Mele hotels from HK$236

"Hosts Samara & Benie are lovely, super accommodating & always available. The single villa is on its own property directly on the beautiful calm Mele Beach which is clean & totally safe for swimming.As first time visitors to this lovely country it is very difficult to describe the amazing serenity away from all tourists with only the smiling friendly locals (& dogs!) to interact with, which makes Villa Mali an ideal location to relax & chill out.Even though the airport & main town of Port Vila are not walking distance, simply walk a couple hundred metres to the main road & flag down a passing minibus with “B” on the license plate, state your destination & join locals on their way to villages, shopping, school etc & only pay 150-200 Vatu (roughly 2)…easy!Note that eating out options in the area are limited but the fairly new Mali Beach Club just a few steps from the villa is right on the beach with decent choices including live weekend music, the Beach Bar down the other side near Hideaway Resort ferry (free!) is quite good, specializing in wood fired pizzas & has every Friday night a must see local run spectacular fire show. A solid 30 minute walk along the beach or potholed road will get you to one of the best (if not the very best) dining experiences at Island Magic Resort’s restaurant named Birdie’s. Walking back in the dark the local people say Hi & Good Night, totally safe!If privacy & relaxation is your aim Villa Mali is a top choice, HIGHLY recommended "

"Nice place. No hot water for 2 days a bit annoying. Requests not alqays completed."

"Absolutely divine "

"A solid 3 star resort. Below par in a lot of things to include having mould in the rooms and poor bedding. Some of the fixtures in the bathroom were broken. We asked for a room change and still found the same issue such as broken fixture, mould and the bedding had an odour and lets not talk about the wifi. The island is beautiful thought with great staff and the food was good."

"This is a fantastic place to stay when you are traveling with family. The extraordinary care with which children are treated is very special."

"Location was good, resort rooms/apartments need work as the are aged and run down, only 1 kayak didn’t leak, no bikes, grounds and pool/deck was good, iguanas are locked in a small cage with nothing and overcrowded (should be at least a small bird aviary with a tree/shrub them in it), food was good, u have to ask for rooms to be serviced (u might get it). We had no water a few times and couple of nights, Beach was good. "

"Highly recommend Island Magic Resort.We had an ocean view bungalow which was fantastic. The managers were lovely assisted us during our stay.Pool was great .Snorkelling just fantastic "
