Overview

The Moso Vanuatu is an exclusive boutique resort and dining destination located on stunning Moso Island, North Efate, Vanuatu. The Moso features a year-round outdoor pool and a private beach area. Largely untouched, Moso Island is an isolated sanctuary, surrounded by crystal-clear blue water and shaded by rustling coconut trees. Just under 3 hours flight from Brisbane and over 4 hours from Sydney, we will arrange your airport transfer which is a scenic 25-minute drive from the airport and a short boat ride across the beautiful Havannah Harbour. For day-trippers parking is available and we’ll arrange the boat to meet you. The area is popular for snorkelling and diving. Bauerfield International Airport is 19 km from the property.

Beautiful location, gorgeous villa, lovely staff.

The location and the facilities were perfect. We had such a relaxing stay. It was so quiet. The outlook is amazing and the water is incredible. The staff are happy and know your name from the first day.

The perfect getaway for a relax in a truly beautiful environment.

The Moso is a beautiful boutique resort isolated from the hustle and bustle of typical tourist attractions. We loved the care and attentiveness of the staff, all local villagers who were such a delight. The resort is environmentally sustainable with potable water on tap, no plastics, and runs predominantly on solar.

Lovely and pleasant place

Most of the staff at The Moso was absolutely lovely - special thanks to Nunes who helped a lot with answering to our questions, helping with the room, booking transfers and activities, accompanying for kava night, etc. He was always happy to help, exceeding our expectations for front desk staff. Also thanks to Eveline and Amelia from the bistro - it was very nice chatting to them and they were really accommodating and helping with meals and dietary requirements. GF food was relatively easy to arrange. One of the owners (Antoun) was around and we had few nice chats with him - it was good to see owner actually actively participating in resort operations. Absolutely stunning view from hilltop villa terrace. Good snorkeling, especially on Eton beach or on one of the reefs further from the shore (need boat driver to drop off there, thanks Jerry for organizing that). People at local village is absolutely lovely and friendly, lots of chats and stories, and they can even cook local food (if you ask prior). Meals are mostly good, reasonably sized and priced.

Location is Wonderful Paradise. Stayed in Hilltop Villa and Beach front Villa, both had pools and were excellent. We booked for 5 days we stayed for 9. Is worth going over to the West side of the Island, for snorkelling, total seclusion and caves.

Lovely staff. Excursions available. Enjoyed quad bike to snorkel beach. We didn’t have to climb a steep hill as our facilities at ground level. Delicious food but we took food for breakfast and lunch as there for 5 days. Worked perfectly.

The most special resort with the most special staff

This place is one of the most special places I've ever stayed due to the wonderful staff who work hard everyday to make you feel welcomed. From Nunez on reception to Alice and the boys on the floor to the kitchen staff everybody was just delightful to talk to. The staff make this place the most wonderful stay one could ever imagine. We were even taught some Bislama. A MUST do if you are in Vanuatu.

A truly memorable experience and one we will treasure.

I can only say WOW WOW WOW. The Moso is an amazing resort to stay at. It well and truly exceeded my expectations. We had the most wonderful beachfront villa, situated right beside the resort pool. From the moment we received our welcome cocktail, we were made to feel welcomed and at home. The staff are exceptional, you only have to ask and they are there to help. We celebrated a birthday and anniversary and the staff made our special day extraordinary. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend the around island tour with a swim in a cave, a private beach picnic and a visit to the turtle sanctuary.

The island was gorgeous and ideal for an off grid getaway. Great snorkelling and a decent walk to the local private beach. Great activities and the bistro was amazing.
