Uepi Island Resort

One of the truly unique places on earth, the remote Uepi Island Resort is set on a palm-fringed white sandy beach overlooking the world`s largest lagoon and the magnificent New Georgia mountains. Uepi is a barrier reef island approximately 2½ kilometers long and only 600 meters wide. The island, aside from the resort`s cultivated tropical gardens, is covered with tropical rainforest interspersed with walking tracks.

There are no other resorts or local villages on the island. This is the perfect getaway, a tranquil tropical paradise where you can fill your days with fun activities or just relax and unwind.

There are six timber Bungalows set in tropical gardens, four on the beachfront and two with garden views. All bungalows have a king-size bed and a double bunk, coffee-making facilities, refrigerators, private bathrooms and verandas.

Two new Dual Units share a common wall, but are perfectly private with bathrooms, a king-size bed or two twin beds, coffee-making facilities, refrigerators and deck areas with views over the Marovo Lagoon.

Tavaurina Lodge is located on the beachfront and accommodates six people in three rooms, all with private bathrooms. There are two spacious verandas with magnificent lagoon views and shared refrigerator and coffee-making facilities. A separate Guest Room in a garden setting has a double bed and a double bunk, private bathroom, coffee-making facilities and a shaded veranda. All accommodations are fully screened and have ceiling fans.

The lagoon side of the island has a sandy beach perfect for swimming, paddle boats, and canoeing. Scuba diving and snorkeling are popular activities, and the reef is always teeming with exotic marine life. Superb wall diving awaits only a few minutes away by boat from the resort. Wreck diving can also be arranged.

Hike the island and picnic on the beautiful secluded beaches. The Uepi Island Resort also offers sport fishing and cultural tours to surrounding islands. Kayak Solomons has a variety of exciting itineraries to choose from. The resort meals are based around fresh local seafood, fruits and vegetables, prepared by talented local chefs. No wonder this is a favorite honeymoon destination!
