We just returned from 12 days on Tranquility Island and are not looking forward to the 'real life' again. One does not expect a five star resort and the mixed reviews might discourage a few independent travelers from considering staying on Moso Island, but this never stopped us from giving it a try... And what a wonderful surprise it was... More

Thank you for all of your thank you's. So good to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. Also pleased to hear that you liked the naturally organic garden food that we were able to provide. The staff also enjoyed your company. More

I arrived in Vanuatu for 4 weeks in mid January, 3 weeks of which I spent at Tranquillity. Since comming to Vanuatu first in 2005 I have spent time on Tanna, Santo and Efate all wonderfull but Tranquillity keeps bringing me back. The Hyatt it is not. If that is your scene choose a 5 star resort on Efate. For... More

We didn't stay overnight, but we plan on going back and doing just that. We bought a dive package in Port Vila. Best deal of the packages we found. They picked us up at our hotel and took us for a 35 minute ride over the mountain to a little beach where we boarded a boat for the run across... More

We booked one expensive package for 3 nights and we escaped after one.first:they call them selves "Eco" lodge,but this place (belonging to an Australian guy and not to local people as on the brochure from shepa government it seems to be) has nothing to do with Eco-friendly. Next to the dwell where they get water we found car batteries open... More

Tranquility may not be everyones cup of tea, however the images taken by the guests of their own muddy boot marks covering just about all of the floor does not fit in. Normally guests would take their boots off before going inside. It is hard to find mud on the pathways there. There has been a change of management and... More

Great family experience in a beautiful location. We loved the authentic accommodation in island fares, the friendly service by management and staff, and the proximity to nature. Kim and Terry were the perfect hosts, and we enjoyed the lively discussions at mealtime. The diving and snorkelling was sublime, kayaking, caving and bushwalking was excellent, and we fell in love with... More

My family and I stayed here for two weeks, and for us it definitely was our best holiday we have ever had. The views were stunning, and the water was crystal clear. There was amazing snorkelling right in front of the fares. Even better snorkelling spots were just a kayak away, and lunch was packed for us if we were... More

We have just spent a week relaxing on the island over Christmas and had a great time. The diving was wonderful with healthy corals, clear water and lots of tropical fish - seeing dugongs whilst snorkelling before breakfast was a bonus! The accomodation whilst basic was all we needed and the food was plentiful & tasty. Thanks to everyone for... More

We had been wanting to visit Tranquillity for several years. We weren't disappointed after our 7 night stay. From our first contact on-line the office staff were excellent, facilitating the our booking process efficiently and promptly. We were met on schedule at the airport and taken to the office to finalise everything. We were taken to a supermarket to stock... More

I spent 4 days at the resort (19 to 22 November) and managed to get 7 dives done in that time. Kim and Terry are great hosts and Tommy is one of the better dive instructors I met on my many dive trips around the globe. If the opportunity arrives I will go back there for sure.

Don't come here expecting luxury accommodation. This is not what this place is about. However, if you want some of the best ever snorkelling straight off your own private beach, with no-one else in sight, then come to Tranquility. We have snorkelled and dived at some of the best locations in the world and this is more than a match.... More
