We stayed in the Villa for 6 nights with friends. Villa is rustic and very spacious with a very large living area which leads out to the garden and beach. Rock pool on the beach was lovely and we also had a fresh water pool which was very refreshing this joins one of bedrooms onto the main living area which is pretty cool. Martine who is the housekeeper was very sweet and helpfully. The owners were also very nice people and very accommodating during our stay and left us to enjoy the villa. If you want to explore the island you will need to hire a car which the owner will be able to help you. A must is to visit the Blue Lagoon which is beautiful natural pool.

My wife and I took our 10 and 12 year old to Vanuatu - House of Palms for 11 nights, what an awesome experience. Traveling from LA took a while but was well worth it. Gourmet kitchen, private coral sand beach, volcanic pools fronting the property that you destress in and a beautiful location on the windward south side of the island. The owners were very gracious and helpful, plus the kids got to play with their 4 month old puppy when we found his way over. Great place to relax, listen to the waves pounding onto the coral and lava flows fronting the property, piece of heaven. Rent a car, travel the island and explore as well, zip lining, snorkeling, fishing, etc. Thank you we had a marvelous stay and would highly recommend this location to our family and friends. And we want to say thank you to your housemaid who helped with our laundry and kept the place very clean during our stay. Best vacation ever.

A beautiful place to recharge the batteries and relax, I especially enjoyed the Ocean rock and house fresh water pools. The large grounds are immaculately kept as was the spacious house with easy access to everything. The house keeper was so helpful and seem to appear just when I needed something. I will definitely be back!

The ultimate tropical getaway. I have stayed now several times at this property and each time was more beautiful and relaxing than the last. I don't often review places I've stayed but sometimes you find a location that is truly special and this is one of them. Many places billed as "tropical getaways" end up being too close to a busy road, or right next to a noisy resort, or somehow the experience is spoiled. This villa is for those discerning travelers who want the true beauty and peace of the tropics in a stunning setting. I can't recommend it highly enough, you won't regret it.

As a frequent guest at this villa you’d expect flattering comments and that’s what you’ll get. This beautiful Balinese-style compound is a delight and the perfect beachside haven. The tranquil grounds, the beautifully landscaped private beach and ocean pool, the cool and spacious main pavilion and the bedroom suites ensure holiday heaven. The multi-talented manager is not only a food writer but also a first-rate decorator who is sought after by locals for interior design advice and as a source of bespoke furniture. And, having project managed several upmarket Vanuatu holiday home builds it’s not surprising that this place is so well thought out and finished to a high standard. Everything about this place reeks of style and sophistication yet it remains casual, comfortable and beachy. The kitchen is equipped to a professional standard; the towels and linen are hotel quality and the on-site housekeeping efficient, friendly and unobtrusive. In a previous life our host sailed the world on a charter yacht and entertained a who’s who of guests so knows exactly what’s needed when it comes to service and hospitality. In this sense, if needed, she will provide a ‘concierge’ service with expert advice on all aspects of getting the most out your Vanuatu stay. But if you simply want to be left alone to enjoy the serenity of the house and its spectacular location, then the choice is yours. But in matters culinary it is well worth seeking her advice on where and how to eat locally. For a uniquely stylish and private tropical break, this amazing villa has to be among a small select group of five-star private villa options. Highly recommended.
