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.

Island Magic was a brilliant - highly recommend it for a family holiday. Our 2 bedroom beachfront bungalow was extremely spacious and had everything we needed. The deck on the beachfront bungalow had the most beautiful views - so easy to sit back, relax and enjoy! The gardens were lovely and made sure all the bungalows were private. The location of the resort was great - Mele is out of the hustle of Vila and close enough to travel in if supplies needed. Our continental breakfast each day was very generous - lovely fresh local fruits, cereal, yoghurt, toast. The onsite restaurant was very nice quality food. Our kids loved the volleyball court. The snorkelling off the jetty was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately it is a bit exposed, so it isn't great if it is too windy, but when conditions are right, we don't think you could find a better spot. The coral is fantastic as were the huge variety and number of fish. It was paradise underwater - we have snorkelled the Great Barrier Reef a few times, but right off the jetty at Island Magic wins hands down! The hotel manager, Gerry and her staff, were very helpful and made sure our stay was a very lovely family experience. Tina at breakfast was very thoughtful and polite and Joe, who kept the gardens looking beautiful, was great fun and helpful. We can't rate this place high enough - we don't usually return to the same place for holidays, but may have to rethink that approach after visiting Island Magic.
