Erakor Island Resort & Spa

We stayed on Erakor for 10 days and had a wonderful holiday. If you are looking for something different to the big hotel chains with a quiet island vibe then you must consider Erakor. The island is a little quirky, but this is part of its appeal. There is plenty to do on the island but it is also very close to town if you want to explore other local sights. The staff are all super friendly and you will find it hard to say goodbye to them when you leave. We ate breakfast and dinner at the restaurant most days and there was plenty of choice. Snorkelling and watersports are well catered for (don't forget to bring reef shoes) and there is a lovely pool if the tide is out. Plenty of tours and activities that can be arranged from the island without an extra fee. Don't miss their pizza and movies night ......best pizza I have had anywhere!!!!

Just had a really lovely week at Erakor Island Resort with two of my adult children. Quirky, low key and laid back resort. Clean, tidy and really friendly staff. Restaurant food is simple but really excellent - like the best home cooked food. Spa very good, lovely swimming and great day trips. Highly recommend Erakor and we will be back

From our boat ride across to Erakor island & as we were first welcomed by Sarah the Manager & her fantastic team, which then set the scene for our fabulous stay. The food, the cocktails, the delicious breakfasts & the activities, we Absoulutely loved it ALL.

Fabulous place to stay! We felt nurtured by the staff at every turn. On arriving, we were immediately upgraded by Sarah to a larger villa which better suited our family configuration, with a large, covered deck looking across the water to Erakor Village. Our walk one evening around the village with Freda was an absolute highlight. Breakfast was included and was excellent, as were all our meals. The Melanesian Feast and fire dancing were fun too, and there was plenty to do for families with children. We spent most of our time snorkelling when the tide was right, and would love to return to maybe spot an elusive seahorse or even a dugong...

From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. Our room was spacious and clean and super well located. 3 steps to the water, another 5 to the reef. With so much to do in the water including snorkling, SUPing, kayaking, surfing, swimming. There is also plently to do in wet weather including, pool, foosball, table tennis. We enjoyed everything the island had to offer. It soon began to feel like our own little hideaway. We snorkled several times a day as it was soo readily available. Yes we found Nemo. He's here. Along with the majestic Lionfish and so many other species. Our meals were lovely and enjiyed daily after Cocktails at Happy Hour. The only problem is trying to work out when we can book a return trip. With Sarah at the helm, the crew here are super friendly and helpfull.

We had our wedding at Erakor with 14 or our family & friends joining us for a week - it was perfect!!! Although the weather on the day wasn’t suitable for our planned beach wedding they did a beautiful setting by the pool for us which we loved. Lita looked after everything so well, there was no stress at all on the day. The reception food was excellent & we couldn’t have wished for anything more, we can highly recommend Erakor for a wedding or a holiday. The staff and restaurant are fabulous. We will definitely return!!

Whatever you do do not book for Monday. The restaurant hosts karaoke where drunk people attempt to sing 80s-90s ballads. Other nights they have off-key singers who play loud so good luck with sleeping (or...you know!) If you are coming for a romantic getaway, this is definitely not the place

Hi everyone! My husband and I have just spent an unforgettable two weeks on Erakor Island, in the beautiful Erakor Island Resort. I wanted to share with you our experience, as this holiday was truly a blessing and one we will never forget. Flights : We travelled Air Vanuatu from Brisbane to Santo, then from Santo to PV. Everything was on time, Air staff were very accommodating, meals were great and the flight was overall a good experience. The smaller aircraft that flew us from Santo to PV was extremely hot onboard while we were waiting for take off, which I would imagine some people would really struggle with. The airports were also incredibly hot and humid... but what do you expect on a tropical Island? (lol). There were also limited places to eat and drink so keep this in mind. PV and Santo are not Huge built up cities like we have in Australia or the US, and to base unrealistic expectations around this will only lead to disappointment. The locals were very warm and welcoming, and we were offered a taxi trip around Santo during our wait time which really helped pass the time. Accommodation : Wow.. where to begin?! upon arrival we were met at the airport by a transfer taxi that the resort had arranged for a small fee. Taxi was air-conditioned and the driver was very welcoming and loaded our luggage into the bus. After a short ferry ride across the lagoon's pristine crystal clear waters, we arrived on the island. Shout out to Alice and Kevin for welcoming us with a refreshing drink and island vibe smiles! We were then driven to our villa. I was absolutely on cloud nine when I saw how beautiful the villa was, with such a dreamy ocean backdrop. It truly felt like a tropical island paradise and I felt so blessed to be calling this place home for the next two weeks. The villa was extremely clean, fully screened, had an extremely powerful air-conditioner, a very comfortable king sized bed, huge TV, free wi-fi, room service, PLENTY of towels which I loved, full bathroom amenities, a beautiful tropical outdoor shower with a Tarzan vibe :P , mini kitchen including bar fridge, kettle and tea/coffee making facilities, and microwave. The outdoor area featured a private plunge pool, a queen size day bed and best of all, the incredibly breathtaking ocean view that we were less than ten steps away from. Staff : I can not speak highly enough of the staff at Erakor Island Resort. Everyone was so humble and welcoming, very accommodating to our every need and went out of their way to ensure that we were having a great time. We truly felt as though we were staying in a home away from home. Activities : The resort provides snorkeling gear, kayaks, and stand up paddle boards all free of charge. There is also a ping pong table, football table and a playground for children. The resort also has an amazing pool overlooking the lagoon waters surrounding the island. The resort also offer a free 24hr ferry service to and from the mainland. Snorkeling : Desp

My wife and I spent 5 days at the resort and from start to finish it was a great experience. We were fortunate to get an upgrade to our room which was on the east side of the island right on the water. I recommend snorkeling on this side as there is a number of small coral reefs with 15 to 29 different fish around them meters from your room. The tour staff office is something we all need just an open hut looking out over the lagoon and they arranged a trip to Blue Lagoon and Lelepa Island for us. The island trip was low key but everything you needed was there and the second stop off the western side of the island had spectacular coral and sea life that we will never forget. At the resort breakfast is easy and good quality, we had lunch and dinner a couple of times with a good variety of selections. Getting to and from the island on the ferry/ tinny is easy, getting the bus into town was cheap and straightforward. Make sure you grab a kayak and explore the lagoon it’s an easy paddle but worth the few hours of adventure. One last thing we did was the Erakor Village walk with Nathalie and you see first hand how the locals go about life in such community focused way and you get to sample Kava at one of the Nakamals. In summary the staff are very friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and very comfortable with air conditioning as a great feature. We would be happy to stay again.
