Hideaway is founded on a social and environmental eco agreement with the local Mele people. It is situated within a marine reserve with people generally directed to a small area at the beachfront where the one can snorkel, dive or just paddle around without effecting the greater reef area, which is preserved in beautiful condition for divers/snorkelers who understand the...

This is my fourth visit to Hideaway Island and it never disappoints me. My previous visits have been to scuba dive, which is always a must to appreciate the marine life in Vanuatu. This time I took my young daughter and she thought the snorkelling experience including the underwater post office, which are so close to the beach to be... More

Hideaway Island Resort is a tiny piece of paradise and none of the photos/websites online do it justice. The island is so small yet each bungalow is private with a delicious ocean view. We (Husband and two children) found the bungalow to be perfect, however if your usual accommodation/room standard is 4 or 5 star then you will probably be... More

If you are thinking about getting your scuba licence then Hideaway Dive has to be at the top of your list. The dive staff are excellent, helpful, fun and very good at their jobs. The water is warm and clear with almost no current. The equipment is quality new gear and the water is just a short walk or short... More

Hideaway Resort was exactly what we were looking for. The staff was very helpful, nice and professional. The Resort need a little bit of work but, I know how is difficult the run a place like that on a such small island with all technical problems that entails. Thanks again to the staff and see you next time.

My Dad and I have just returned from a week long holiday on Hideaway Island. We had a fantastic time. The island has a superb location being a short drive (15mins) and then very short ferry ride from the airport. The island itself was absolutely beautiful. Dad and I shared one of the twin share rooms which are small, but... More

Hideaway Island was wonderful. Everyone was very friendly and the food was great. The best thing was the diving and snorkelling! The water was 28 degrees right down to 40m and it was like diving in the big Aquarium in Sydney, every dive had different fish and coral and lots of things to see. It was fun having a drink... More

Fantastic place to stay, the staff are so friendly and will do anything to make you stay enjoyable. The dive sites are amazing and the dive team are some of the best you will find. Phil, Antwon robbie, jim are the best "great DIve tram". I will defiantly be going back.
