Where to Stay in Espiritu Santo

From Luganville town to beachfront island escapes.

Espiritu Santo offers a range of accommodation, from convenient hotels in Luganville town to relaxed beachfront stays on the surrounding islands. Where you stay shapes your whole trip — Luganville is handy for the airport, wharf and day trips, while a beachfront island stay puts you steps from the reef.

For the quintessential Santo experience, we recommend staying on Aore Island — a five-minute boat ride across the channel from Luganville.
