Bungalow 1
A double bed and a single, a fan and a verandah right on the beach. Best for couples.
From 5,000 vatu a night
Welcome to Little Paradise
Your own little bungalow on Port Olry beach.
Five family-run bungalows on the sand at Port Olry, Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu. Fresh fruit for breakfast, turquoise water out the front, and Tarcisius to show you around.
Slow down, you're on island time.
Why come to Port Olry?
There are plenty of beautiful places in Vanuatu to get away from it all. What makes Port Olry different is the pace of life.
You'll be staying in a village where people live simply and in step with nature. At sunrise the fishermen get their canoes ready before heading out for the day. It looks like something out of a film, but here it's just an ordinary morning.
Dolphin Island, from the lookout on Tarcisius's walking tour.
You've seen this view before.
Lots of resorts around Santo use photos of Port Olry and Dolphin Island, even though they're nowhere near it. We're right here, and it's the view from your verandah. Have your first swim in that turquoise water and you'll know you've arrived.

Tarcisius's walking tour
The rainforest here is full of food.
Tarcisius grew up in Port Olry. He'll walk you from the beach into the rainforest and show you how much grows wild that you can eat, and which plants the village still uses as medicine. Then it's up the hill for a view over the whole bay and Dolphin Island.
- 2 to 3 hours
- 1,500 to 3,000 vatu each
- Up to 12 people
Not staying with us? You're still welcome. People come along from the other bungalows on the beach, or up from Luganville and Champagne Beach for the day.
Five o'clock on the beach
Kava with Tarcisius
Most evenings around five, Tarcisius shares kava with his guests on the sand, looking out at Dolphin Island. There's a little custom that goes with it, and he'll show you how it works when you're here.
It's a lovely way to finish the day and meet the other guests before dinner.
All a short stroll away
