Wonderful bungalows & very relaxing

We stayed for a few days, and really enjoyed our time on Oyster Island. The staff are super-friendly, as is the owner who is around daily. The rooms are pleasant, and the shower has hot water on demand, which is wonderful. The island itself is simple and has a few beaches which…

Very good for relax and for activity, excellent kitchen

Place is very good for snorkelling and maybe diving, kayaking to nearby islands or to nearby rivers and blue holes. All that you can do on your own. And yet just a half an hour drive to Luganville and airport, so you don't need to spend lot of time in/out. The island, being…

Great place to visit

A bit of a late review but it sounds like Oyster Island is heading back to where it was. We travelled in February '16 when Brad and Sarah were still resort managers and they blew us away. We visited one day just to have a look and they convinced us to come back the next day so…

Amazing romantic perfect

We stayed at Oyster Island Resort for 12 nights. From our first sight of the resort we knew that it was perfect for us - the staff were amazing! The room was romantic and we loved the outdoor shower and relaxing on our balcony. The snorkelling was fabulous from Midway beach…

Hello, Is it true that the chinese have bought the island? I first went to the island in 2008, quiet, rustic, intimate, NATURAL. I was just suggesting to my partner and daughter that we should return for this July, (daughter and I stayed in 2010). He needs somewhere quiet, relaxing, Natural Environment. If the chinese have bought the island , it will be destroyed, Never to recover. And we will never return. Cheers

Oyster Island was sold and the new owners are replacing the existing buildings and infrastructure with a new development. Completion date has not been announced. Sorry you will be disappointed. This listing is currently being removed from TripAdvisor site to stop confusion.

Hi everyone, I've noticed through the reviews that many have travelled with young kids, some under 2 yrs old. I'm considering coming to Oyster Island via Port Vila with my (will be by then) 7 month old. I'll be speaking to a travel doctor soon, but just wondered if any of you had any problems travelling with an infant, and how did you deal with the (if any) concerns over things like Malaria. Many thanks.

We also travelled in November and had no problems at all. In fact, I don't recall seeing a mosquito! I usually get mauled too. The bungalows are screened and mozzie coils are provided. We had also heard that there is no malaria in Santo (although there is in Port Vila) -- prob best to check that with travel doctor. Vanuatu is a great place for kids and Oyster Island is particularly child-friendly. You will have a wonderful family holiday.
