About Lapita Beach
Welcome to Lapita Beach
Lapita Beach is a private beachfront estate on beautiful Aore Island, just a short boat trip from Luganville on Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu. Here the lagoon is at your door and six kilometres of managed coastline and vibrant coral reefs form our private marine reserve — a peaceful sanctuary where the South Pacific feels truly yours.
Family-owned and conservation-minded, Lapita Beach offers an authentic island experience that blends relaxation, adventure, and a deep connection to the land and sea.
Tourism
Day tours & beachfront accommodation
At Lapita Beach we specialise in memorable beachfront holiday rentals and thoughtfully curated day tours. Wake to the gentle lapping of the lagoon, snorkel the reef before breakfast, or simply relax on your private veranda with the ocean at your feet.
Our self-contained beach houses and villas are perfect for couples, families, and small groups who want space, privacy, and direct access to the water. For those seeking adventure, join us on a Nemo Bay Ultimate Day Tour — snorkel colourful coral gardens, spot clownfish and turtles, enjoy an island-style beach lunch, and return with transfers, gear, and everything taken care of. We also offer half-day snorkelling to the dramatic Aore Wall and sport fishing charters, all arranged seamlessly by our local team.

The plantation
A working coconut plantation
Our story is rooted in the land. Lapita Plantation is a working coconut plantation where cattle graze peacefully beneath swaying palm trees. The estate also features productive hydroponic gardens and protected areas of virgin jungle — a harmonious blend of productive agriculture, sustainable living, and untouched natural beauty that defines the unique character of Lapita Beach.
