Uepi Island Resort
Uepi Island is located as a barrier reef island on the edge of the Marovo Lagoon. One side of the island is fringed with sandy beaches lapped by clear lagoonal waters, whilst the other side has a wall of uplifted volcanic rock encrusted with corals, forming a fringing reef and a drop-off of approximately 2,000m depth. Uepi Resort is situated among cultivated gardens at the eastern end of the 2.5km long island and the remainder of the island is covered with pristine jungle, traversable via walking paths.
Uepi accommodation is bungalow style, 6 detached dwellings, 2 semi-detached units and 2 semi-detached guest rooms. The maximum number of beds is 28, however 20 guests is considered a full house. Four bungalows are absolute beachfront, two bungalows are set back a few metres in the gardens and the semi-detached accommodations have excellent views of the lagoon. All accommodations are within immediate walking distance from the sandy beaches and the fringing reef areas.
Because of its location Uepi Island Resort can offer action packed, stress free holidays.
