Gizo
Gizo is the Solomon Islands second largest town, with a population of around 6,000 inhabitants, mainly of Melanesian and Micronesian descent. The region is serviced several times a day from Honiara by Solomon Airlines and has become the country’s tourist hub.
To confuse everyone, Gizo township is on Ghizo Island, and the airstrip is located on Nusatupe Island, a short boat ride away. The airport is quite central to Ghizo as well as the resorts and lodges, with the furthest away being around 20 minutes.
Fatboys Resort
Fatboys Resort, Bar & Restaurant is located on MBabanga island, a 10 minute boat ride from the airport and 15 minutes from Gizo, the provincial capital of the Western Solomons. There are 5 bungalows that offer you with spectacular views of an early morning sunrise watched straight from your balcony.
Sanbis Resort
Approximately 7 minutes from the Gizo airstrip by boat, Sanbis Resort offers the premier accommodation in the country, with each bungalow having its own private beach, luxury ensuite bathrooms with hot water and a terrace with a stunning view across the lagoon. The resort boasts the best stocked bar in the West, fantastic meals are prepared by our International Chef and served by our very friendly and trained staff!
Imagination Island Resort
Imagine an island resort all to yourself. That’s how it feels when you’re here at Imagination Island, with just 4 bungalows all spread out throughout this tiny atoll, each side of its sheltered turquoise lagoon. The bungalows are ideal for families or couples, furnished with wood and cane furniture and each has it’s own bathroom with hot and cold water, and an over water deck with a hammock to relax of an afternoon with an ice cold beer.
Oravae Cottage
Ever dreamt of escaping to your own private island? Leave the rat race well and truly behind at Oravae Cottage – your own Robinson Crusoe style bungalow in the heart of the Pacific. Perched on the edge of an islet 20 minutes from the mainland, there’s nothing to distract you here but the gentle sound of waves.
