We spent five nights on the island and so we spent five nights in paradise or even in heaven. Well, the room could need some fresh painting and the furniture could need some repair, for all in the bathroom. But the food that was prepared by Polo was delicious every day.What we liked most were the people - the waiter... More

My wife and booked a 10-days stay at Tavanipupu private island resort in December last year. Due to unforeseen maintenance of the Marau Sound Airfield by Solomon Airlines and a series of unfortunate coincidences, we were forced to spend three more days in Honiara. After all this hassle, when we eventually managed to fly in, we were picked up at... More

We love Tavanipupu!! So much so that we decided to get married there last year along with a small group of our friends and family. All of whom did not want to leave at the end of our stay! It is without a doubt the finest resort in the Solomon Islands. It is a perfect place to relax, reflect and... More

Thinking back over our travels during 2011 one memory stands out above the rest and that was our trip to Tavanipupu in the Solomon Islands. We have travelled to most of the world famous sites but the snorkeling around this island exceeded all previous dives in terms of colour and variety in totally clear water which is so warm that...

If you are looking for a truly unique holiday/retreat destination, look no further. This private island resort is the perfect choice for anyone with a sense of adventure and a hunger for honest Pacific culture, who wishes to get away from the typical touristy scenes, the noise and bustling. We just soaked up the peaceful ambiance of this idyllic spot... More

They say you arrive as a guest and leave as a friend.......and these are friends and memories to treasure for a lifetime. Paul and his staff have managed to find the perfect balance.....attentive service that doesn't encroach, luxury accommodation that retains a rustic appeal, but best of all a sense of home in paradise. Nothing is too much trouble to... More

We travelled half way around the world from Scotland to discover the South Pacifc. The Solomons does not have a tourist infrastructure and can be challenging .. western travellers used to the Seychelles, Maldives or Bali. Tavanipupu was our third stop on our adventure and we saved the best for last. It is .a true desert island with coconut palms,... More

After extensive research of resorts both within the Solomon Islands and in neighbouring locations such as Fiji and Vanuatu, we settled on Tavanipupu Resort, which is a 25 minute flight from Honiara airport. The holiday was so memorable from the... More
