t an apartment so we couldn’t even cook noodles or anything, we literally ate crisps for dinner that night. I didn’t feel safe at night in Luganville. It’s way more rural than Port Vila. But it’s right where the boat to Ratua Island is which is why we were there. However I hear the rest of Santo is incredible. I just didn’t get to see any good parts of Luganville.

This town is small and just developing so is not very touristy which suited us fine. This part of Vanuatu is quite poor so facilities are not five star in most places. We enjoyed this, expect activities to be guide expensive, but worth it.

Rent a car and visit the Island. Santo has so much to offer.

Millenium cave is a must (you need to be in a good shape but this is very good.)
Going up north to Champagne beach, Lonnoc Beach, etc.... Turtle Bay
Blue Holes are worthwhile also... great time there.
We never saw so many turtles when snorkeling
People are very nice and friendly

Much more quiet than Port Vila, great for people than want to avoid crowds and explore local places yet still having all things you might need (wifi, banks, shop)

Barrier Beach is a beautiful location within easy distance of Luganville. The bungalow was lovely - very comfortable king size bed and great rainfall shower. We loved being lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves each night. We ate in the restaurant every day and the food was exceptional. The staff are friendly and no request is too much trouble. We were given a late checkout to coincide with out departing flight at no extra cost. Looking forward to returning to stay again one day.
The Espiritu was like a welcoming oasis each day after exploring the beautiful island of Santo whilst situated in the middle of the bustling little town of Luganville. Staff were amazing, super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Tara and crew for making our group welcome and for looking after us so wonderfully.
This is truly a hidden gem. While most accommodations in Luganville are very pricey, Kathy’s guesthouse is affordable. besides that, the place is set in a nice garden, in a local neighborhood. Kathy is extremely helpful and friendly. The room is clean and has some cooking facilities. there are two shops across the street.
Clean rooms and bathroom. Bed are comfortable enough. The staff was kind and polite, and were keen in helping me when I could reach them. Cheap option for low budget travel. Family owned, close to local life.
Hotel Santo is an authentic and historic hotel, with is history linked to diving at “President Cooligde”.
Hotel Santo is Vanuatu’s Raffles hotel. Staying there is the best base for Santo adventures.
