Tavanipupu is special. Fantastic location. Fabulous room. Magnificent scenery. Exceptional staff - both expat and national. And the food was astounding! Our 3 day stay was more expensive than anticipated (the web site room prices might need updating a little. Also, although it is in AUD, when you get the bill, this is converted to Solomon Dollars at a somewhat... More

Simply extraordinary. A stay on Tavanipupu is a rare privilege and we mean that with all sincerity. It is somehow humbling to share this very private paradise with at most, 5 other couples plus a handful of local and expat staff. This takes to a whole new level, the saying '"untouched by tourists" because it truly is. Want to buy... More

This is THE place to getaway from it all. From the minute we stepped onto the jetty on our arrival we were welcomed by manager Paul and some of his wonderfully gentle local staff, the scene was set for a wonderful holiday. The food, service, location and the people are just fabulous - tight service but in a relaxed island... More

After working for 9 Months in the Solomons this was the perfect way to relax after a hectic year.Our room was so comfortable with a view straight onto the calm waters edge,so we could watch the locals arriving for work in their dugout canoes. Paul and his team provide the most delicious kai kai which is announced by the beating... More

We're now back in the UK after an extraordinary 4 days at Tavanipupu. It was enforced relaxation and just what we needed. It's a very small idyllic island resort, picture book stuff. It took us 20 mins to walk round. Our room was a leaf-roofed house but with western amenities. We spent all the time in and out of the... More

Left this one up to Hubby and boy he excelled in his choice. The occasion was our 25th Wedding Anniversary and my 49th birthday all rolled into one. We decided on a 2nd honeymoon as we had our first one on Uepi Island we wanted something comparable. This place ticks all the boxes and more. Upon arrival it was evident... More

The hospitality started before we disembarked from our private boat that had brought us to the island from the airplane runway. Paul greeted us with Lei's, a big smile and genuine warmth. During our stay, he did everything to ensure our comfort, while ensuring we were afforded privacy. Apart from the breathtaking scenery and exclusiveness of this wonderful resort, the... More

From the moment you step foot upon the jetty, and a beautiful floral ley is placed around your neck, you have to keep pinching yourself that you haven't stepped inside your computer's screen saver. It is the most stunning destination. The island itself is not so much a resort as a castaway tropical paradise. The vibe is set perfectly by... More

Truly stunning. Let me say it again, truly stunning. The flight there, then boat to the island is such a special trip. Then swim in the clearest water with spectacular coral, picnic on a private island with food prepared for you and then get up super early for a spectacular sunrise as you watch fisherman go out for the catch....

After a scenic three hour boat ride from Honiara, we were greeted with flowers and a coconut cut with a straw through the husk for an island beverage. Crystal clear water with brightly colored coral flanked the pier, and once at the end of the pier we saw Pam for the first time. She had a casual look, with a... More
