Perfect relaxation spot

If you’ve ever dreamed of escaping to a tropical island—but wondered what you’d actually do all day—you’re not alone.

At Aoredise, the magic isn’t in a packed itinerary. It’s in the space to slow down, breathe, and enjoy life at a different pace.

Here’s what a typical 7-night stay might look like…

✈️ Day 1: Arrival & Instant Relaxation

Meeting the boat on the Aoredise beach
Arrive on your own private beach
Relaxing by the water with a drink
It doesn't take long to switch off here










Your journey brings you to Santo, followed by a short boat transfer across to Aore Island.

Within minutes of arriving at Aoredise, something shifts.

Shoes come off. Shoulders drop. The ocean becomes your soundtrack.

There’s no rush—just time to settle in, take a swim, and watch your first island sunset with a cold drink in hand.

🐠 Day 2: Snorkelling Straight Off the Beach

Straight off the beach, no boat required
Steps leading from the water to the house at Aoredise
Just steps from the water











No boats. No crowds. No schedules.

Step straight into the warm, clear water and discover vibrant coral and tropical fish just metres from shore.

Spend the morning exploring, then retreat to the shade with a book—or simply lie back and listen to the water.

This is where people start to realise: this place is different.

🌿 Day 3: A Taste of Santo

Swimming in an amazing blue hole on Santo
Just a short trip ... but a whole new world
Drifting down the river on the Mt Hope Float tour
Worth exploring, then back to peace and quiet









Today is perfect for a short adventure across to Santo.

Explore:

  • The famous blue holes

  • Local markets

  • Beaches, Waterfalls, Caves

Then return to Aoredise, where the pace slows again and the world feels a little quieter.

🌴 Day 4: The Art of Doing Nothing

Relax on the front deck at Aoredise
No plans today - and that's the plan

This is the day most people didn’t know they needed.

Sleep in. Have a slow breakfast. Move between hammock, sun lounge, and ocean.

No plans. No pressure. No noise.

It’s amazing how quickly “doing nothing” becomes your favourite part of the trip.

🎣 Day 5: Choose Your Own Adventure

Paddle Boards and Kayaks on the beach at Aoredise
Choose your toy










By now, you’ve found your rhythm.

Today can be as active—or as relaxed—as you like:

  • Kayaking along the coastline

  • SCUBA Diving

  • More snorkelling (it’s never the same twice)

  • Exploring nearby spots

Or… simply repeat yesterday. No one will judge.

🌅 Day 6: Sunset, Stories & Connection

Watching the sunset over the Segond Channel and Luganville
Evenings are something special here

Something special happens after a few days here.

You’re sleeping better. Thinking clearer. Laughing more.

Evenings become a highlight—sunsets over the water, long conversations, and that rare feeling of having nowhere else to be.

💙 Day 7: Not Quite Ready to Leave

Clear calm waters between Aore Island and Santo Island Vanuatu
You'll already be planning your return

Your final full day arrives quietly.

There’s often a sense of wanting to fit everything in again—but also a desire to simply soak it all up one last time.

Most guests say the same thing at this point:

“We should have stayed longer.”

🌺 Day 8: Departure (But Not Goodbye)

Catching the boat from Aoredise to Luganville, Vanuatu
Until next time ...

As you leave Aore Island, you’ll likely take more than just photos with you.

You’ll take:

  • A slower mindset

  • A sense of calm

  • And a quiet promise to return
