Beachfront Property for Sale in Aore Island, Sanma, Vanuatu

One-Acre Beachfront Plot with 40m of White Sand Beach

Asking Price: 225,000 USD
Opportunity for Business or Living in Aore Island, Private Subdivision

Located in a private subdivision on Aore Island, this one-acre beachfront plot features 40 meters of white sand beach, residential and tourism zoning, and sweeping views toward Tutuba and Ambae Island.

The property is planned for four small, eco-friendly, off-grid island-style cottages and a kitchen and bathroom block, with the concrete pad already completed. One of the cottages will be a treehouse, built on and around a very large ancient fallen tree, complete with a deck and lookout. The build is eco-friendly and sustainable, using local hardwoods, bamboo, and natangora roofs — constructed to western cyclone standards while maintaining a true tropical island aesthetic. The treehouse and one cottage are currently under construction, with the remaining development ready for the new owner to shape as they wish. Assistance with the rest of the build is available if required, with weekly progress photos on offer.

The full acre is fenced, gated, and accessed via a driveway, with only a quarter of the plot cleared — leaving ample space for future development. The grounds are planted with a wide variety of tropical flowers, shrubs, palms, cycads, and elephant ears, alongside a large vegetable garden producing coconuts, bananas, pawpaw, watermelon, cassava, sweet potato, taro, sweetcorn, beans, snake beans, peppers, island cabbage, and pumpkin. All posts for the cottages and kitchen and bathroom block were sourced from hardwood trees felled during the clearing of that quarter acre.

Infrastructure includes a concrete slab for a shed off the driveway, a water tank pad, a well and septic tank, and a well clad with lava and coral rocks as a feature. The property also includes a traditional nakamal, a firepit built from lava and coral rocks with hardwood log seating, and a large traditional canoe repurposed as a flower planter.

Crushed seashell steps lead down to the 40-meter white sand beach, which features a natural coral seawall and a large rock formation in the ocean with a natural dip pool. A 30-meter walkout reaches a deep-water drop-off, ideal for snorkelling, fishing, and swimming. The beach is also a prime spot for watching turtles, dolphins, and dugongs, with remarkable views across to Tutuba and Ambae Island.

The property sits adjacent to Aore Paradise, a top-performing Airbnb, and is a 10-minute boat ride from Luganville, offering easy access to shops, hardware suppliers, and restaurants. Aore Island itself is defined by lush jungle backdrops, white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reef systems, with a quiet, laid-back pace of life and famously welcoming locals.

The property presents excellent future rental potential as a holiday letting or a private island residence. Due to a change in circumstances, this opportunity is now being passed on to its next owner.
