We stayed in Fare 5 ( the best one) for 2 wonderful weeks and loved every moment. It can get a bit windy there, but who cares. We spent our days sunbaking , reading, kayaking, riding the bikes everywhere, doing adventure tours and generally relaxing and eating. The food is great , snorkeling out the front and kayaking are wonderful.... More

Moyyan House by the Sea surprised us by being more picturesque than any photo we had seen. The restaurant and your huts are meters from the water, the beach is shaded by massive tropical trees growing horizontally around and underneath the Main Building and Accommodation Huts. There are large areas for sun-baking if you wish and there is no need... More

I run a bed and breakfast in Sydney which attracts a lot of tripadvisor reviews so I am ashamed of how long it has taken me to review this resort that we visited over Xmas last year. Moyyan House by the Sea and more particularly Tracey who runs the place is extraordinary. We visited with some friends over the Xmas... More

What a wonderful holiday we had at Moyyan and on Santo island. The service and accommodation was impeccable. The one thing you can not skimp on when going to Santo is the accommodation. Staying at Moyyan ensured for a very positive experience of this beautiful diverse island (very much still uncommercialised and under developed) and its people. 3 words come... More

It's been 5 years since we have been at Moyyan and time has only made it better. ' The staff are beautiful, the view to die for, the rooms delectable and the hammocks on your own verandah are the most comfortable I've ever experienced. New since our last visit is the spa. It is absolutely world class. Valentine's treatments are... More

We had a wonderful time at Moyyan. While the resort is blessed with a beautiful location and lovely fares, it was the service that made the experience unforgettable. Nothing was too much trouble - Tracey, Cath and the other staff went out of their way (and often above and beyond the call of duty) to make sure we were taken... More

Service - wonderful and personal. We were picked up and dropped off where required. We were also given early check-in and late check-out, which were definitely bonuses.

Thank you to Tracey and her team for their commitment to their guests. The resort is quite small which makes it so much more personal. must say I was a little concerned about the resort not having a pool. Well it was not missed at all, we spent every spare minute snorkeling, swimming and kayaking right outside our Fare. The... More

Moyyan is located on Espiritu Santo, the largest island of the archipelago of Vanuatu.

Five spacious farés offer a contemporary feel for the tropics with the accent on understated luxury. The cool, open restaurant and bar opens out onto the beach and shares stunning sea views. Books and board games are provided for your enjoyment as you unwind into a completely relaxing holiday. We also have bicycles, clear bottom kayaks and snorkelling equipment available for our guests. Moyyan Day Spa offers hand, feet and body rituals, facials and massage indulgences using pure botanical and aromatic Waterlily products. Staying at Moyyan means you start the day as you end it - relaxed, rejuvenated, and looking forward to all that the next day will bring. Guests at Moyyan unpack their bags into contemporary beachfront farés. Each faré has a luxurious bathroom, modern furnishings, king sized bed and private deck. They are designed to capture the sea breezes and are continually shaded to provide a comfortable environment in the tropics. In line with Moyyan’s philosophy of treading lightly on this fragile environment, each faré is architecturally designed to work in harmony with the tropical climate. They are insect-proof and take full advantage of the sea breezes. Ceiling fans create a comfortable environment. ... more   less
