Turtle Bay Lodge

We had visited Turtle Bay Lodge a couple of years back and were blown away with the whole Poulet Fish we had for lunch. It was therefore an obvious choice for us to stay for our latest trip to Santo. It didn't disappoint! The moment we arrived we were made to feel special with a refreshing welcome drink, all the staff were friendly and happy to assist, be it providing advice on what to do or just a friendly natter on random topics. Turtle Bay Lodge is perfectly located ~20km from Luganville. That makes it ideal to base yourself for visits to the south part of the Island or to Champagne Beach and Port Orly in the north. The Lodge has a good mix of rooms. We had 2 rooms with connecting door that worked perfectly for us. The restaurant has a great selection of food and we revisited our love of the Poulet Fish many times. Would we return? Most definitely! I highly recommend this lodge for your stay.

What an amazing place … staff, food and accomodation were all perfect . Location was great . Staff always happy to help with organising tours and make our stay truly wonderful . Our accomodation was in one of the glamping tents , fantastic and the view was superb, going to sleep with the sounds of the waves . What more could you want .

Turtle bay lodge had lovely grounds and only metres from the beach with spectacular views everywhere.Very professionally run with very friendly and helpful staff. A love place to sit back and relax but also adventure is just around the corner with blue holes close by and champagne Bay not too far away . Family rooms available which would be great for kids. Will be returning!

I'm never going back to Denerau after this! Wow, boutique resort on the water, no trashy glitz, just quiet gorgeousness. Excellent food and staff. We stayed in a self contained glamping tent with wooden floors and airconditioning, although there are actual rooms as another option. The activity options are amazing, and affordable, and the staff will help you book. Dont miss snorkelling on the reef and checking out the dugongs, also the blue holes, Riri river drifting and Champagne Beach. Theres even a PADI dive school there, and you can have a beginners session in the pool which makes it feel safe and accessible for those who only dreamed of scuba diving. On the last day we visited the local school which is supported by the Lodge. The managers are great community minded people who really care about their staff and the Santo community. We left feeling like we had contributed to the local economy as well as had a comfortable holiday with many new experiences in this beautiful spot.

This place hits the spot perfectly! Just enough resort vibes without being too 'resort', great vibe, excellent staff who are all so welcoming and well-humoured, heaps of activities to do or not.., excellent reef to snorkel right out the front, great restaurant/bar etc etc... Vicky and Mick have created such a unique little paradise :) Unfortunately, well fortunately, our flight was cancelled and left a group of us not knowing what to do but then there was Vicky and Mick out the front of the airport ready to welcome us back to our rooms!! Just amazing and so grateful to be welcomed back and to be able to spend another night with new friends. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!

A great resort in a beautiful location on the beach. The glamping tent is spacious and comfortable and well designed. The restaurant menu is amazing and more than just the common dishes. The diving is exceptional. The staff are extremely helpful.
