Papaya Villa

Marcus & Stoney were great hosts, their beautiful villa is close to their own private reef, which made it peaceful and relaxing and wow the food is out of this world, definitely take advantage of Marcus’s cooked meals at night, was the best meals we had on Efate, the breakfasts in the morning with tea and coffee were a lovely touch also. It is worth getting a rental car if possible as the property is a short drive out of Port Villa, gives you the flexibility to explore the other gems on the island (Stoney has some great recommendations too!) if you wish. Thank you both for a wonderful holiday, looking forward to visiting again in the future

Nothing!!

A brilliant slice of paradise right on Eton reef! Loved the hospitality of our hosts who went out of their way to make us feel at home. Wonderful reef walk, delicious breakfasts, gastronomic delights for dinner, highly recommended and can be pre ordered, and a delightful, well presented, comfortable property where you can relax and recharge. Thank you Marcus and Stoney for an unforgettable few days.

Nothing to not like! Though highly recommended to get a car since it is a fair ways out of the main city area which for us was also one of its highlights.

This is a spectacular place to stay in Vanuatu. Lovely hosts, and great accommodation. So memorable- on a private place moments from the beach, and kilometres from local villages. Great attention to detail from the hosts in all ways. Great breakfast and Marcus cooks beautiful dinners.

- - - - nothing. Nothing.

Lovely spot with nice hosts. We enjoyed the breakfasts by Stoney and dinners by Marcus. Property was peaceful, clean and well maintained. A good place to unwind and relax. Hosts were friendly and thoughtful.

Everything!

A stunning and secluded island stay, with several private beaches all to yourself. So peaceful and relaxing. Amazing dinners cooked by Marcus who is a professional chef, with lovely conversations with him and Stoney over the table. We were there over Easter and they baked fresh hot cross buns and put Easter eggs in our breakfasts. We hired an e-bike nearby and rode to the Blue Lagoon and some other spots along the road but we also spent days just relaxing at the property’s endless gems. Highly recommend for laidback travellers.

Nothing to not like but would recommend bringing your own snorkelling gear as we didn’t find anywhere to hire it.

Great peaceful location with the bonus of excellent cuisine.

As piscinas

Um calor excessivo o ventilador não dava conta

Ein traumhaft abgelegener Ort mit über 1,5 km privater Küste und Korallenriff direkt vor der Tür. Gut zum Schnorcheln, Baden und für Riffwalks bei Ebbe – Schnorchelset nicht vergessen! Das Schlafzimmer mit Fan ist gemütlich, das Outdoor-Bad sauber, und das riesige Deck mit Daybed ideal zum Entspannen. Der Garten ist top gepflegt. Das Essen ist großartig: frisches Frühstück mit Früchten und wechselnden Eierspeisen, abends ein sehr leckeres 2 Gänge Überraschungsmenü. (Lunch gibt’s im kleinen Resort ca. 1 km entfernt.) Die Gastgeber Marcus und Stoney kümmern sich hervorragend; Stoney teilt auch gerne Insel-Einblicke und ihr Wissen zu Ernährungsthemen. Insgesamt eine besondere Atmosphäre abseits vom Hotelstandard.

Kleine Snacks für zwischendurch (oder ein Hinweis, dass es keine gibt und man sich was mitbringen sollte) wären hilfreich, da zwischen Frühstück und Abendessen etwa 10 Stunden liegen. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind nicht in der Nähe. In der Mittagshitze ins Nachbarresort zu laufen, ist nicht für jedermann. Stoney war so lieb und hat uns etwas besorgt als sie in der Stadt war.
