Hideaway Island Resort and Marine Sanctuary is a small coral atoll that's about as close as you'll get to a Robinson Crusoe island escape in the South Pacific, located in Port Vila on the Efate Island in Vanuatu. Power is generated around the clock on the island, water is fed from the top of the pristine Cascade waterfalls and outside of the office there are no phones or faxes.

Surrounded by clear turquoise water, coral reefs and thousands of fish, this Melanesian style resort is the custodian of one of Vanuatu's only marine sanctuaries. Efate Island's Coral reefs ideal for snorkeling or scuba Diving right from the shore are home to thousands of 'tame' fish who are more than happy to show you around, while our experienced PADI Instructors and Divemasters will do their best to ensure you see the best of every site, whether you're a first time diver, on a course, or just out to enjoy yourself.

Hideaway Island Resort welcomes all guests and has had visitors from the various P&O and Coral Princess cruise ships that frequent Port Vila.

There is also plenty for the non-diver to do. A day on the island can be as busy or as quiet as you want to make it. As well as snorkeling and scuba Diving, you can try sailing and beach volleyball, or use us as a base for a myriad of other tours and activities such as game or reef Fishing, visiting the Cascade Waterfalls or having a round of golf. If you prefer a more relaxing holiday, you can always just sit back, relax and enjoy the fare of our world-class chef as you enjoy the view of beautiful Mele Bay.

Hideaway Island Resort and Marine Sanctuary is far from the typical, with the emphasis on protecting the reef, while maintaining the character of this piece of Melanesian paradise.

Surrounded by beautiful blue waters and coral reefs teeming with life, the sand and coral beaches, palm trees and Melanesian style accommodation make Hideaway just about picture perfect. And you don?t have to give up too many creature comforts to enjoy it.

Accommodation on Hideaway Island has been built in an ecologically friendly manner; situated amongst the original tropical trees & foliage.

The accommodation ranges from a luxurious 2 Bedroom Villa with private Swimming pool, low bank One Bedroom Bungalows, Semi-attached One Bedroom Bungalows and Twin & Quad-Share rooms with shared facilities.

Activities & amenities on the island include a fresh water Swimming pool, games room with cable television and free DVD movies, free use of all non-motorized water sports equipment, restaurant/bar, beach volleyball, the Underwater Post Office, daily snorkel tour to Coral Gardens and Tuesday afternoon tours of Mele Village.

The food served up in our recently renovated ?On the Beach? bar and restaurant is just one thing that keeps our guests coming back here year after year. Where else can you sit with your toes in the sand overlooking beautiful coral reefs and crystal clear tropical waters while enjoying first rate food served up by a chef who?s worked around the world, but now calls Vanuatu home. A real local character, Bruce is as likely to share his humour with you as he is his food. Either is a real treat, and if you can get both, you?re bound to have a great night.
