Its location on Aore Island, with its own private beach and snorkeling, presents a compelling reason to choose this family-run boutique hotel. The emphasis on local culture, from the cuisine to the Melanesian massage services, feels both authentic and refreshing, a welcome contrast to more generic resort experiences.”
