“This is an ideal location for that remantic weekend away.”
The one of best things I found at this resort was the menu that changed daily. The food was fresh and plentiful and was reasonably priced. The cabins were spacious and cleaned daily, I loved the isolation and private beach. The staff were wonderful, friendly and accommodating.

“Great place and great service.”
It is a beautiful resort. It is on a separate island from Santo and because we booked via booking.com and not directly, we had to pay for transport from the airport which is provided for free if you book directly (so book directly). There is a boat going back and forth from Santo 4 times a day so you need to be organised. Staff was amazing. The food was also great (lobser, crab, Santo beef but also other meals). The houses are lovely and comfortable. Snorkelling in front of the resort is nice too. You are provided with snorkels and reef shoes. The owners are very nice and friendly, always trying to help. Great diving is available from the dive shop next to the resort. They also have mountain bikes available at the resort and pool. The gardens are the resort are amazing. You do feel like landed in paradise.

“Highly Recommended”
The staff were amazing and always willing to help where they could. The food was always fresh and changed daily depending on availability. There were plenty of tours available to visit local attractions, all organised by the local staff. The Bungalows were clean and comfortable. Towels were changed every day and rooms were cleaned and made up. With the high humidity this was needed as everything stays damp very easily. The Bungalows were right on the water, stunning views and really convenient for regular swims. Paddle Boards and Kayaks are free. The resort has entertainment some nights - string band, grass band, water dancers, Kava tasting, weaving, coconut milk making to name a few. We had a great time and will definitely be returning.

“Picture perfect surroundings, beautiful people and can’t wait to get back there!”
The resort is a tropical oasis filled with all the essentials so you can focus on kicking back, exploring, snorkelling bike riding… The owners and staff have hit on the right formula and we felt welcome and special throughout our stay

A perfect little paradise island our villa was 5mt from the ocean the view facilities and room were excellent. The owner met us off the boat and came to the dock to say goodbye which made us feel special. The food... omg amazing, they had free canoe paddle boards, snorkles and bikes to use whilst on the island, we also had some water dance entertainment a real relaxing holiday. Our trip was cut short because of a cancelled flight but still managed to see the blue holes champayne beach million dollar point and olray beach. With a little cava experience as well. Not sure i recomend. :( lol . The snorkling was amazing too just under the deck not huge but enough to get your imagination wondering what else could be out there... thanks Aore Island we loved our stay. ❤️🐠🐚🦐🌴🥥🇻🇺 J&C W.

“Good option to relax a few days”
Good option to relax a few days away from everything. Beautiful resort and lovely staff. Good food too, prices are at higher end but that is to be expected in a resort like this.

“Perfect in every way.”
From the moment we were met at the airport to the personal farewell from the owners, our stay at Aore Island Resort could not be faulted in any way. The location is perfect paradise. The staff friendly and attentive. The food was excellent with a varied menu. Snorkelling in the clear waters directly outside our fare was exceptional.
