Aore Island, Vanuatu
Discover Lapita Beach, Lapita Plantation & Nemo Bay
Nestled on the stunning western shores of Aore Island, Lapita Beach and Nemo Bay are just a quick 10-minute boat ride from our private landing in Luganville on Espiritu Santo. This easy access makes it the perfect escape — where golden sands, swaying palms, and crystal-clear turquoise waters create the ultimate South Pacific paradise. Once home to Lapita Plantation’s lush coconut groves, it’s now Lapita Beach: a vibrant, welcoming destination blending natural beauty, island adventures, and relaxed luxury.
Where Paradise Meets Adventure
Fronting calm, swimmable waters at Lapita Beach and featuring the secluded Nemo Bay — our private marine reserve — this spot delivers the best of both worlds. Nemo Bay offers dramatic coral walls, vibrant clownfish bommies, and an untouched cove that feels like your own private slice of heaven. Snorkel in aquarium-like waters, relax on pristine sand, or explore the working coconut plantation and jungle trails that connect the two areas.
