Top Five Sol-id Stays
Accommodation for everyone, from the simple to stylish.
From sleeping in a cave to a resort, to having your own island all to yourself – there’s a myriad of stays for every kind of traveller in the Islands. Here’s five of the best:
Oravae Cottage
Ever dreamed of going full Robinson Crusoe and living on your own island?
That’s the deal at Oravae Cottage, except for the intense survivalist part. Located in the a 20-minute boat ride from mainland, Oravae Cottage is an open-plan wooden bungalow built over a beautiful, crystal-clear blue lagoon, perched on the edge of its own islet.
While away your days swimming, fishing, surfing, snorkelling ... or just taking it very, very easy.

Uepi Island Resort
This little tropical getaway is situated at the edge of the longest lagoon in the world, the Marovo Lagoon (nominated for World Heritage listing). The diving and snorkelling are fantastic, with the seaward edge of the island dropping down an incredible 2,000 metres.
There are six spacious bungalows for families or couples, two units and two guest rooms. It’s the type of place where 20 guests is considered a full house. Uepi is the epitome of a lost island escape but with all the comfort trimmings.
A Bilikiki Cruise
Eat, sleep, dive, repeat.
Bilikiki Cruises has been running liveaboard scuba diving trips and cruises in the Solomon Islands for over 25 years. The Solomons is a divers’ paradise, and these guys know where the best spots are. Living aboard the MV Bilikiki means you don’t have far to go when you’re done diving for the day.
As well as this, the boat acts as a vessel for delivering essential goods to villages around the country.

Sanbis Resort
Sanbis Resort is the place to go for if you’re looking for beautiful stretches of your own shore, without another person in sight.
Sanbis is a boutique resort perched right on the ocean in Gizo, with only six bungalows backing onto private beaches. There’s excellent outdoor adventures like diving, fishing and surfing, but more than anything, Sanbis is a place to come and relax – the buzz of everyday life will seem a million miles away in this tranquil environment.
Tetepare Island Ecolodge
Tetepare bills itself as 'the last wild island', and its not difficult to see why.
A long, rugged area of sand cloaked in rainforest and fringed with biodiverse reefs, it’s the largest uninhabited tropical island in the entire Southern Hemisphere. Much like Oravae, you’ll have this place to yourself.
This place is for the wildlife lovers – green and hawksbill sea turtles, dugongs, sharks and crocodiles, and a myriad of fish and bird species make themselves at home here.
