Hideaway Island, VANUATU
Airing Date: Aug 4th, 2003
Hideaway Island in Vanuatu is only 15 minutes from Port Vila airport - but once you're there, you'll feel like you're a whole world away.
Small enough to walk around, yet large enough to offer pristine beaches and glistening water, Hideaway Island is a marine sanctuary with that little bit more. A day trip to the Island is available from just $7 but there are plenty of reasons to stay a bit longer. The shallow water is an idyllic 27 degrees - perfect for a morning dip. A range of activities, such as beach volleyball, are also available.
The island's resort accommodation is top class. A night in a quad share room costs from just $30 per person, or a double room with water views costs from $76 per night.
Freebies are an island specialty too. Daily lunch time snorkelling tours are offered free of charge to resort patrons. All gear is provided and snorkellers can dive right into a classic marine sanctuary offering more fish than anywhere else in Vanuatu. Resort guests can also take advantage of the maricats to explore the island - again at no cost.
After all the activities, sit back and relax with the evening sunset. or enjoy a fresh feast at Hideaway Restaurant.
