Island Magic Resort Apartments

Great spot to stay. Quiet area, great landing by the water where we had 5 o’clock drinks with other residents a few times. Well managed with plenty of help, quality meals at the restaurant, incredibly comfortable villas with large rooms, kitchen and balcony. Very friendly environment. 20 mins out of Port Vila. Thoroughly enjoyed our 7 day stay. Easy Bbus access from the villas to anywhere

Some of the facilities were a little tired, but all were scrupulously clean, and worked.The constant breeze kept temperatures balmy, but sometimes whipped up the sea to make snorkeling difficult.Once in the water there was never any current so it was very safe unless too close to the top of the reef. Feeding the many large fish was a delight for some of the guests. The staff were very friendly, and Gerry and hubby made sure every wish was made possible. Highly recommended. Transport was easy if a little expensive, although that is normal in Vanuatu.

Wonderful owners and staff. The best snorkeling on the island. Amazing food. Spacious bungalows, our daughter had her own room and we did too.

Nice place. Little out of town but you can get buses quite easily. The jetty was awesome for snorkeling coral and fish were very plentiful and majic.

Excellent small resort away from Port Vila in shaded tropical setting with a healthy coral seascape at the bottom of the garden. Excellent restaurant run by the wonderful resort manager Gerry who ensures the stay is magical. We will return.

Real nice away from the town but the bus drivers take the piss a bit.

Island Magic was a brilliant - highly recommend it for a family holiday. Our 2 bedroom beachfront bungalow was extremely spacious and had everything we needed. The deck on the beachfront bungalow had the most beautiful views - so easy to sit back, relax and enjoy! The gardens were lovely and made sure all the bungalows were private. The location of the resort was great - Mele is out of the hustle of Vila and close enough to travel in if supplies needed. Our continental breakfast each day was very generous - lovely fresh local fruits, cereal, yoghurt, toast. The onsite restaurant was very nice quality food. Our kids loved the volleyball court. The snorkelling off the jetty was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately it is a bit exposed, so it isn't great if it is too windy, but when conditions are right, we don't think you could find a better spot. The coral is fantastic as were the huge variety and number of fish. It was paradise underwater - we have snorkelled the Great Barrier Reef a few times, but right off the jetty at Island Magic wins hands down! The hotel manager, Gerry and her staff, were very helpful and made sure our stay was a very lovely family experience. Tina at breakfast was very thoughtful and polite and Joe, who kept the gardens looking beautiful, was great fun and helpful. We can't rate this place high enough - we don't usually return to the same place for holidays, but may have to rethink that approach after visiting Island Magic.

Island magic resort is in a great location, close to lots of attractions but is very quiet and peaceful. The bungalows are spacious, private and well maintained. We enjoyed exploring the reef out the front of the property - lots of beautiful fish and healthy coral. Often, it was just our family exploring the reef. Gerry and her staff were very accommodating and arranged many activities for our family making the holiday super easy and stress free. Island magic resort is excellent value for money - it deserves the excellent reviews it consistently achieves.

Really enjoyed our week here, definitely the best resort on the island. Comfortable while authentic and unpretentious. Super friendly, helpful staff. Loved snorkeling off the jetty and feeding the fish, wish we could have stayed longer.

Lovely location Staff could not be more friendly. Gerry the manager goes out of her way to make you feel welcome nothing is too much of a bother. Restaurant food was to die for. Bungalow was excellent and having a kitchen saved money. Will go again very relaxing. The only negative was no A/C in bedroom.
