About this experience

Experience Vanuatu’s best sunsets right on the spectacular Lapita Beach. Lapita Beach Bar is being built as a relaxed, welcoming destination for locals and tourists alike — directly on the beach at Aore Island, the perfect spot to unwind with stunning ocean views, golden sunsets, and a true island vibe. Spend the day swimming and snorkelling in the clear waters of Lapita Beach, cool off with ice-cold drinks in hand, then stay through to magical sunset drinks and traditional kava tasting. It’s a family-friendly atmosphere — everyone is welcome. On the menu: a basic bar menu with classic favourites, ice-cold beer, fresh coconuts for the kids (and anyone who wants one!), and kava tasting sessions. Getting here is easy whether you arrive by boat or road — boat pick-up is available from our land (advance booking required), there are moorings right out the front for your own boat, and there’s easy access for trucks and vehicles. Lapita Beach Bar is the perfect addition to your Aore Island or Santo day trip. Come for the beach, stay for the sunset and good times. Opening late 2026 — exact date coming soon, watch this space!

Pair this with a Lapita stay or ask the team to shape it around transfers, tide, weather, and your group size.
