Island Magic is in a lovely location. It’s right on the waterfront and there is fantastic coral coming right up to the jetty. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. Damien and Caroline are great hosts — very welcoming and helpful. They have great staff working with them too — always ready to help with a smile. The property is a little way out of town on a gravel road, so be ready for a bumpy ride for the last 5 mins or so. We were lucky to be welcomed in to expat drinks on Friday when we arrived, which was a lot of fun and an incredible way to pick up tips for the holiday to come. The only downside is a bit of bass coming from a nearby resort now and then, but that’s just part of island life!

Wonderful location, amazing coral reef on your doorstep with free gear to use. Caroline and Damian do an amazing job - they’re friendly and always so helpful as are the amazing staff with their big smiles! Birdies restaurant poolside was delicious, fresh and great servings. For a family looking to keep the food budget under control I’d recommend stocking up on basics from the supermarket including a few local Tusker beers (hire a care or book a driver to get around). The comfortable and well appointed bungalows have a full kitchen so quick breakfasts, lunches/snacks etc are easy to prepare yourself. Great Christmas for our family of 5 enjoying ‘island time’!

Room was great and had everything you need to be self sufficient and there’s a lovely restaurant as a better option! Staff were friendly and kind. The pool was well maintained and the ocean snorkelling from the property is amazing. Caroline and Damien were superstars helping to organise tours and transportation!

Vilas were clean and well fitted out with everything you need. Beautiful lication and amazing staff and the owners are lovely. Snorkelling is definitely the best in the island, only downside is be careful getting as not to tread in the fish as there are so many.

Loved the spacious bungalow accommodation with lots of amenities. Located right next to reef with great snorkelling opportunities. Caroline & Damien were very welcoming & are willing to help with booking excursions. Only set back - lack of transport on the remote roads so bring some food & snacks. Bungalows have kitchen facilities & BBQs are available. Food in the on-site Birdies Kitchen & Bar was very good.

The caretakers were superb. The staff were fantastic. Very friendly and helpful permanent residents. Great location and the the best is when all the guests getting together at dusk to feed the fish. We will love to go back

Great spot to stay. Quiet area, great landing by the water where we had 5 o’clock drinks with other residents a few times. Well managed with plenty of help, quality meals at the restaurant, incredibly comfortable villas with large rooms, kitchen and balcony. Very friendly environment. 20 mins out of Port Vila. Thoroughly enjoyed our 7 day stay. Easy Bbus access from the villas to anywhere

Some of the facilities were a little tired, but all were scrupulously clean, and worked.The constant breeze kept temperatures balmy, but sometimes whipped up the sea to make snorkeling difficult.Once in the water there was never any current so it was very safe unless too close to the top of the reef. Feeding the many large fish was a delight for some of the guests. The staff were very friendly, and Gerry and hubby made sure every wish was made possible. Highly recommended. Transport was easy if a little expensive, although that is normal in Vanuatu.

Excellent small resort away from Port Vila in shaded tropical setting with a healthy coral seascape at the bottom of the garden. Excellent restaurant run by the wonderful resort manager Gerry who ensures the stay is magical. We will return.
