If you want to get away from it all this is an ideal place to stay. A very nice house on a very quiet private beach with everything provided. You'll be self-catering so be sure to bring your groceries and drinks! You can do as much or as little as you want, I went snorkelling with Sean at Nemo Bay which was spectacular!

Beautiful Sunset

My recent stay in Laptia's hidden gem was an unforgettable experience. From the serene location to the thoughtful amenities and exceptional service, every element exceeded my expectations. Nestled on the western side of Aore Laptia offered unparalleled tranquility. The peaceful ambiance provided a much-needed escape, and the sunsets were truly magical, painting the sky with unreal colors. The amenities were well-curated, ensuring comfort throughout. The fully equipped kitchen, including a gas hob and fridge, was a delight. The beach's supply of driftwood for bonfires added a rustic charm, while the shoreline bonfires accompanied by the waves created an indescribable experience. Yet, the standout was the extraordinary customer service. Matthew, our host, was a true asset. His assistance with taxis and insights about the island enhanced our stay. His genuine care and dedication elevated our experience. Not to be overlooked, the beds were exceptionally comfortable, ensuring restful nights for more adventurous days. In conclusion, Laptia getaway was enchanting. With its mesmerizing location, well-furnished amenities, and exceptional service, it's a must-visit. Whether drawn by the serene surroundings, captivating sunsets, or warm hospitality, every aspect of our stay was flawless. Eagerly anticipating a return to this captivating escape for its heartwarming experience.

It’s a fascinating process, and I love highlighting the beauty of our lush surroundings.

There’s nothing quite like exploring the underwater wonders of Vanuatu’s vibrant reefs or casting a line into the crystal-clear waters. I take pride in sharing my local knowledge and passion for our marine life with you.

Liz: I hail from the East Coast of Espiritu Santo, the neighboring island, and I’m the manager of Peter Beach Detours. My goal is to show you the authentic beauty of Vanuatu, steering clear of the typical tourist traps. Whether it's cultural experiences or hidden gems, I’m here to make sure you see the real Vanuatu.
As for all of us, our true love is Nemo Bay. It’s a stunning spot on Lapita Beach, perfect for a beach barbecue, swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing for the day. We cherish those moments in the sun with our guests, making memories while enjoying the incredible natural beauty that surrounds us.
Thank you for joining us, and we can’t wait to share the wonders of Vanuatu with you! Enjoy your stay!
