Sails Beach

Upon arriving at Sails Beach House, I was immediately impressed by the beauty of the place. Nellie, the owner, has clearly put a lot of thought into every detail, making the whole place look stunning. The outdoor hammocks and al fresco dining area were perfect for the tropical setting. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, and I was pleasantly surprised to find a bottle of champagne waiting for us in the fridge. It was a fantastic way to start my Vanuatu adventure. The house also had a private lagoon area and a beach right in the backyard. Since we were on Aore Island, we had to take a water taxi to get to town, which required some planning ahead. The cost was 1,000VT each way, and sometimes the taxis operated on 'island time,' so it's something to keep in mind. However, I soon realized that the boat rides were one of the highlights of my trip, and I now miss the daily commute by boat. During high tides, the boat could even dock right at the backyard, providing a unique experience. Nellie was incredibly helpful and had everything prepared before my arrival in Vanuatu. She provided a comprehensive guide to Santo, allowing us to plan our activities from the comfort of our home. George, the caretaker, was also fantastic, taking care of all the little details and checking in on us regularly. I highly recommend Sails Beach House as one of the best places to stay in Santo, regardless of the type of group you're traveling with. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Vanuatu.

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
