The Moso - A boutique island resort with private lap pools, beachfront villas, and guided snorkeling tours

The Moso, a 3-star exclusive boutique resort, is situated on Moso Island, separated from Efate by the 200-meter-wide Namoso Passage. It offers ten premium villas, including beachfront and hilltop options, each featuring private lap pools, expansive decks, and premium linens. The Hilltop Deluxe Villa includes a 13x3m pool, two living areas, and a private kitchen for chef-prepared meals. The beachfront villas provide direct ocean access, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards. Guests at The Moso can arrange snorkeling tours, island-hopping excursions, or fishing trips, with meals prepared using locally sourced ingredients. A day spa offers massages using organic products, and the bistro serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with views of Havannah Harbour. Airport transfers involve a 25-minute drive and a short boat ride.

Pros

Private lap pools and outdoor baths in select villas provide exclusive relaxation.

Snorkeling, kayaking, and paddleboarding are available directly from the beach.

The bistro serves locally sourced seafood and Vanuatu-grown produce.

Guided island-hopping and fishing tours can be arranged through resort staff.

Cons

The resort is accessible only by boat, requiring coordination for arrivals and departures.

No on-site dive gear is provided; guests must bring their own snorkeling equipment.
